Re: Noob needs help with build

Thanks for putting that into perspective. If I do find at least a book for dex, that's two feats I don't have to take. For wis, that's levelups I can spend in dex, which translates to the same thing basically. Current abilities are 8/18/11/12/19/6. Was able to reach the 17 mark in Dex and Wis at cha...

Re: Noob needs help with build

I'll be going for blinding speed, but hopefully taking other avenues to get there. Is it really wise to use your levelup stat points in dex like that? I would've guessed wisdom first then suppliment dex as much as needed later. So, am I going to spend all that effort on getting the dex for Blinding...

I was always a pretty hot percentile dice tosser.

Re: Noob needs help with build

Actually, I am fully prepared to stick with construct shape only. the 30 wis looks really taxing to get. That really is just too many feats to burn on stats. Chances are I'll at least find +2 books for each stat, probably +4 before it's all over. Already found 3 +2's on Varok by level 14. I'll be go...

Re: Noob needs help with build

Followed Shadow's advice, rerolled, caught up with the other character before his buffs could expire.

From the looks of things you can get EWF Club without getting WF Club, as long as you take IC. Do WF and EWF stack?

Re: Noob needs help with build

12 druid lvls makes autoquicken an idiot build. no reason to have it because it won't really matter to you that much. as a shifter you won't be casting you'll be fighting. "Heya! It's me, Amoen!" Sorry, I was thinking it ever since I read your name. Amenhotep is how I'm used to seeing it. Anyway, I...

Re: Noob needs help with build

See my above post for new edits. EDIT: So Armor Skin looks really nice, E-prowess is alright. Are the epic wisdoms greatly needed, or can they be replaced? And 12/28? That'll put me at CL 33 before I take my first epic feat rather than 26. Since Shifter and Druid get the same +BAB, how does that rea...

Re: Noob needs help with build

As far as I can tell, Shifters aren't really feat starved, because your forms give you a lot of the feats you need to be effective. So if I were to go both Cons and Dragon, I'd need Dragon Shape, Construct Shape, WF club, imp critical club. Only two of those are epic feats, so very doable. Other epi...

Re: Noob needs help with build

Man, this post is pretty big. I'm serious, skip to the bottom couple of paragraphs if your eyes are weary. After reading the wiki a bit, I'm understanding better how Shifters are set up here. Construct shape does look appealing. After looking at dragon shape I have only a couple doubts. They look re...

Re: Noob needs help with build

Thanks for the kind words! I have played many many many RPGs in my time, and D&D for the longest. I understand that you can't really make the best choices until you know what's out there. The best you can do is try to get it right the first time and rebuild from there. After all, I'm playing this ga...

Re: Noob needs help with build

One last thing to consider - Its not too late to start over... Seriously, as your first character, you may not realize the grind of getting to 40. i believe that once you hit 30 you're halfway there. (seriously). so, if you're having fun, carry on. no harm in what you have working. but you could al...

Re: Noob needs help with build

Excellent point about the RD scrolls, and I was not aware of that. I'll also heed your warnings about Daeron and Melencia. However before I start leveling another toon, I'll want to have a good understanding of most of the challenges and changes this PW offers. If that is fulfilled by level 30 I may...

Re: Noob needs help with build

Thanks! I'm thinking I'll go 30cleric/5bg/5monk, taking the monk levels as soon as I can get my dex up to 14. I'll be sure to take auto quicken when it comes up as well. I decided on monk instead of rogue because I'm missing out on the level 1 rogue skill points. While I'm still technically losing a...

Re: Noob needs help with build

Thanks for the input guys. @ Vaga: I was going to take the Travel domain but I ran into a problem with that when rolling my character. I was trying my best to choose domains that agreed well with my deity (Bane) and faction (MA), so Evil and Magic seemed to be the most logical choices. I didn't real...

Noob needs help with build

Hello, I just started here and I'm enjoying this PW much. I'm not even sure if this is on the correct board, but I have some plight. I'm not accustomed to playing on a level 40 server, and I wanted to take my old build and expand on it a little. It's built for versatility, to allow him to prepare fo...
