SHe is so yummy..

I agree on the Charisma thingy, if she were traveling in Drow lands she wouldn't suffer any penalties..

...except among the network of Drow associated with her mother, of course.

Note: Fixed Durnkrag's AC.

True, but that would be a reputation modifier, not a racial modifier or charisma modifier. This is actually the reason all those modifiers in dnd have names.

Alright, I'm going to focusing on Khaggoth after Christmas... so here are some questions for the DCI master.

1) Khaggoth doesn't have any 'Weapon Focus' feats, does he? For a while he was using an axe (Was that a battleaxe or a greataxe?), but it just seemed like he used it in a less sincere form as, say, Durnkrag's axe-fighting. His blows were equally meaningful, but had a less specialized manner to them. Aside from that, I suppose he has 'Power Attack' and 'Cleave' (more than likely has the latter anyways after seeing him cleanly chop off the head of a certain gnoll and come close to slicing another).

2) What type of sword is Frostfire? Is it a greatsword or a bastard sword? What type of enchantments (if any) does it have?

3) How are these stats?

Level 5 Barbarian

Hit Dice: 5d12+48 (60 hp)

21 Strength
12 Dexterity
18 Constitution
9 Intelligence
12 Wisdom
10 Charisma

Take your time on this one, Kayless. I'm in no rush. Besides, I just finished with final exams, so thinking is really going to need a temporary reprieve for me.

Nope, no Weapon Focus feats for Khaggoth. Power Attack and Cleave are obvious choices though. He may have one of the Rage enhancing feats too (Intimidating Rage, Extra Rage, etc.) since he's quite formidable when berserk (he's quite formidable even when he's calm, but he's even more formidable when he's raging).

[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]What type of sword is Frostfire? Is it a greatsword or a bastard sword? What type of enchantments (if any) does it have?[/QUOTE]
I believe Frostfire is a +1 greatsword with icy burst...

Though now that I think about it, I might have originally intended it to be a Frost Brand, but that's a wee bit too powerful for a 5th level character (it's been awhile since I first came up with the sword, so my memory is a little hazy).

Stats look good, though I have to admit I'm not really sure what his Dex should be. He doesn't wear much in the way of armor, but doesn't seem too nimble either. Anywhere between 10 and 14 seems reasonable, so it's all good.

Up next is Mac, so I'm going to need QUITE a few pointers on him.

Galuf the Dwarf · Post by **Galuf the Dwarf** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 12:17 am

Okay, my questions onf Mac St. Iur....

1) What are his weapons? It appears as if he either has two longswords or a longsword and a shortsword.

Any other special things on him (besides, say, thief's tools)?

2) Feats. Definitely 'Two-Weapon Fighting.' Anything else?

3) His levels. How many of Fighter and Rogue each?

Hey! That Gnoll was taken off guard by a cheap tactic! He was trying to negotiate with them... Yes... Negotiate... That'll do nicely... It was unfair of Khaggoth and that damn-near vorpal axe of his!

[/QUOTE]
Short swords all the way, baby. That's his thing.

[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]Any other special things on him (besides, say, thief's tools)?[/QUOTE]
Hmmm... Good question. Assassin-y gear I suppose. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]2) Feats. Definitely 'Two-Weapon Fighting.' Anything else?)[/QUOTE]
Besides Two-Weapon Fighting, I think Combat Expertise, Improved Initiative, Weapon Finesse (Short sword), and Weapon Focus (Short sword) are all good choices.

[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]3) His levels. How many of Fighter and Rogue each?[/QUOTE]
Rogue 5/Fighter 2 I should think. He's definately more rogue than fighter.

Sunder weapon???
since he quite easily cuts Khaggoth's axe in two.

[QUOTE=Fiberfar]Sunder weapon???
since he quite easily cuts Khaggoth's axe in two.[/QUOTE]

That is debatable, since (unfortunately) I don't seem to have the sourcebook from which that feat came from, and so if there are certain requirements, that may make things tricky.

Kayless: Sounds good. I thought he was a Rogue 5/Fighter 2 in the first place.

Feats-wise, I think I'll go with Weapon Finesse (Note: this feat applies for all Dex-applicable weapons in 3.5 Edition), Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (Shortsword), and Improved Initiative. I'm trying to determine if his Fighter levels (no 3.5 Edition Player's Handbook on me yet, mind you)

Stats-wise, I was thinking this for Mac:

16 Strength
18 Dexterity
16 Constitution
16 Intelligence
10 Wisdom
14 Charisma

Since Mac uses shortswords instead of (a) longsword(s), I'm wondering if his strength should be lower.

Also, after Mac, I think I might take a break from the two major sides and go for a minor character, preferably the Lich (and Blinky) or Durngrim. After that, here's my intended line-up.

1) Castor
2) Ganelon
3) Beatrice
4) The Archdruid
5) Arudin
6) Lepus
7) The Lich & Blinky or Dungrim (depending upon who I did first)
8) Gruffyn

Cripes, it took almost two hours to compose this message!

I completely forgot about that. Yes, Sunder would be fitting too.

Doesn't the WotC website have the 3.5 rules up as part of the open gaming license?

[QUOTE=Galuf the Dwarf]Since Mac uses shortswords instead of (a) longsword(s), I'm wondering if his strength should be lower.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, 14 seems better to me.

His Touch AC is 14 - remember that DEX bonuses are included against touch attacks.

His Attack Bonus with his short swords is + 9 / + 9 - since he has Weapon Finesse the 'to hit' bonus is off his DEX as well.

That's the first I heard of that.

Two-Weapon Fighting w/ a light weapon in the off-hand gives a -2 penalty to both weapons.

The Great Hairy · Post by **The Great Hairy** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 8:32 pm

Yep. You can check the SRD, it's definitely in there.

Breakdown of Mac Shortsword attacks:

+ 5 BAB
+ 4 DEX (Weapon Finesse)
+ 1 Weapon Focus
+ 1 Masterwork weapons
- 2 Two Weapon Fighting
----
+ 9 Total

Cheers mate,
