Yes - MORE CON. You need all the hit points you can get with a weapons master. Go ahead and drop your DEX to 12, since full plate only gives you a DEX bonus of 1, making anything higher than a 12 useless. And you shouldn't be able to take levels in Weapon Master until about level 8, I believe. I wouldn't worry much about CHA either (set it at 8) since a Weapon Master uses Intimidate more than anything for the extra communication options.

 

@Death rabbit

you need at least 13 of dex to get dodge, mobility, and 13 or 14 is not a big thing...

well with a human fighter, you have 3 feats at the beginning.

so weapon focus, dodge, mobility
level 2, you have 1 (fighter bonus) expertise
at level 3, I'll take power attack, lvl 4 weapon specialisation, level 6 you get 2 feats so : spring attack and whirlwind, and that's about it... so at lvl 7 I should be able to take weapon master.

for con, well perhaps I'll drop cha to 8 and put 14 con...

thanks

 

That's right about the 13 - my bad.

 

Would it be wise to take Weapon Master levels after 10? Or should you take Epic Fighter levels instead for the extra feats?

 

IIRC, epic weapon master receive a bonus feats every 3 lvl so it's pretty good and you don't need a hundred feat.

and every 5 lvl you get a +1 to hit (superior weapon focus) with your weapon of choice.

I'll probably continue with the weapon master even after lvl 10 but it's just me.

 

I am thinking about not even taking mine past 8. I mean you get the same to hit bonuses as a fighter and weapons master. To me +1 attack does not compare to the fighter's extra feats. With the feats you can improve the character's saves and hps, both of which are important.

 

Bah, people Bah!

Dumb that metalpieces waving puny humans fellas and feel real power of the SHIFTER!

Red dragon shift

 

I have a little question for you, weapon master player

what were your starting stats?? and where did you put your point when you reach 4-8-12, etc?????

 

I haven't actually played a weapon master but if I did I would start with 13 dex and 13 int so I could get all the feats that need those and then every time I could upgrade my stats I would pile them into Str. You need 25 Str for Dev/OW Critical and if you don't take any RDD levels then this might take a while to reach.

 

dont remember everything.

Ninue WoodWaker
Drow
Druid level 14
Shifter level 26

im sure that the wisdom is above 30
but unsure bout the other stats.

dual wielding two upgraded longswords +3 (both fully upgraded by the merchant in underdark.)

thats bout it.

damn, gotta start record my characers hehe

 

Fade: While everybody's probably chasing Drow, my character is chasing werewolfs near Port Llast. Topic didn't mention anything about HotU, so I thought it was about the whole NWN-saga. I should have known better, seeing all the HotU-Prestige Classes...

Planning to create a powerfull Fighter/Dwarven Defender (called Faragon) He has a big axe and a massive AC. Perhaps I make him a ranger with Elves as his favoured enemy.

 

I just completed the game, using Fighter (20), Champion of Torm (7 I think).

Stats:
Str 31
Dex 14
Con 12
Int 16
Wis 8
Cha 16

AC 51

Using a bastard sword upgraded with as many enchantments as I was allowed.

Constitution has been lowered by the suit of armour I'm wearing. Nothing hits me anyway.

Most of my items are to increase AC and Str. My character deals damage in the 40s and 50s with normal hits, and occasionally above 100 with criticals.

For battles against big people, who may get past the AC, I use items which increase my damage resistance, and the Gargoyle Boots for stoneskin. Knockdown helps me keep from getting hit too.

Statistically a mostly unimpressive character, but effective.

 

Kreok Dragonblade
Human

Bard(5)/Red Dragon Disciple(10)
str: 25
dex: 14
con: 16
int: 16
wis: 10
cha: 14

I'll now continue my character as weapon master in greatsword and I'll only gain weapon master levels from now on. I've just started HotU.

 

Wow...

Is ANYONE here using an Arcane Archer? I have an Elf Wiz 1/RougeX/Arcane Archer X that I finished the game with and he is AWESOME. I never miss with my bow, and since I have improved critical and the damage from sneak attacks he hits HARD.

 

How would one build an arcane archer?
Would it not be better to go Wizard/Ranger/Arcane Archer for a higher BAB as opposed to a Wizard/Rogue/Arcane Archer?

 

I guess sneak attack is way more effective than that little higher BAB. It isnt all that much difference in BAB anyway. Just a few points compared to just a few d6 damage

Anyway, Arcane Archer is cool all he way until the enemies get to you. And then you're stuck big time. You can just run back&shoot but it takes a while. And if you take Daelan he kills everything anyway.


Way to go with Shifter DW!

 

I am Nosforotu Zodd, a Wizard X, bard 1, RDD 4. picked bard just so i could pick RDD. My stats are:

Str: 15/25
Dex: 16/18
Con: 13/13/23
Int: 21/33
Wis: 10/10
Cha: 10/10

second (and third) stat are with items. I am currently getting the most out of my swath of desctruction with the following items:

Sythe - a flaming version of Death's Hand Maiden
Robe of Balpheron - reg +5, On Hit Negative Energy Burst (counts arrows as a hit!)
2 rings of +6 Int
Greater amulet of Health - immue to Lvl drain (including CON drain from a certain weapon)
Vestments of Faith - +5 damage soak
Epic Gloves of Concentration +30
and I switch between 1) Dragon Slippers - immune to fear & knockdown, and 2) Boots of Striding - CON +10 (which increases CURRENT HP as well as BASE HP)
and oh yes, the best part... the helm... i wear
the LichSkull! i don't care if its stats are pretty much useless, walkin' round with that is alot of fun!

the only problems i have encounted so far is a lack of funds (spent it all on upgrades to a weapon i don't use anymore, poor Enserric) and not enough enemies to fire brand or banshee scream, or major missle storm. its a bad day to be a bad guy... especially if the bugs set me off!
