Half Orc Berserker

Hello again,

Wanted to get on the Orc bandwagon and make a dumb max strength berserker that can one hand large weapons (greataxe, Warmace)

Do evil toons start in the underdark?

Orcs can play on the surface. Be sure to read the guidelines about them in the Nexus.

On another note, I really would like to urge you to dump barbarian for fighter since it is far more powerful and easy to play. You might want to consider F/FB/WoD.

Yeah would have to agree with you on the fighter instead of barb, have rebuilt accordingly.

I like warrior of darkness also

It would be best if you picked more feats that gave you better attacks and damage: http://nwn2db.com/build/?250716

Supreme Power Attack is not really worth going to FB 10, generally it's best to stop at 5. This also allows you to do something like F12/WoD10/FB5/R3 to gain evasion/expose weakness and tumble... or you could go NW9/Bodyguard 3 for a movement increase to avoid the XP penalty. You could also just have 3 levels of barbarian in there for a few extra (weaker) rages. In any case, I would go even F14/WoD10/FB6 before your current split as you gain extra feats and damage from darkling weapon that are worth far more than SPA.

Regarding feats, taking able learner earlier will not greatly impact your leveling, but will allow you to do better with your skill allocation. I would take it at 1st level with Luck of Hero's if you can (I forget, you may not be able to with the Fighter feat list, if that's the case I would take it at level 3). I would also lose armor skin, epic prowess and a couple of great strengths in favor of getting greater/epic weapon focus and greater/epic weapon specialization.

Good luck, whatever you decide! :D

FB10 to get 'Tireless Frenzy' so no fatigue penalty when Frenzy finishes I think is worth the 10 levels no?

As well as greater frenzy at lvl 8 which is +10 Str instead of +6! which equates to +5 attack and damage instead of +3. And and extra Frenzy at 3, 6 and 9.

Blind fight is free at lvl 1 WoD

Also you don't think 'extend rage' is worth a feat? extends Frenzy by 5 rounds and that is were I'm getting a big boost to damage and attack from the increased strength. Usually +3 +CON mod so 6 rounds. 1 extend rage basically doubles duration.

Yeah the rogue 3 is probably not a good option. Thought I called that out, but apparently not... :oops:

Can anyone clarify any changes to Frenzied Berserker that this server has?

Tireless Frenzy is a feat listed on the nwn2db webste for lvl 10 FB but I haven't seen it in the class description in game on BGTSCC

Are you sure that wasn't something implemented by kaedrin? If so that may be your issue. FB is stock nwn2 on this server (other than frenzy activates instantly and access to a lore skill). I thought there was something off about your tireless frenzy comment, but looking at the class changes confirms this server does not grant.

Ah yeah just found that was a Kaedrin thing, that surely does eliminate FB beyond lvl 7 this then
