Building Lord Yupa

[NineThePuma]

I just watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, wanna make the crazy awesome TWF sword fighter. He needs to be able to solo mooks and be crazy awesome. Thoughts? =3

Fighter 10 in a land of warrior/commoner 1s and 2s.

When in doubt, Warblade. Are there any particular abilities to base a build off of?

[NineThePuma]

Dualwielding. He's "famed sword master" after all.

[OracleofSilence]

seems easy enough. as they said up there, warblade, and mooks are mooks. they can be killed easy. maybe go for a charger, and go Iron Heart/Tiger Claw? maybe grab some Stone Dragon for damage boosts. should go through mooks without a problem

Spell-less TWF Ranger with Favored Enemy Vermin would fit considering the harsh environments he travels through and those huge bugs he has to fight. You could also claim one of those Chocobo bird things (maybe Riding Bird from Dragon #323 page 35, listed as level AC level Druid 4/ Ranger 8) as his Animal Companion.

I've thought about this before. I'd bet almost anything that he'd be a ranger or swordsage. Probably more swordsage since he doesnt have any actual nature related abilities like Nausicaa.

And he also needs to be able to run around w/out armor and not worry. Only class I can think of for that is monk and ninja, which just plain work, but there are probably others.

But those two classes are pretty horrible in terms of D&D. Maybe look at Ranger, Dervish? I don't remember everything on those..but it seems like that'd work.

Sorry bout that. There should be a don't between plain and work:smalltongue:

[mootoall]

Er, Swordsage gets the same Wis to AC as Monk ...

[Seharvepernfan]

He wore armor under his clothes, it was ohmu shell plate, I believe. Basically mithril.
