I've run around with a Heavy Repeater Rogue now since 2006. Never really knew what to do with him regards Reincarnation since his selection of repeaters was / is suustancial.... [Greensteel Lit II], [holy burst / lawful outsider bane], [wounding / puncturing] , etc...
Heck, I didn't want to let go of his high INT either... way too high for all practical purposes.. then again, Assassin Vorpal strikes with a repeater was nice.
Maybe also cuz being a Wizard is also a class I like to play , perhaps that too inclined me to keep a high int... ok, search / disable too (even though the dc's are low enough for just about anyone with a q-tip to do).
In any event, said toon has been mothballed for over a year now... i pull him out now and again to buy / sell as he also serves as my hagglebot.
But now with the Artificer , I finnaly have a go forward plan that is relatively in line with the "orginal concept", if one can call it that.
So yeah, I'm stoked!
