Level1 DN Build help

[DragonOfUndeath]

Exactly what it says on the tin.

PbP game
Human
Ability scores: 13,12,12,12,12,11 (I can't believe I rolled that)
No homebrew or setting specific
what spells, items etc. should I get, where should I put the 11 (13 is going in Cha)

[SaintRidley]

Can you request point buy? Because with those scores I'd shy away from being a caster. Or an anything, really.

Tomb-tainted soul (Libris Mortis) for a starting feat. Keep yourself healed all day with Charnel Touch.

Not really sure what else there is to do to help you. Those scores are... Yeah.

[Escheton]

Be a samurai, commit seppuku, reroll

Or:

Well, you are not gonna be, melee, or ranged, or dc spellbased. Not with those stats.
1 feat= tomb tainted soul, no questions asked.

However, you can selfheal till your hand get sore. And you get 1 free martial prof.

You could put the 13 in int and take combat expertise and improved trip at lvl 3. Guisarme as weapon. Decent control and tankage due to selfheal and DR soon.

You could pick a bow and hang back and hope for low hd skeletons to wander by...

this was the reroll. the other one had 2 9s and a 4

By RAW you can still re-roll(you can re-roll if your highest stat is a 13 or lower or if the sum of all your stat modifiers equal 0 or less).

I kinda want to stick it out, see what I can get for it.

Scroll down to the section titled 'Early Life of a Dread Necro"

Then I would definitely recommend putting you first stat increase int charisma, otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to cast Animate Dead.

That's what I'm planning to do (if it gets that high, PhB are notoriously short-lived)

Tomb Tainted Soul. Dump Con. Try to survive until level 8, when you make yourself a Necropolitan. If you die, roll up a new DN and try to do it better this time!

Because Con is going to be useless for you in the long run.

As he said when you get to a sufficient level you slap the necropolitan template on yourself. Now you are undead untill close to the end of level 19, then you kill yourself get a true res so you can get your capstone free and clear
