Double Weapon Ranger/WM for Twiggy

Post by mining »

Since AC is clearly useless (like 40 max) we'll be focusing on HP and DR. We'll dip 4 fighter preepic for feats, and because this build will require party support anyway (no need to care about UMD). This is not cheesing, this is playing intelligently. Because of Zotreth robes (thanks Bargeld) we already have our pierce/slash DR, so lets roll with dire mace for bludg DI/DR.

Depending on where you want the build, Githyanki or Azer are the intelligent choice (gith = AO).

68/63/58/53/68/68/63 party buffed.

Also, can drop 2 AB for 9/- DR. (or 2 for 4 EERs, which is likely the better trade)

(also, I hope you realize that I dislike your implications and philosophy about building, not intending to attack you personally.)

Those are book uses

You really are lazy. Just do the change once and save the file as your template and you never have to do it again, then entering books is so much easier and cleaner. It takes about 30 seconds to do and it saves you a minute for every build you make, and makes your builds will look way less confusing.
