Hey all.
After all the help you guys gave me with my Social skill monkey (Beguiller)
I figured I would toss out the character my wife will be playing to get some comments.
just to catch some of you up, we will be starting at 1st in a MOSTLY urban campaign in Waterdeep.
The group will NOT be optimised but I would like her to feel like she is helping.
So far the group looks like this
A Dwarf Rogue
A Dwarf Fighter/Dwarven Defender
A Elf Duskblade
A Human MT (Sorc/Cloi Cleric)
And my character a Human Beguiller.
She wants to play a Charging breaker, in other words she wants to sunder stuff.
****NOTE, PLEASE READ****
Yes I know sundering things breaks loot, Yes I agree there are better routes to take, No she is not changing her mind.
Anywho, her stats are (Can be re-arranged)
STR 16
DEX 15
CON 16
INT 15
WIS 15
CHA 14
The build I was thinking is this.
1st: (Lion totem barbarian)- Power Attack
Human Bonus- Cleave
Flaw- Improved Sunder
2nd: (Fighter 1)- Weapon Focus Greatclub (Needed for 3 Mountians)
3rd: (Fighter 2)- Improved Bullrush
3rd- 3 Mountians style (Yes I know she can't make use of it yet, but I cant really fit it anywhere else)
4th: (Barbarian)
5th: (Fighter 3)
6th: (Barbarian)- Combat Brute (for Sundering Cleave)
7th: (Fighter 4)- Shock Trooper (I'm sure we all know why so I wont bother)
8th: (Barbarian)
9th: (Fighter 5)- Deadly Concussion (Drag 333, See below)
For those of you not famillier with Deadly Concussion here is what it does.
Req: Str 13, Perform Precussion 6 Ranks (why she cant have it till 9th), Imp sunder, PA.
Benefit: If you use a bludgeoning weapon to sunder a opponents armor or shield in a SINGLE hit, the opponent takes damage equal to the damage you delt to the item.
The point: She should be decent from Lvl 1. as she levels up she will get more and more options but they will come slowly so she can learn them all (She is fairly new to D&D but has LARP'd for years)
She will be able to charge, use PA at max lowering her AC not to hit with Shock trooper, sunder someones shield causing the same damage to them, then sundering cleave into them again. with lion totem she gets another attack and can then do the same to their armor. IF for some reason they are not dead they have a save to make vs. nausea thanks to 3 mount.
Issues:
Really the biggest is how to get a Adda weapon when she wields a greatclub.
I had thought of having her use a Warmace as a Martial 2-handed and just take the -1 AC IF it would work for 3 mountians.
Thats about it. any help would be great.
