Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Alright, many of you know Paws. Honestly, he's my favorite character that I have ever played. Unfortunately, my hair brained character is... pretty inviable beyond his present level. He has terrible AC and just gets face-stomped. His halberd +3 (+3 shielding) is now a deflection bonus, and that was the AC straw that broke the camel's back. In the next sections, it'll become apparent why I have a hard time with AC. Help me if you can. Haha!

Inspiration:
- Ghostwise barbarians sans the crazy psionic whatchamacallit. (Halflings)

Must-haves:
- Strongheart halfling
- Monkey Grip
- Martial Weap prof.
- Strength-based (Str or Con, if your build is barbarian-based). Main point: not a dex build.
- Good AC.
- noncaster or minimal arcane abilities
- large weapon or medium weapon/heavy shield.

Should Have:
- Cleave
- Able learner

May have:
- Some arcane. Bard or wizard, (Selah Shartess and Foggy McGee's memory stays with Paws. *sniffles*)

Dang... wish we had Tireless Rage as a background feat here. That'd be a great background for... well... a tireless hin that rages.

You need to choose if you want to put out massive DPS or Tank. Building a Halfling with massive reserves of HP and high AC while still putting out a fair amount of DPS is going to be tough without going dex based.

You could always go fighter/weapon master/frenzied berserker/shadow dancer that way you are still Strength based and instead of AC you use HIPS. Trust me when I say that this build is powerful enough to get you through DM events, Grinding, loot runs, and some bosses. You are still no bard or favored soul but that is fine unless you want to solo the balor in the greypeaks.

Edit: Might want to have someone move this to the proper subforum here http://bgtscc.net/viewforum.php?f=64

Ooooo, yeah. Rookie mistake on my part not going to the right sub. Womp-womp.
