Figured I'd post this here. If it's to different let me know and I can change it to better fit in with the clan norm.
I was going to make a light infintry dwarf wearing only chainmail weilding a warhammer as his main weapon and a hand axe as a back up, also he'll use a light crossbow as his ranged weapon. I've tried it out a little on th OC and it worked out pretty good so I thought I'd give it a try here. I like to be different.
If this is to different like I said I'll gladly change it.
From my perspective it's wonderful that someone is trying something different from the usual fullplate/waraxe/towershield pg-combo. Just be sure to check your figures before you start it out, because medium armor and no shield will dump your ac pretty low. You can back that up with doing a ton of dmg (so you'll be valuable in a party without being tank), take rouge lvls for tumble or something. Love the light infantry concept. Maybe that could reflect on rp too, having a strict military background, always asking the party appoint a commander aso
We'll see how it goes, just as soon as I get that name I'm waiting for, unless it's the one you said then I'll make him now. :)
The militry background is kinda what I was going for, a thinker rather then just a rusher. We'll see how it goes. And he will be taking the rapid fire feat for the crossbow also. In all my time play NWN I've yet to take and I don't think I know anyone else that has either.
I was going to go 100% fighter with him, and the ac really won't be to much of a problem. Hell at level two I was already taking out the orcs in the cave past the mines. I went as far as the crossfire trap and headed back. The way I have him built he should be pretty good the way he is. Unless you all want me to go with a few rogue levels. If I do it will be later on though. Let me know.
yea you shouldnt have to worry to much on AC, you can take some rogue levels if you like but if ya wanna go 100% ftr thats cool too. plus you'll be having a big axe to back you up soon as i get my char rolled up and all.
Just gotta find Hantur now lol

The biggest reason I don't want to take rogue levels is becasue it just doesn't fit him. Now if I could take rogue levels without the sneak attack then it would be a different story. And by level 8 if I'm not mistaken my ac should be about 18 and with a shield it'll be twenty, not going to carry around the tower shield.
thats 2 more than the AC of a full plate (1 more if have 12 or 13 dex) so ya your AC should be fine and after playing with your char today, i think RPing with your char and fighting along side him will be lotta fun

I would love to fight beside your character........if you would leave me somthing to hit.
Actually his dex will be 16 once he hits level 4 and it will go up again at level 8, his ac that is, if I'm not mistaken. His ablities right now are: Str: 16 Dex:15 Con:15 Int:13 Wis:10 and Char:6 (of course) Just got to work on his personality alot still and get the damndable language down. I was thinking of bumping his Int: up one for one extra skill point that way I could be the clan crafter of armor or weapons. Still thinking about it.
I loved play earlier today, I only wished I had more time. It looked like we where about to take over the rest when we started to head in throught the gate. I've never seen so many dwarfs in a group.
LOL i was thinking the same thing, we looked like a battle hardened war party ready to slay anything in our path, and with Trauban in the lead it felt soooo COOL
