A few notes:

1 - I like the utility of being able to teleport to Meridia, and having Ddoor for when it's useful. But the three DMs of Passage are not even remotely a required choice, and can be swapped easily.

2 - This has the Paladin active past life for access to the Divine Favor, which gives a little extra damage. Again not remotely required, but a nice bonus.

3 - Oversized TWF was taken at 20 due to a lack of feats I saw which were useful. Completely unnecessary however.

4 - I am far too lazy to list gear I have. However, it's not much, as I have absolutely no luck with pulling named items (raid or not). And I've been amassing GS mats waiting on the T3 bug to be fixed.

This build is ugly and its mother dresses it funny.

(Hey, you said to criticize it!)


Also, I don't understand the 16 Dex. 15 Dex would let you grab a 9 Wisdom and 9 Charisma and that would let you use Silver Flame potions even without any +stat gear.

Instead of OTWF, consider Improved Crit: Blunt. I'm not saying that you should take it, but just consider it. If you make a pair of Pos/Pos/Pos Warhammers, then you'll get a little boost on the Good Burst and you can also make a Stunning +10 Warhammer a little more useful in your hands with it. It's not the greatest feat you'll ever take, but you really shouldn't need the extra To Hit for OTWF with this character, so might as well take something that at least offers a little boost to DPS.


Edit: The Dragonmark feats are all very nice additions, but would you rather have them than an extra 66 HP? It's absolutely your choice, but it's something to think about.

[unbongwah]

I would start base stats 18 / 15 / 16 / 8 / 8 / 8. Or CON 14 INT 12 if you really want extra skill pts; although in that case a rogue splash seems like a pretty good idea.

Swim is a terrible skill. I'd put points into Haggle or Spot before I chose Swim. Hell, I make Tumble builds just for backflips, but I'd never put pts into Swim; my self-gimpage only goes so far!

It's mother also wears combat boots. And swings a Falchion.

Also, I don't understand the 16 Dex. 15 Dex would let you grab a 9 Wisdom and 9 Charisma and that would let you use Silver Flame potions even without any +stat gear.

The point spread ends up leaving me with a couple extra points, due to 4 points into INT. Couldn't afford more STR or CON, and didn't need more INT. I've thought about dropping INT down a point, since I have a few +1 tomes floating around. I can boost CON, and use Human adaptability to even it out.

Instead of OTWF, consider Improved Crit: Blunt. I'm not saying that you should take it, but just consider it. If you make a pair of Pos/Pos/Pos Warhammers, then you'll get a little boost on the Good Burst and you can also make a Stunning +10 Warhammer a little more useful in your hands with it. It's not the greatest feat you'll ever take, but you really shouldn't need the extra To Hit for OTWF with this character, so might as well take something that at least offers a little boost to DPS.

The only time I've ever used bludgeoning weapons is against skellies, which won't be giving any use to IC/Impact. My luck with pulling useful items isn't all that great; the only Stunning weapon I've pulled is the mace out of Sharn Syndicate end reward. Another thought was IC:Pierce, solely for the spiders in the Vale.

Edit: The Dragonmark feats are all very nice additions, but would you rather have them than an extra 66 HP? It's absolutely your choice, but it's something to think about.

Those, the Pally active past life, and OTWF are all optional feats. The Pally past life less so, as it does add a bit of damage for a short time here and there. I just like having DDoor around since I can't buy scrolls and UMD them, and a Fighter won't be quite as easy to get high UMD on. I considered taking Toughness in all 5 slots as well, but went to this instead.

I would start base stats 18 / 15 / 16 / 8 / 8 / 8. Or CON 14 INT 12 if you really want extra skill pts; although in that case a rogue splash seems like a pretty good idea.

I want the capstone, and there is no way I will drop CON to 14. On any build. I always felt my old Elf Cleric was too squishy with 14 CON and a +2 tome. Explained the even DEX earlier.

Swim is a terrible skill. I'd put points into Haggle or Spot before I chose Swim. Hell, I make Tumble builds just for backflips, but I'd never put pts into Swim; my self-gimpage only goes so far!

That only came after listing a supreme tome. There's only so much I actually need or want, and Swim isn't it. It's more use than spot though. That's more an issue with a lack of use for most skills than anything else. I only want Intimidate, Balance, and UMD, and Intimidate is iffy.

Dropped Dragonmarks and OTW, picked up Toughness x2 and SF:Intim and Improved Crit: Bludgeon. STR is now odd at 20, so I can free up 6ap, and given basic gear (Minos, GFL, +6CON, GS HP), can break 600hp.
