When asked about his past he mentions he was an Advisor/Ambassador to royality who was forced to flee his native homeland(He is evasive when asked which one) when he started a revolt when the current ruler went mad(According to him). Two assaination attempts and one attempted hanging by mob later he skipped out of the country for his own saftey leaving with nothing more than the clothes on his back and his staff of office. A true friend of the people.. whoever they are.

[Mr Bean]

Ok folks thats what we got so far, its time for sleep agian but I reaaly recomend entering your stats into www.3edb.com as I will be soon, it makes it nice easy to read/print/modify without all this rampent posting of updates

(And much less copy pasting for me!)
zzzz*thud

[Pcm979]

I feel stupid. Okay. I've decided to go 8 levels Fighter, 2 levels Dwarven Defender. This is what my modified list looks like:

Theoretical 8th level Fighter, 2nd level Dwarven Defender Sword and Board style.

Str 16, Dex 13, Con 18, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 7. Race modifiers and level bonuses included.

Feats: Dodge, Endurance, Toughness, Alertness, Weapon Focus: Dwarven Waraxe, Weapon Specialization: Dwarven Waraxe, Improved Critical: Dwarven Waraxe, Power Attack, Improved Sunder.

Gear: Shield, Large, Steel +1 (Moderate Fortification), Full-Plate +1 (Fire Resistance), Waraxe, Dwarven +1 (Metalline, Sure Striking), Eyes of the Eagle, Cloak of resistance +1, Ring of Protection +1, Ring of sustenance.

If that's OK, I'll move on to skills.

[CaptainChewbacca]

You have to have Sunder before you can have Improved Sunder. Also, you're 2 feats short.

[Pcm979]

Not according to Redblade 3.5e.

[Imperial Overlord]

If I recall correctly, they changed the name from Sunder to Improved Sunder is 3.5 (since you don't need the feet to Sunder).

[Pcm979]

So what's this about being 2 feats short?

[Imperial Overlord]

The comment is probably based on you being pure fighter.

You should have 5 class feats

And 4 level based feats.

[Pcm979]

In that case I'm all set. A question: What does this mean?:

Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.

[A Big Flying Fish]

It means that each level you get 2 + whatever you intelligence modifier is skill points to spend on skills. Except for the first level, where you get that multiplied by four.

e.g. If your INT was 13, you'd have a modifier of +1. Therefore, for a fighter you'd get 3 skill points to spend per level, and 12 at the first level.

[Pcm979]

Oookay. So that means that I get 15 skill points for DD levels 1&2 of the above list?

[Raxmei]

You have to have Sunder before you can have Improved Sunder. Also, you're 2 feats short.

There is no such feat as Sunder. Anyone can sunder. Improved Sunder has only one prerequisite, power attack, which PCM has.

A Bastard Sword is neither a large weapon nor a medium weapon. A bastard sword can be built for any size character, and it is used the exact same way by characters of any size so long as it is made for people of their size category.

[White Haven]

Aaah, but a folding boat with a Spelljammer helm attached is another story entirely. But I should stop before Tycho extracts my uvula with a pair of tongs.

[Raxmei]

Oookay. So that means that I get 15 skill points for DD levels 1&2 of the above list?

No, you'd get six. The 4x skill points at first level applies only to the very first level your character has, not the first level of each class he enters. When you were just a level 1 fighter you got 12 skill points. Every level after that you just got 3. If you take on a new class you do not get 4x skill points on the first level of the new class.

You Intelligence modifier is 1. That means as a fighter you get 2+1 skill points per level. If your first level was fighter, that gives you 12 skill points at first level. Each level of fighter after that gives you 3. Entering Dwarven Defended (2+int as well) just gives you 3 skill points per level, just like when you were a fighter.

[Pcm979]

So I have exactly the same number of skill points as I would if I was a straight 10th level Fighter? Okey-dokey. My class skills are:

Fighter: Climb, Craft, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Jump, Ride, Swim.
DD: Craft, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot.

And according to Redblade 3.5, I have 39 skill points to throw around. Will I really need Craft, Ride and Handle Animal?

[A Big Flying Fish]

Craft only if you want to make things really. Unless you plan on fighting whilst riding something, you don't really need ride. Handle animal you shouldn't really need, unless you want to train animals.

[Pcm979]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you need Climb for climbing, Jump for jumping and Swim for swimming?

Odd. I didn't need extensive training to jump.

[Imperial Overlord]

They make you better at it.

[Raxmei]

Read the skill descriptions in the SRD. Most skills can be used untrained.

Problem with Climb, Jump and Swim is they all suffer from Armor Check Penalties. With enchanted (and thus masterwork) full plate and shield your armor check penalty is -6 when you're wearing full armor. This is doubled to a -12 penalty for swim checks. Climb, Jump, and Swim are all strength skills so you apply your Strength modifier (+4 in your case, iirc), then add any skill ranks you might have, and finally roll a d20 for the skill check. Even unskilled with all your penalties you should have no trouble climbing a knotted rope or jumping a 5 foot gap with a running start. Without ranks in Swim you're likely to drown if you fall into water with your armor on, as you have -8 to swim before you add skill ranks, and you need a roll of d20-8 (average result: 2) to end up greater than 5 to avoid sinking even in calm water.

[Pcm979]

Nobody tosses a Dwarf, eh?
How does 4 for Climb, Jump and Swim each, 6 for Intimidate and 7 for Listen, Sense Motive and Spot each look?

[Raxmei]

Listen, Sense Motive, and Spot are only class skills for Dwarven Defender, not fighter. If you invest skill points you got from being a fighter into them they cost two skill points per skill rank. It's inefficient but if those skills are high priorities it's worth doing.

[Pcm979]

*Facepalm* I forgot that. Also, according to what you say, Swim is a high priority and Climb and Jump are low.

How about Climb and Jump 2, Intimidate 4, Swim, Listen and Sense Motive 5 and Spot 6?

[Raxmei]

Not spectacular, but nobody expects much from fighters in the skill department. It's good enough to get by on and the spot and listen make you an okay sentry. As long as you don't try doing cartwheels you should be fine.

[Pcm979]

Theoretical 8th level Fighter, 2nd level Dwarven Defender.

Str 16, Dex 13, Con 18, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 7. Race modifiers and level bonuses included.

Feats: Dodge, Endurance, Toughness, Alertness, Weapon Focus: Dwarven Waraxe, Weapon Specialization: Dwarven Waraxe, Improved Critical: Dwarven Waraxe, Power Attack, Improved Sunder.

Skills: Climb 2, Intimidate 4, Jump 2, Listen 5, Sense Motive 5, Spot 6, Swim 5.

Gear: Shield, Large, Steel +1 (Moderate Fortification), Full-Plate +1 (Fire Resistance), Waraxe, Dwarven +1 (Metalline, Sure Striking), Eyes of the Eagle, Cloak of resistance +1, Ring of Protection +1, Ring of sustenance.

I need to know how much the Dwarven Waraxe +1 (Metalline, Sure Striking) costs. Can someone help?
