Unfortunatlly this build doesnt use bg's smite or turndead abillites or darkblessing



any comments on how to immprove/alter this build would be nice There is such a niche for this character. I don't think I'd want to improve him. There's a special beauty to him just the way he is.

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! Nice concept. I like it. Couple things I'll suggest/point out:

1) Your CHA modifier is -1 (CHA 8 ), so you'll get a penalty on all your saves. This is a quirk of the BG's Dark Blessing feat (I've checked it out and it actually does work this way), so that might be something to keep in mind.

2) You end with 25 STR. I might consider dropping Thundering (it only works when you crit, so it's of limited utility) and replacing it with a third GRT STR feat. This will result in +1 to AB and damage. Also, I'd consider taking a 25th level of BG (for the extra 1d6 sneak) instead of 16th Barb level and ending up with Barb 15/BG 25. Just a thought.

It's rogue, dammit, ROGUE!!! 25th level BG also gives an extra epic feat so defnitely worth considering I'd think

edit: doesn't the Vrok get bonuses every 5 levels as well so thats another reason to take BG to 25

Aye, good catch, my Queen. Forgot to mention that.

quick, too quick for what I edited in
all in all I think 25th is a clincher level for BG

Teaching men a lesson in combat etiquette. No! You guys are way off base. I vehemently disagree with all of your suggestions/improvements. He is best just the way he is, full of flaws and short of greatness. It is this very essence which makes him rise above all the other garden variety builds(no pun intended) out there. He must remain just the way he is, abused, misbegotten, forlorn little fritter who eats worms when the rest of us eat caviar.

He gets my vote for build of the week.

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! he certainly deserves a commerative portrait, preferably of him slaughtering innocents with his fishing rod

If some gifted guild member actually does this, please make it high-res, I want it for my desktop barb1-exotic weapon prof.

bg25-str+1 epic prowess

Skill focus(intimiadate) is for the terrifying rages dc which might be more useful then thundering rage.

Terrifying rage paralyzes for 1d3 rounds and while a monster is paralyzed there left wide open for sneak attacks. Umm.. I thought that a bastard was a Large weapon. I never thought a gnome could use one? or is it just a halfpint that cannnot! (gnome being no higher than the average kneecap).

Nice idea! bastard sword is medium so gnomes/halflings use it two handed what are the saves? Already takin in account the -1 from CHA the saves should be:

For 28
Ref 14
Will 13 (+2 vs mind affecting spells) (+3 when raging)

Cha gear will improve your saves

Cheers,
Kail

Is this a throwaway line or is there really a build of the week?

If not, there should be.
