11-29-03, 07:29 PM Hi guys, just looking for some intelligent critiques on my build including but not limited to:Coolness Factor, Viability etc...

Dwarven Cleric of Moradin
Domains:Earth and Metal

Str:14
Dex:13
Con:14
Int:10
Wis:15
Cha:6

This a a 25 point buy system with all stat increases going to Wisdom.(The racial adjustements are already included)

Feats:
1:Improved Unarmed Strike
3:Improved Grapple
6:Martial Weapon Proficiency(Armor Spikes)
9:Extend Spell
12:Persistent Spell
15:???
18:???
So basically the premise is this little fellar uses spells like Divine Favour, Divine Power, Righteous Might(the usual boring selection but it works for this build too) and thrown in Iron Body at higher levels.
His Grapple roll would be 1d20+BAB(which would be 1/level)+8(4 for feat and 4 for size)+4(if you can get ring of earthen grasp in Dragon 314)+ your new and improved strength bonus of +9.

Simplified version:Grapple is 1d20+BAB+21
So you just grab all those pesky buggers and shake shake shake.

What do you think...I know it sounds like the little dude from the Drizzt novels and that is where I took my inspiration

critiques are welcome but remember the fun factor!!!!!

Interesting build though.

11-30-03, 05:28 PM couldn't the armor spikes be made out of different metals...silver, cold iron, adamantite that sort of thing...then with the right enchantments I think you could dance around damn near any dammage resistance :)

12-01-03, 01:51 PM yup..it specifically states in the PHB that you can seperately enchant your spikes just as you would a weapon.As well you can still enchant your armour. So yes you could dance around just about anything.

12-01-03, 02:04 PM I don't think that means you can have one adamantine spike, one alchemical silver spike, one cold iron spike, etc...

You treat armor spikes as one weapon, which can be enchanted separately from the armor it's attached to. You can't make the spikes of a morningstar out of different materials either.

Of course, you COULD have each of your spiked gauntlets made out of a different material than your armor spikes. A Cold Iron Holy Axiomatic Spiked Gauntlet paired an Adamantine Unholy Spiked Gauntlet and Alchemical Silver Anarchic Armor Spikes would be awesome for a neutral character. ;)
