PTWF/EDM build that I do not intend to roll up

Unread post by Charraj »

For no good reason, behold: http://nwn2db.com/build/?309576

Hits for like 50-60 damage on average, crits for about 100. Garbage AC, I am not saying this build is actually good. I am just tickled by the idea of having EDM damage apply to 12 attacks per round.

Has this been done before?

I played a Wood Elf Ranger/Cleric, but then the magic domain lost Mage Armor so switched it to an Aasimar Ranger/Paladin. AC was not garbage by the way! I was able to buff it to ~49 without Divine Shield by utilizing a mixture of Combat Expertise, Shield, IMA, etc. The AC isn't "good" by any means and is highly reliant on being able to always have Shield up, but it can be made to work. The bigger frustration (for me, ymmv) was the constant switching out of equipment, juggling spell list every time you rest. I had to wear a +3 WIS item to have 14 WIS due to MAD and then I needed to wear multiple bonus spell slot items so I could have Barkskin, Halo, Cats Grace and all the other Ranger buffs up. plus since if you use items for bonus spells it messes you up on having multiple castings and I couldn't afford extend spell I pretty much had to rest every 30 minutes.

All in all it's actually quite a fun build to play, but it is a late bloomer and to be quite honest I'm not sure that EDM does any more damage per round than a STR Ranger using Northlander Hewing... So it's a fun build for someone like me that wants to play something that it is highly unlikely anyone else is going to play, but it's not really giving you anything amazing that you can't get via other means that are less costly to the character as a whole.

I've thought up the build before, but with the more restrictive requirement of also getting WM crit multiplier.
