Harper Agent?

I know it's likely one of the worst PrCs available, but I really love the concept.
However, I'm not sure how to make a playable/reasonable build out of it. I wanted something versatile, so perhaps bard/HA? Bard/HA/rogue? I don't know.

Ah! I haven't played here for ages, so it would be really nice to have some input about the new feats too, if there's any useful for this build.

If you like the Harper Agent PRC for roleplay then take it, however it does not give you anything mechanically

Bard23/HA4/Rogue3 should work nicely. STR based. In this build HA would allow you to max spot and use rogue to pixk up some rogue skills ( disable device, open lock )

That seems like a good one. I have a couple questions, though:

I know this will be a slightly feat-starved build, right? I'll have to spend two on the pre-requisites for HA. Are there any BG-exclusive/new feats I should consider taking? Or should I just go with the classic STR-based bard build feats?

This is not a complaint, but seeing nearly all classes went through improvements, is there any chance HA will go through some changes in a near future?

Harper Agent is one of PRCs that are worked for improvements. Its not a high priority though, since many critical issues need to be fixed first

Harper agent gives appraise and hide move silently as skills. The appraise is nice if you are making a merchant/trader type, and the hide/ms is nice for moving into PRCs that require it, like whirling dervish or divine seeker.

Also, Harper agent gives 4/5 spell progression, which can be nice when not power building. (since the racial favored classes seem to encourage, not discourage, powerbuilding and dips).

We are at least two with the class!

We're also a really cool guild!

Those with the HA class get to do the dishes after every meeting. We could use a third to clean the bathroom.

  • We do all tasks as if part of a musical
    We do it in Spanish Amnian (?)

Actually I think we have 3 or 4 HA's now! Which means what you are saying is you don't do the dishes....

....which is true!
