Comments Only wrote:I have been thinking about some possible builds to do, builds that round out into something in the early epics. It is a long road to reach level 30, especially if you spin off to create new characters at every whim, and for a while I have been thinking of rolling a Ranger Stormlord. Something that could work just fine as a "Ranger 12/Stormlord 10" and finish up "Ranger 20/Stormlord 10"

For example:

A Half-Orc

Ability scores:

Code: Select all

STR: 18 + 7 (Ability increases) + 5 (Great Strength) = 30
DEX: 14
CON: 14 +1 (BGTSCC custom change)
INT: 10
WIS: 14
CHA: 6

///// I am thinking of swapping INT and CHA though... But that might be awkward with stormlord's number of skill points. Funny how pure ranger would not really care for -2 int penalty! I guess it explains Drizzt so much...

Skills:
Max=> Spot, Survival, Heal, rest goes into lore skills, and maybe either diplomacy or intimidate. Must have at least 4 ranks in Spellcraft. (Might just go 5 or 10, or 15. Depends.)

Feats:

Code: Select all

Level 1: Able Learner
Level 3: Weapon Focus (Spear)
Level 6: Northlander Hewing
Level 9: Monkey Grip
Level 12: Great Fortitude
Level 15: Practised Spellcaster (Ranger)
Level 18: Brutal Throw
Level 21: Great Strength I
Level 23: Great Strength II
Level 25: Great Strength III
Level 27: Great Strength IV
Level 29: Great Strength V

As for one handed damage, with Northlander Hewing on:

Code: Select all

10 (Spear) 
+ 4 (EB) 
+ 10 (Strength) 
+ 14 (Northlander Hewing) 
+ 1d8 (Blades of Fire) 
+ 1d8 (Shock Weapon) 
+ 1d8 (Sonic Weapon) 
+ 3d6 (Extended Storm Avatar) 
= 62~ 
(Limited to three attacks per round)

Then throwing damage:

Code: Select all

1d4 (Mundane 7 gp stack of darts)
+10 (Strength)
+ 1d8 (Shock Weapon) 
+ 1d8 (Sonic Weapon)
= 21.5~
(43~ with manyshot) 

Spellbook:

Code: Select all

Level 1, 4 slots: Blades of Fire <><><>, Embrace the Wild <> 
Level 2, 4 slots: Cat's Grace <>,  Halo of Sand <>, Bear's Endurance <>, Curse of Impending Blades <> 
Level 3, 3 slots: Skin of the Cactus <>, Aid <>, Mass Curse of Impending Blades<> 
Level 4, 3 slots: Freedom of Movement <>, Lesser Aura of Cold <><>

Any thoughts? Any comments? What creatures would be worthy enough to be considered favored enemies by a Talassan?

(Rangers come with free shield proficiency.)

Comments Only wrote:On this server you can only have 7 favored enemies, at levels 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, as far as I know. If you pick Undead, Giants, Outsiders, you pretty much have covered most of the epic foes you can fight.

Animal Companion feats are good to have. Just don't pick the badger, it is the worst animal companion a Ranger could pick due to the custom ranger spells on the server. (Buff it up and it will be a beast.)

As for Dinosaur companion, it would be. It is the best animal companion after all, but unfortunately or luckily it is not enabled on this server.
