May 25, 2009 8:51:32 The Cleric

Greetings all. I’m a pretty average D&D player so my knowledge on many of the feats and spells and such are limited. But here it goes.

Are any of you familiar with the Cleric from the movie "Equilibrium?" Well, I wish to make one of those. We were going to start out at about level 3 so I’m basically asking for a leveling guide for the Gunkata. My only ideas for it is pretty basic I guess. Starting with Scout and going into fighter for all the feats that I’ll require for Melee range gun fighting; Mobility and Spring attack and Close combat shots and the like. Though, there will be no guns I was thinking of using repeating cross bows. Anyone able to help?

Honorably,
Shinefeather

May 25, 2009 9:11:50 Crossbow fighting is pretty feat intensive and so is dual wielding. Do Scouts get proficiency in the hand crossbow? If so, hand crossbow focus is a given.

You know I didn't even check whether or not he was. I left my book at my DM's place :S

May 25, 2009 9:24:32 I'll have to get Exotic Weapon Prof (Repeating Crossbow) then :S Another feat. This char is going to be hard to make.

May 25, 2009 9:30:37 im not sure there is any class anywhere that gets proficiency with that weapon :D

i suggest exotic weapon master(complete warrior). ranged disarm is cool.

That being said, above is pre-ToB, so you can probably replace a large chunk with ToB classes. Go less for getting all of TWF, more for Mongooses

May 25, 2009 13:15:04 Okay, some thoughts and notes:

You only need TWF as ITWF can be bought for 10k in the form Gloves of the Balanced Hand.

Crossbow specialization is very feat intensive. Very very. We're basically going to need to build you as a swift hunter, likely with a fighter dip, so go take a look at the swift hunter's handbook.

Are psionics allowed? Or some way of getting Hustle?

Alternatively, can we get the travel devotion?

Mmmm I seem to remember guns listed in the DMG, theres also a feat in D20 modern I somewhat remember, I believe its called "Exotic Weapon Proficincy Firearms" which if I remember correctly, grants the use of all firearms from pistols to blunderbuss type rifles.

May 25, 2009 20:10:28 In that case, perhaps you could use the iron kingdoms rules for handguns and their ilk. They're fun but not very strong.

May 26, 2009 3:25:28 Whether or not the game OP is playing at has handguns, and if they're any good, we know not. Of course, if there are guns, which are decent, accessible and not too expensive, picking them is recommended. Doesn't really matter for majority of feats, except that he becomes ineligible for crossbow-specific feats.
