Grimdurr grew up on the streets. His survival skills served him well and he quickly discovered the comfort of the blade in his hands. The half-orc’s skill caught the eye of the city guard, and he now patrols the less desirable areas of the city with surprising zeal.

Grimdurr’s deep-set, green eyes are perpetually shadowed by his large, sloping brow. His black hair hangs in short dreadlocks, appearing almost as a lion’s mane. While the half-orc is crude, he is no fool. He understands his place in society and, like anyone else, seeks to advance his own fortune. (I’m thinking of a seedier, less conscience-driven, Mad Martigan-style fighter… if that helps.)

Yay, a fighter!

Hope you don't mind, but I had some input. Take it or leave it, as you like.

- I think you've got your Touch and Flatfooted wrong. Touch should be 13 (10 + 2 Dex + 1 Deflection), and Flatfooted shoulder be 16 (10 + 5 Armor + 1 Deflection).

- I noticed you grabbed a bastard sword, but not Exotic Wpn Proficiency with it. Interesting. Did you choose it on the offchance that you'll need to use it one-handed, with a -4 penalty? Otherwise a straight Greatsword would probably suit a two-handed style better (or the Exotic Feat if you plan to use it one-handed on occasion, and a shield to bump up your AC in such instances.)

- On the subject of feats... Alertness? It's a unique choice, just haven't seen anybody pick that one in a while. It's unusual to see a heavy hitter without Power Attack, too (with your +10 to hit, it might be handy in the future). But on the other hand, seeing something different is kind of a nice change.

It's a neat, more agile build. And it'll be nice to have an inside man with the guard again. Rock on.

(Also, Mad Martigan rules. Too bad we can't find you in a hanging cage, boasting about being the greatest swordsman that ever lived )

Perhaps he picked it as a slightly less conspicuous weapon than a huge, honkin' Greatsword.

...Oh, right. I forgot we're thieves, and, uh, sneaky...

Don't get me wrong, I like Bastard swords, but they're still pretty big. If you're using one, why not be able to do it one-handed? *shrug*

Hmm. A city guardsman. This could work perfectly with the plans Barrett and Lance have going. Hope you're ambitious!

I thought the alertness feat was a good pick. He is a guard after all.

I saw it and I thought it was nice, 'cause I tend to give the majority of the guards alertness as we..

Deekin's Inner Optimizer on seeing someone take alertness.

Thanks.

I’d rather have a better chance to hit, than do a butt-load of damage if I hit. Besides, this character still does ¾ butt-load damage.

Yes! lol

In a nutshell.

Effect… and more damage.

[Deekin]

Effect… and more damage.

No, More Damage would be taking a level in Exotic Weapon Master to get Uncanny Blow, while using Leap attack and Shock trooper to power attack for +24 damage without any loss in accuracy.

oh brother, I'm not coming back here. Deekin's talking crazy again and it's scaring me


EDIT: as an aside, Lenny had alertness, but I don't think that's what killed him. Critical hits with Shocking Grasp tend to do that to a person, whether or not they can see or hear it coming.

Crud, I'm Sorry. It's just that Third Ed was desinged so that there would be good feats and bad feats. Alertness and Toughness are bad feats, which is why I like the Fourth Ed ones more-

Toughness
Tier: Heroic
Benefit: When you take this feat, you gain additional hit points equal to your level + 3. You also gain 1 additional hit point every time you gain a level.

Alertness
Tier: Heroic
Benefit: You don’t grant enemies combat advantage in surprise rounds.
You also gain a +2 feat bonus to Perception checks.

[Badasterysk]

Level up (Rogue)-

Additional hit points: 6
Attack Bonus: +1
Saves: +1 Refl
Class Abilities: Evasion
Skills (8 ranks):
-Jump 1 rank
-Knowledge (Local) 2 ranks
-Sense Motive 3 ranks
-Spot 1 rank
-Tumble 1 rank
Feat: Iron Will
Character Points (3500):
exchange potion of Mirror Image for potion of Invisibility (as I have discovered a potion of Mirror Image cannot be crafted)
-Eyes of the Eagle (+5 spot checks)- 2,500
-Dust of Tracelessness 250
-Potion of Displacement 750

NOTE: I haven't made these adjustments to the actual character yet.

Any speciffic reason you're getting 10 skill points rather than 8? Let me know, if not, than make sure you didn't make the same mistake with your first batch of skills or let me know if we need to go back and count them up.

The reason being that I'm a moron. Editing…

Let me know, if not, than make sure you didn't make the same mistake with your first batch of skills or let me know if we need to go back and count them up.

Double checked, and first batch of skills are accurate.

Finally got around to changing character for level up (response #12).
