34pt Frenzied Kensai Horc

[djangonautic]

I have been thinking of TRing my 12/7/1 Tempest II Kensai I human and came across a reference to a
12 ftr/6brb/2rng build, but had not found a breakdown detailing what it actually consists of, so this is my attempt at one.

I'd appreciate any feed back on this build and maybe a link to the actual 12/6/2 build. Essentially, i tried to build this with max single target dps in mind, disregarding survivability. i think the build is fairly self evident, with the possible exception being the choice of Quick draw, my logic being that since the fighter haste boosts will play such a large part of this build, that it would be best to minimize the activation delay.
One specific question i have is whether the orcish extra action boosts also increase the number of available rages per rest.
(P.S. the tomes i used are from a supreme tome of ability i had used for my human. Just to be certain, i would assume that any tomes used are carried over in a TR, but please correct me if i am wrong as that would throw a pretty big wrench in my plans.)

I'd go Fighter12/Barbarian6/Rogue2.

You have solid Ref saves (side effect of TWF, DEX), so Evasion will work. And you can max UMD for wands, scrolls, RR/align items. Not trap skills, just UMD and maybe some points into open lock. You don't get FE, but you do get a nice 1d6+3 sneak attack.

When you TR, all tomes are gone. You keep loot, gold, but not tomes. TR is character delete/create new with preserved inventory.

cool, thanks for the heads up on the tomes question i think i found the original build,

pretty much same as what i set up, but with the rogue change you suggested( though there is mention on a non evasion ranger variant).

looking at the original, i'm liking the differences, though it does seem to be geared for a heavily TR'ed toon.

Also, i'm still wondering if the orcish extra action boost increases the number of rage uses per day.

look for the blitz build which is a 34 point 12/6/2 fighter/barb/rogue horc build.

You're only going to get like 3 points of damage to 1 FE by going ranger 2. Unless you're doing it for bow strength, there's not a real reason to just splash ranger 2.
