Got a point plaxy, I'm a tad tired even after a few days off so I totally didn't think about EDM. Even though as you said it's basically asking for it. It basically ends up with Jann like stats... Which is dumb, and I'm still surprised Jann stats haven't been reworked considering they can qualify for EDM at level 4 if they want to...

So yeah, can go EDM route with the Ravager but I totally didn't put it down. Just rejiggle the starting stats and class distribution to grab it.

Tomekk's Quietly Maniacal Trickster

Race: Human
Alignment: Any Evil
Deity: Any
Background: Whatever, recommend Veteran for Fortitude saves

Starting Base Attributes:

STR - 11
DEX - 11
CON - 11
WIS - 13
INT - 16
CHA - 15

End Base Attributes:

STR - 11
DEX - 11
CON - 11
WIS - 15
INT - 19
CHA - 17

Levels:

1 - Rogue (Able Learner, Spellcasting Prodigy)
2 - "
3 - " (Stealthy)
4 - Wizard (+1 INT, Any School, Cat)
5 - "
6 - " (Silent Spell)
7 - "
8 - " (+1 INT)
9 - Arcane Trickster (Arcane Trickster Spellcasting Wizard, Practiced Spellcaster Wizard)
10 - "
11 - "
12 - " (Extend Spell)
13 - "
14 - "
15 - " (Combat Expertise or whatever)
16 - " (+1 CHA)
17 - "
18 - Wizard (Improved Combat Expertise or whatever)
19 - Assassin
20 - " (+1 CHA)
21 - " (Auto Silent Spell 0-3)
22 - "
23 - " (Auto Silent Spell 0-6)
24 - " (+1 WIS)
25 - " (Auto Still Spell 0-3)
26 - "
27 - Wizard (Auto Still Spell 0-6)
28 - "
29 - " (Auto Silent Spell 0-9)
30 - " (Auto Still Spell 0-9)

Skills:

Tumble 30 (max as much as possible)
UMD 33 (max as much as possible)
Spellcraft 33 (2 at level 2, 3 at level 3, then max as much as possible)
Hide 33 (max as much as possible)
Move Silent 33 (max as much as possible)

With tons of points to spare.

So as requested, more of an RP heavy build as is represented by the spread of stats and lack of min-max. Although you could certainly move some points about as you see fit. Now, here's the fun thing. Auto Still+Auto Silent 9. You can cast ANY spell by looking at stuff. That's just badass and means you're practically undetectable RP wise. I nabbed Stealthy just because more Hide MS as Spot/Listen gets pumped very high on the server and you will find it hard to HiPS around a lot of characters without every point squeezed in... Skill Focus Hide/MS might be good to take instead of combat expertises. If you don't feel the need for full auto still/silent, you can always grab some Epic spells or other stuff.

What I will say is. Good luck levelling this character up ;) It'll be a ball ache. But the end result should be very pleasing.

28 - " (+1 STR)

Skills:

Tumble 30 (max as much as possible)
UMD 13 (max as much as possible)

So this one is a long shot and more of an experiment than an actual build but... I like the look of it. So Ogre's a large race right? And Monkey Grip means you can dual wield dumb ass stuff right? So how about a dual wielding staff monk!? At least, I reckon this would work unless Obsidifail is prevalent or some such. Anyway, you max DEX since Philosophy Solidified will do all your damage... And then you just flail at things with your wall of wood. Magic 25 AB, PTFW and Greater Flurry... Welp, if it does work as planned all I can say is it could be hilarious. Chuck in NWN (or Warden as its known here) for some extra hilarity. What can I say, give it a go and tell us what happens? :P

If it doesn't work due to restrictions then just point it out here and I'll edit the build so it's a STR based monk :)

Regarding Build #1: I very much like the idea of Auto Still and Auto Silent, that's incredibly deadly in an RP situation... however, I really don't see the point of the wacky stat layout that barely qualifies for the spells and feats its supposed to take. When I said dual-wielding isn't an idea, I meant I actually wanted to be able to sneak attack something :P

Regarding Build #2: Strength would be much preferred... don't really see the appeal of whacking around with two staves when I could hit harder with one. :rolleyes:

But overall, they're a good base to work with. Thank you! :thumbs:

SO for the Epic Blade skill, I don't quite understand how 1,000 cuts is meant to work exactly, is it just another bleed attack or different?

@rapsam

Yeah, exactly what I said, right? >_> *edits swiftly*

@tomekk

Build 1: Well, all I can say is drop the WIS and swap it for DEX, and change out a few feats like Stealthy and such for TWF. I assumed it'd be a typical RP wizardy-esque build, hence wisdom, but come to think of it I suppose it makes more sense swapped around. Anyway, you'll want CHA and max bluff so you can convince people you're not the one casting spells, right?

Build 2: Here I was thinking dual staffs would be amusing :( I'll swap the build tomorrow at some point.

@TheShadowWithen

From what I gathered, it should stack separately to your IB bleed attacks, as the damage for those is physical, not magical... Though it's something to test. I reckon it's different stacks though. It should work in pretty much the same way just dealing magic damage instead.

Okay and any idea how long the bleed lasts for the Magical dmg stacks? because From reading it it does not seem to say which I'm curious about

Iirc, bleed last until it's healed.

So looking at an Azer Sacred Fist Mostly focused on damage output. Been trying to stack as much fire damage as I can cause that seems to make sense. Anyway, any suggestions on the build would be appreciated.

Fire damage is probably the most resisted damage on the server.

Things like Azer, Aura of Fire and Sacred Fist provide it as a character buff, ie they don't get resisted.
