PTWF with Dire Charge+Powerful charge

Unread post by blacksoft »

Add that to:

- Sneak attack build attacking from stealth (AB bonus from both attacking from stealth and furious charge is phenomenal)
- str/con-based Ranger with BOE utilizing northlander hewing (example: 21 Ranger/4 Barb/ 5 dwarven defender) - can get 6/- damage reduction. AC at 50+. Good will saves, bad xp progression. 4 rage per rest * 5 (barb) + 5 (extend rage) + (7 con mod) + 2 (rage mod) = 76 rage rounds per rest
- EDM Ranger with BOE (4 cleric / 26 Ranger). Really relies on Divine Shield for AC though

Hmm, I was spitballing as I have not actually play-tested it. (Probably should have considered charge as an attack action)

Either way, I was more envisioning that you were charging from close-in so the breaking stealth still occurred at same time of the strike.

But thanks for bringing it up; I guess I can make a quick level 1 stealth build to test charging. However, there should be many someones that can already tell me I am wrong ;)

All custom feats break stealth. That's why expose weakness was converted to a mode.

Swashbuckler 14 / Dervish 9 / Fighter 4 / Whirling Dervish 3

Active Dervish Dance, enter Stealth, and get the drop on the enemy, reducing their Strength by a substantial amount during the first flurry.

From then on it's practically smooth sailing.

As with most dual-wielding builds, enemies with high damage reduction are likely to be an issue.
Unbuffed stats, assuming +4 items.

Total AC = 46
28 Build
+2 Dexterity (item +4)
+4 Deflection AC
+4 Dodge AC
+4 Armor AC
+4 Natural AC

Total AB = 48
37 Build
+4 Weapon EB
+2 Dexterity (item +4)
+5 Dervish Dance

Total damage = 1d4 + 1d4 + 22 (27 avg x2/15-20)
1d4 Kukri
1d4 Deadly Defense
+4 Weapon EB
+1 Weapon Specialization
+6 Insightful Strike
+6 Combat Insight
+5 Dervish Dance
