Indeed. Ethnic dwarves get Ugrosh and waraxe as martial weapons.

Yes. You don't need it to use DWA.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-07-24 06:22pm

Sorry, that was a 3.0 carryover. On the subject of mistakes, Pcm actually gets 10hp +9d10hp +(Con bonus x10).

Thanks to IO, I've got a tentative build:

Theoretical 10th level Dwarven fighter Sword and Board style

Str 16, Con 18, Dex 12, Wis 14, Int 12, Cha 8. Race modifiers and level bonuses included.

Feats: Alertness, Skill Focus: Spot, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Dwarven War Axe), Weapon Focus: Dwarven Waraxe, Weapon Specialization: Dwarven War Axe, Improved Critical: Dwarven Waraxe, Power Attack, Sunder.

Gear: Magic shield, magic plate, magic axe, eyes of the eagle, cloak of resistance, ring of protection.
I do believe Dwarves treat dwarven war axes as martial weapons. I think you might have an extra feat to play with.

Fuck, I thought he put those in as being racial feats.

He also looks to be two feats light on top of that. Six fighter bonus feats, plus four for normal levels equals ten, and I'm only seeing 8.

Yep, I botched it. Apparently holding two conversations at once and doing a good job of character building is not in my skill set.

Utsanomiko · Post by **Utsanomiko** » 2005-07-24 07:10pm

Mine's updated, with equipment added and reduntant proficiency retracted:

(GMT -6) Utsanomiko-- Blublo Phillippei-- Gnomish Paladin
STR 16 DEX 8 CON 16
INT 10 WSD 14 CHA 12
100hp
Feats: Endurance, Die Hard, Leadership, Self-Sufficient
26 skill points:
Concentration: 6
Diplomacy: 5
Heal: 5
Knowledge (nobility & royalty): 6
Sense Motive: 4
Class Abilities: Smite evil 3/day, Remove disease 2/week, Special mount, Turn undead, Aura of courage, Divine Health, Divine Grace, Lay on hands, Detect evil, Aura of good.

Items:
Bastard Sword +2, Gnomish Holy Plate (Full-Plate +1, Moderate Fortification), Courtier's outfit, Ring of Protection +2, Amulet of Health +2, signet ring, belt pouch containing: Healer's kit, flint & steel, charcoal pencil & 5 sheets of parchment, 10,925gp.

Stats don't reflect items, which I recall adds 2 AC and 2 Constitution, boosting his hitpoints to 110 and AC to 21. Oh, and about that special mount: naturally I'd prefer it to be a riding dog. Some sort of big St. Bernard kind of breed, dark red fur... and his name shall be 'Peanut'.

CaptainChewbacca · Post by **CaptainChewbacca** » 2005-07-24 07:17pm

I believe a Bastard Sword is a large weapon, and you're a small creature, so that would mean you'd need a feat to use it.

The Dark · Post by **The Dark** » 2005-07-24 07:21pm

Bean - my character sheet is at this site. I am GMT -5.

And I got bloody lucky on my hit dice. Both mage rolls came up 4, and the lowest other roll I had was a 4 on a d8. Everything else was 6 or higher.

I feel pretty good. AC 21 if fighting ranged, 23 up close. I should stay away, though, since my ranged attack bonus is at least double my melee bonus (more if they're point-blank). 1d8+2 normally, 1d8+4 if a target's within 30 feet.

Rax pointed out earlier in this thread that I'd only need the feat to use it one-handed, which he wouldn't be able to do anyway due to his size.

You're small, so you can use small weapons one-handed and medium weapons 2-handed. Just like a medium creature can use a medium weapon one-handed, but can only use a large weapon 2-handed without a feat. You need a feat to use a large weapon at all.

It doesn't appear to be classified as such.

He could just use a bastard sword sized for him. According to the PHB, such a thing would do 1d8.

Isn't that a contradiction to say I can use a large without the feat but need it anyway? And that's besides theexotic proficiency is for using it one-handed, and a medium bastard sword does 1d10.

Redblade 3.5ed character builder doesn't note any inability or attack reduction to use a Bastard Sword without an exotic proficiency.

CaptainChewbacca · Post by **CaptainChewbacca** » 2005-07-24 07:50pm

I stand corrected. Bastard Sword is a medium weapon.

CaptainChewbacca · Post by **CaptainChewbacca** » 2005-07-25 02:22am

Seems like I'll be playing around midnight.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2005-07-25 05:18am

Just thought I'd add that I am on the GMT line, it's just Daylight Savings over here. Hence the +1.

For my HP I've got 10 automatically (Yay Fighter!) followed by 5, 10, 7, 7, 9, 1, 6, 9, 7. 71 total, plus Con bonus (2) times 10 (20) equals 91.

Isn't that a little high?

Rolling again, I get a total (+20 included) of 77. Is that more reasonable?

So, my modified Character Build is:

Theoretical 10th level Dwarven fighter Sword and Board style

Str 16, Con 18, Dex 12, Wis 14, Int 12, Cha 8. Race modifiers and level bonuses included.

Feats: Alertness, Skill Focus: Spot, Weapon Focus: Dwarven Waraxe, Weapon Specialization: Dwarven Waraxe, Improved Critical: Dwarven Waraxe, Power Attack, Improved Sunder.

Gear: Magic shield, magic plate, magic axe, eyes of the eagle, cloak of resistance, ring of protection, ring of sustenance.

This leaves me with 3 feats to play with. I seem to recall Consequences suggesting I drop Skill Focus: Spot, but I'd accidentally taken a sleeping pill (Long story), so it's rather vague.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-07-25 05:29am

The Skill Focus: Spot was in there only because you wanted extreme watchfullness.

You miscalculated your hitpoints: At 18 Con your bonus is +4. 4x10=40. So you have 40+10+9d10 hp (if you don't have items boosting your Con even higher). Unfortunately, you can burn through even that number of hitpoints pretty quickly.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2005-07-25 05:38am

So, my HP on the higher roll is 111?

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-07-25 05:43am

Yes, it is high. Sword and board style is based on going high AC/high hp and taking everythng the opponents can dish out. Your Con is your highest stat and you rolled well. You'll need every point. 3.0/3.5 dishes out more damage than previous editions. One crit from a Fire Giant and you will be in a world of hurt.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2005-07-25 06:20am

Hrm. There's a lot of Rings of Protection and Cloaks of Resistance to choose from.

Then I'll perform a swinging thrust attack from the rigging of my Folding Boat, stabbing him in both eyes with my rapiers, then I'll swirl them around in his brains, arrr.
