2H Sword girl build

[lavd]

Not very popular idea, nerveless what can be done? Haven't played for a while

Game-play: Hard swings with cleave, probably power attack, no shield

Thoughts:
- FB for Supreme cleave and Advanced Power Attack
- Cler/BG for Divine Might
- Bard+RDD+Aasimar to get to EDM
- start with 16 12 14 10 10 18

[lavd]

Ah no RDD, so no need to try EDM, or there is some other class to add Char?
Maybe whole Char line would not work

[Steve]

Fighter 12 / Blackguard 3 / Frenzied Berzerker 5 (10) / Warrior of Darkness 10 (5). Make sure you get UMD 13 so the build can use wands for AC boost.

What about feats?
One Weapon https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=One_Weapon?
Any other BG feats? Armor specialization or something.

What about the light side: Cler 3/Anointed Knight 10 ? plus 2 extra feats. Uncanny dodge helpful?
Like this http://nwn2db.com/build/?325903
With room for some BG feats

[lavd]

Or go DR route? like this http://nwn2db.com/build/?325906
With Anointed Knight 3/- plus full fighter line epic DR up to 12/-

[Zkenic]

I don't think the 3 dr from AK stacks with anything, though don't quote me on that.

[Valefort]

Those ones stack.

All the build options presented will work, though they could be tweaked for more power and some don’t conform to BGTSCC rules (like 3b20).

It all really depends on what role-play you’re looking for, since the builds vary statistically and such. If you choose a particular avenue of RP and build, then it’s easier to make final adjustments.

[lavd]

That's exactly what I am looking for - advice with BG specific tweaks.
Maybe it is just too simplistic how I described RP part (girl with Greatsword).
Would rather not go Evil as it will be hard to RP for me. Chaotic or Lawful can do. Can sacrifice saves and Ab but swap BG with something.
I don'rt think any of what I posted so far will survive.

[lavd]

Did anyone use One Weapon https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=One_Weapon?
Is it at all useful?
Maybe other Greatsword single weapon feats?

[Theodore01]

It's great. If you don't want to use a shield - you need all the ac you can get.

Or use that monkeygrip towershield (+7ac) if needed.

[lavd]

That's what the whole challenge is about - shield out of the question

Those I posted I tried and no-go - too hard: low AB so can't use Power attack thus lower damage, low AC

Try Bard4/Fb5/Assassin8/F13
Some good AB from Bard (heroism +2 and song +2dmg)
Fighter get's focus and heavy armor specialization to lower penalties and add AC
And One weapon adds 1 AC plus funny combat animations

She is 11lvl, not sure if survives to 20, ppl recover dead body often

Maybe change 5-13 fighter to Bard to get Bard14 spells and go for Mithral fullplate medium armor
but are the AB Bard feats like Strong heart and Battle dancer available on BG?

[Theodore01]

no "Bard feats like Strong heart and Battle dancer available on BG?"
and no Epic Heavy Armor Optimization either.



A simple Human Bard26, F4 works well enough.

With STR28+4 and a manticore greatsword he does d12+4+d6+7inspire+16str =31-45+12IPA= 43-57 +11nh = 54-68

[zhazz]

// Edit: Didn't notice the Sword restriction. So I guess this one isn't valid. Whoops!


Race: Wood Elf
Classes: Fighter 12 / Duelist 10 / Frenzied Berserker 5 / Whirling Dervish 3
Attributes: 26 STR (30), 17 DEX (20)

Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 + 15 STR + 6 EWS + 2 MWM:P + 10 NH + 20 IPA = 60 - 77

Add in Expose Weakness for +5 damage per round.
Flourish adds an additional 2d6 damage once every 2 rounds.

Use a Bearskin Armor Mithral Breastplate for good defenses.
UMD 13 adds wands into the mix for even more options / damage.
Parry 30 adds +5 free Dellection AC.

[lavd]

@Theodore01 doubt it is good to use IPA as it will lower AB too bad. What Bard26, F4 AB ends up at?
Mirror image and other bard spells surely help a lot with protection. Assassin with improve invis should do the same.

Though Practiced spellcaster (Assassin) doesn't seem to work. Maybe worth adding to https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title ... pellcaster



@zhazz is it not going to work with greatsword? wasted feat Weapon finesse to get Duelist
What's 2 MWM:P + 10 NH?
What about AB?
Why not just 7 Duelist for Elaborate parry? Build has to int anyway and can't wear armor
Whirling Dervish for Evasion?
