Hi Folks,
I'm building a dex based combat cleric and I had two questions which googling couldn't find me answers on.
The character is the front line, So is built as a front line fighter that buffs in round 1, and heals after the battle.
It is a Dual cursed Metal Oracle (lame and Haunted, with progression in haunted)
First Question
The first is my stats. 15pt Buy start. I will get a further +2 to a stat (dex) from Human race, then either +2Dex or +2Cha from my characters starting country (Custom campaign Trait. THhe +2 dex suits my characters background as well)
Str: 13 Dex:14 Con 12: Int: 12 Wis: 8 Cha: 14
This allows me to get power attack
Str: 10 Dex:14 Con 14: Int: 12 Wis: 8 Cha: 14
No power attack, 1 more con
It seems worthwhile to drop 2 con points to gain the 13 strength. not only will this up carry weight (meaning I stay lightly encumbered so can gain full dex to armour bonus) it means I can easily take power attack. It does mean worse HP and worse Combat casting modifiers
Second Question
I am looking, as I mentioned, at making a dex fighter (due to story reasons, and so I am less MAD).
I'm torn between Dancing Dervish and Slashing Grace (Shortsword).
Dervish Dance is less feat intensive. Slashing Grace needs an extra feat, but allows me to gain dex to damage while still using a shield (buckler means I can two hand short sword if needed. Or I can take a larger shield than a buckler.
Thanks for the feedback!
