wonderboy06 12-08-05, 10:06 PM	Ok I have a 8th lvl half-orc Barb. and I'm not sure what direction I should take him in and what to do with him. Right now he's a hulk but I dont know how to optimize him and I thought I'd ask those wiser than myself. str: 28, dex: 16, con: 12, int: 8, wis: 10, cha: 6 Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave
X-Codes 12-08-05, 10:09 PM	Buy a potion of DM Intervention and switch those Dex and Con scores around, my god man! What skills do you have? What books are allowed? We need more info.
wonderboy06 12-08-05, 10:43 PM	Hahaha, yeah I know, it what my first character so I didnt know what I was doing when I made him. climb +18, intimidate +9, and wilderness lore +9 I have access to all core books, oriental, and copleat adventurer
PhoenixInferno 12-08-05, 10:57 PM	Wilderness Lore? Are you playing 3.0?
wonderboy06 12-08-05, 11:03 PM	Yeah, my group and I spent a ton of money on 3.0 stuff when it came out, just to find out that its broken, but I just cant bring myself to replacing all those books.
I_Cant_Think_Of_A_Name 12-09-05, 01:04 AM	How did you get that much strength? :confused:
X-Codes 12-09-05, 01:26 AM	How did you get that much strength? :confused: 18 + 2 Racial + 2 Level + 6 Enhancement = 28 Your skills and feats are holding you out of the top-tier PrC's I think... It will take about 4 more levels to get the entry requirements for you, but Menacing Brute from Races of Destiny might be a worthwile look (if you can get your hands on it =P). Throw in a feat that gives you Frightful Presence and you can scare away enemies for about 5 rounds with a look.
Anor 12-09-05, 03:13 AM	It's too bad the Frenzied Berserker requires so many feats, that are more or less useless (Intimidating Rage, Destructive Rage) but if you want a kick-ass PrC this is the one to go for. I think you should take a look at Tribal Protector from Sword and Fist, it's a really nice PrC that gives you an extra attack for free. It's a 3.0 PrC but I dont think it has been converted yet so go ahead. My Barbarian got Tireless to shake the fatigued state after the Rage or Frenzy which is good. But probably your best bet to increase the damage output is to get a hold of Leap Attack and Battle Jump. These can be made very nasty in combination with a charge.
I_Cant_Think_Of_A_Name 12-09-05, 08:44 AM	Where does the enchancement bonus come from though?
wonderboy06 12-09-05, 09:30 AM	Belt of Giant Strength...Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions, keep 'em comeing.
wonderboy06 12-09-05, 06:48 PM	:bump: shameless bump
ninjarabbit 12-09-05, 07:07 PM	The character looks fine just try to do something to improve your will save.
TinManFan 12-09-05, 07:15 PM	There's this feat in Champions of Ruin that after you drop someone, you can rip off a trophy as a free action. That's a pre-req for the feat that if anyone sees you do that, you get a free Intimidate check on them. If they fail, they're afraid or shaken, can't remember which.
wonderboy06 12-09-05, 07:21 PM	That is effing awsome, I wish I could check it out (dont have the book) :banghead:
TinManFan 12-10-05, 10:25 AM	Snatch Trophy had no pre-reqs, and the second one has Snatch Trophy as the pre-req.
wonderboy06 12-10-05, 07:10 PM	:evillaugh Excellent. I saw someone mention Frightful Pressance, I really like the idea, but how would one obtain frightful pressance? Is there a feat or class that I would need? I can just see it now Frightful Pressance coupled with both Snatch Trophy feats :OMG! :gah: :surrender
