Hello everyone,
I searched several forums about a multiclass AoO-Tripping-machine. I didn’t find a satisfying answer. So, I build my own. It is an example. Surely, if the campaign is running, I have to adopt the Char. Nevertheless, I would appreciate feedback and new ideas, suggestions, alternative feats for unexpected campaign development…. Criticize me to death!
Basic Idea:
We will start a new 3.5 campaign. There are several restrictions. Because we will play in a low-magic, western Europe medieval world, every strong magic class is forbidden for us (but NPC can be bards and the other less funny casters). Therefore, skills will be more important.
I decided to play a Human AoO-Tripping-Machine using a Guisarme (never played one before, so it’s new for me). I want to Spot Enemies early (Spot), won’t be fainted (Sense Motive), want to have the Option to deny AoO (Tumble), ignore some sorts of difficult terrain (Jump).
There will be an Archer, some sort of a Buffer (forgot the class, but something with a Healing and other Auras), a rouge and the one guy who did not know what to play and myself.
Character background:
Raised in a Gnome-monastery (he was exposed) I learned the basics of being a Monk. The other Trainees were better than I, they hit me often (because of my low Wis). But I was taller than the other Monks and recognized that tripping is easy (no AoO because of Improved unarmored strike). The masonry was located in the steppe and I frequently watched the Hyenas tripping their pray. The smith at the monastery, a Dwarf, told me about the outer world, dwarfen cities and so on.
I realizing I will never be a good Monk and decided to make my own journey.
Books and Rules:
DMG1 & 2, PHB1 &2, Complete Adventurer, Arcane, Champion, Divine, Mage, Scoundrel, Warrior.
The DM will also allow Weapons, Armors and non-magical Equipment from Races of the Stone and RotWild.
The MIC, Rules Compendium and Spell Compendium will be used as Errata for Feats, Spells, Weapon-Enchantments and so on (the official Errata for the books as well).
Prestige classes allowed, but as normal we have to talk with the DM.
Retraining (PHB2) is allowed. Example: I could learn another feat instead of Mobility at Lvl1, retrain this feat at Lvl9 to have Mobility as perquisite for Elusive Target. But I really don’t want to overuse it.
Attributes (72 Points after Race adjustment (70 for Half-Orcs, one can be lower than 6, max 18 (or 20 after Race Adjustment)):
Str 16 (I smash the potatoes)
Dex 16 (I throw the potatoes)
Con 16 (I eat scruffy potatoes)
Int 14 (I know a tomato is a fruit)
Wis 6 (and therefore tomatoes are a relevant part of a fruit salad)
Cha 4 (but nobody wants to by my delicious fruit salad)*
* not mine, who ever did this simile: Thank you ;)
