I'd recently asked for advice on a build for my Gnoll character, whom I wanted to be a straight martial character. However, the initial thread worked under the assumption that he was Chaotic Neutral. Then, I got curious, posted a character analysis thread, and figured out he was Lawful Evil. Whoops. Beeeg difference.
So, here's the gist of it; Level 2 character, 2/3rds of the way through the Gnoll's ECL. No class levels yet. Only Feat is Endurance.
Abilites:
STR 21
DEX 10
CON 20
INT 13
WIS 15
CHA 6
Campaign setting is arctic, mix of mountains and tundra. Planned weapon combo is dwarven waraxe and maul, either wielding whichever suits the scenario best (carrying both mostly to overcome undead DRs) or duel wielding them.
The rest of the party includes:
Chaotic Neutral Elf Ranger (Archer)
Chaotic Good Aasimar Cleric of Pelor
Chaotic Neutral Aasimar Sorcerer (Probably Blaster)
Chaotic Neutral Drow Sorcerer
[Chaotic ???] Human Fighter (Scythe, Trip Specialization)
Yes, I've noticed I'm the only character who's Lawful, but I'm also the only one who's had a character analysis. We'll see how they turn out. :smallamused:
So yeah, which base class (Ranger or Fighter, most likely...) and which Prestige Class? If I had to choose virtues, I'd say to make him damn near unkillable, then after that focus on hitting back just as hard.
Available Books are:
Players Handbook
Dungeon Master's Guide
Monster Manual
Libris Mortis
Draconomicon
Silence and Song
Masters of the Wild
Complete Warrior
Please do not bother suggesting anything from any other book, as I dislike using material from books I don't have in meatspace. Thanks ahead of time.
