Soul Calibur V
Early-ish 2012
Favourite Character: Raphael (And Amy by extension)
Build Idea/Goal: Rapier Semi-Optimized ("Human") Fighter
Feat Thought Listing: (There's a few, which are the flops that I don't notice)
Weapon Finesse: Dex focus
Quick Draw: Standard Sword in Hand fluff
Dodge/Mobility: +1 AC, is never bad, back out when need be.
Combat Reflexes/Rollibars Gambit: Duh (for me at least)
Improved Critical: Better chance to wound.
Improved Initiative: Quick on the Draw
Weapon Focus/Specialization (Greater/Mastery/Supremacy: Good Boosts
Driving Attack: Culmination Piercing Move for Higher level Fighter.
Acrobatic Strike: Dodge Roll Hit
Overwhelming Assault/Defensive Sweep: Keep Foes at Bay
Lunging Strike: Flavour
Evasive Reflexes: Move away from dangerous situation rather than plugging forward.
Rapid Assaut: Attacking first deals better damage.
Defensive Strike: Block then Strike
Eyes in the back of your head: No flanking benefit
Hold the Line: AoO against Charging Foe
(That's all I can think of, Right now)
Other Stuff:
Rapier Wounding, Vicious, Warning Rapier
Training Dummied.
Mithral Shirted
Robe of the Iron Mage: +4 Ac (Mage Armor on a piece of cloth)
Any other ideas? Only maybe Warblade instead of Fighter depending on what feats should be taken. This all started with me looking for a decent Rapier focused build, lacking that I left it and carried on with my life, then I went and checked up on SoulV and remembered that I wanted to make a Rapier fighter so I'm back to it, Since I plan to use fighter as base (for the time being at least) I just looked for every feat that would seem useful or flavourful however as a Human Fighter he'd need to be Level 21 to have them all (Vampire gives Combat Reflexes, Dodge and Improved Initiative for free) As a (Human) Vampire Fighter ECL 29 it is possible, but seeing as this is either going to be an optional boss for a 5-15 Campaign, or a build I hope to play in the future, I'd like to find a way to lower it down. First step is by cutting Vamp, but still much to cut, so any thoughts, questions, comments, concerns, ideas, examples of a 3.5 All Books allowed Pre-Vamp Rapier Fighter Raphael?
