Jul 04, 2009 15:14:49 I started teaching my sister how to play DnD last week and she made a half elf wizard as I knew she would.....It's just something about all the girls I know and half elf wizards, I dunno.

Anyhow, we decided to keep it a small game just me her and two friends, for the following party.

Lawful Good Dwarf Cleric w/ Protection and Earth Domains
True Neutral Half Elf Wizard Spell Focus Necromancy
(My Character)Chaotic Good Human Fighter 2/Barbarian 2
Neutral Good Kobold Rogue

I didn't take character creation all that seriously with my guy but so far I like him, we decided to play the game out like a tv show, with the same characters tackling episodes, something akin to scooby doo. So as soon as I our DM likened it to scooby I ran off into the forrest to find a worg.(Got one now I call him Scooby and I carry around Jerky for Scooby snacks.)

Ok that was quite a tagent, my question is two fold.
How do I proceed with a somewhat silly build for this guy I am thinking of going 2 Ranger next.... also we are only playing core right now and I am the group tank.

We decided to allow extra books after the first few sessions so we are gonna add one for each person so given the choice between them which would you pick

Complete Champion or Complete Divine
Complete Mage or Arcane
I get Complete Warrior since thats the only one i can think of as we dont use Tome of Battle
and Complete Adventurer and Complete Scoundrel

P.S. thanks for reading my rant...lol

Jul 04, 2009 15:20:09 What exactly do you want to do? Kinda be like Shaggy and progress your "Scooby" animal companion? Be more of a tank? Also, what are your stats like?

Animal Companion is a secondary consideration as "Scooby" is just a joke and does nothing in actual combat.

Jul 04, 2009 15:42:59 A 2 level Ranger dip is great, it would give you the ability to TWF. You can wield a 2 handed weapon and use armor spikes as your offhand weapon.

Jul 04, 2009 16:19:39 If "Scooby" isn't a priority, then as Dandu suggested, a 2 level dip into Ranger would be quite advantageous. (Though if you wanted to just be hilarious, you could always dip 4 into ranger for another animal companion and have it be "scrappy doo")

Also - how high of a level do you plan on going?

Jul 04, 2009 16:34:49 As far as level goes It will just continue for as long as we keep playing. Probably a while as so far it is hilarious.

Also I am very very very tempted to get me some scrappy doo.

yeah my actual progression is Barbarian/Fighter/Fighter/Barbarian

But the skills are sweet I really wish i had diplomacy as a class skill though as I can't really do much talking.

You're a barbarian. Hack first, scratch your head while you try to read the surrender note after.

I think there is a fighter variant somewhere with diplomacy as class skill

Jul 04, 2009 19:03:17 Only one I know off the top of my head is the Zhentarim fighter sub levels. There's a Champions of Valor web enhancement that details everything. It's more focused on Intimidate, but the three sub levels DO have Diplomacy as a class skill.
