| #1crazyroundeyeOct 14, 2009 5:12:12 | A friend of mine is starting up a 3.5 game and is using the malhavoc press books of experimental might series. One of the ideas that Cook threw into one of said books was that a feat per 3 levels was cool when the corebook just came out, but, now that there are so many feats available, going with a feat per level is far more interesting. My buddy agreed and low and behold, I now have a character who will have 20+ feats by 20th lvl... I read the "I may be tiny, but you're dead" thread and it totally inspired me to make a mini monster, one who has a huge chip on his shoulders when it comes to, as he calls 'em, biggers. My first 10 levels are going to be as follows, for feats coming from the malhavoc press books I've given a brief descrip of what the feat does: 1) Swashbuckler: feats: Dodge, Weapon finesse 2) Rogue: feat: Titan fighting 3) SB 2: feat: Ambush (book of roguish luck, adds 1d6 sneak attack) 4) SB 3: feat: Compensate for size (Book of Experimental Might) +1 dodge bonus and att bonus per size category diff. 5) R2: feat: wp focus (rapier) or in this campaign, wp focus: light blades 6) R3: Feat: Combat expertise 7) R4: Feat: underfoot combat 8) Blade bravo 1: feat: confound the big folk. 9) BB2: Feat: 2 weapon fighting. 10) BB3: feats: improved 2 weapon combat and Slashing strike(BORL, 2d6 of sneak attack become 2d8) are there any suggestions for changes? I am thinking about swapping out the 4th lvl of rogue for a level of shadowdancer to pick up hide in plain sight but uncanny dodge is so damn useful... thanks in advance |

| #3jgumbyrxOct 14, 2009 19:31:21 | It is my firm belief that "daring outlaw" (from CS) is manditory for any swash/rogue build -- and must be taken ASAP (i.e., 6th level). |

This. |
| #5crazyroundeyeOct 15, 2009 1:55:04 | Hmm, the dark template. this has merit. since we're using the level buy off from unearthed arcana this could work swimmingly. am i correct in believing that with a 18 dex a dark whisper gnome has a 21 hide skill and a 15 move silently? That's retarded. it might even get the character banned from the campaign. may have to buy the st some pie and high quality booze, get him drunk and happy, then get him to sign off on it... Also, the daring outlaw feat is great, muchos gracias, with the ambush feat it looks like i can qualify for it by lvl 4, is this correct? |
