Scummer D&D for newbies!

[Andrius]

TO DO:

-Buy the Cart or not
-Discuss battle strategy and/or marching order
-Do I really need Thieves' Tools

[Dunnstral]

I changed my class from paladin to barbarian; I hope this doesn't UPSET anybody

edit: and this class starts with less gold so I now have 2 gp and hide armor and no manacles

I like this better though, plays better to my strengths and I can get rid of useless stats like intelligence, wisdom and charisma

[Firebringer]

You better be trolling.

[Dunnstral]

No fire

I am stronger than ever before

i'm shook

also andrius i'm not really sure about marching formation - i'm thinking we go diamond shaped? it's kind of tough though when not everyone has their general characters done but dunn stands in front, Fire and Growlithe handle the flanks, i probably take the back, and the fragile people can be in the middle?

also do you think i should stick to power attack as my feat or should i go for combat reflexes instead? tough choice tbh

r i p

look at my character sheet tho I'm stacked it's ok

I was told that power attack isn't good early so you can always get it later

as for combat reflexes I took it myself and it's supposedly good with ranged; it's based on dex though so you'd -only- get 1 additional attack of opportunity

yeah that's my conundrum

i'm using a reach weapon too so more AoOs are cool but my character is so stretched thin in trying to be decent at everything idk if i can afford the dex to make it useful

edit: wait shit i dont even have a base attack bonus yet i can't even use power attack LMAO... my next feat comes at level 3 though so

[Andrius]

I am ok with the switch to Barbarian.
Thought of a good idea for a paladin while I was gone.

My Spot check is actually pretty crap (only +2) but I can still move around undetected fairly well (Hide and Move Silent are +7) so those are nice to have. I'm otherwise fairly flexible.
The more I think about combat the less I like the Rogue idea.

[FakeGod]

dw

rogue class is less about combat and more about having massive number of skill points

[Andrius]

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I can do a crapton of stuff.
Just trying to figure out how to be more useful.
And being dead isn't useful.

[FakeGod]

I've seen many successful rogue players simply hide in a bush and pretend to be dead in combat.

[Andrius]

...how does that help the party.

It helps the party by making sure I stay alive.

I like it.

[Hanasawa]

Newbies! That's tota--

Wait...never mind... Have fun! D&D is a magical adventure...literally!

[Dunnstral]

Firebringer you can armor up growlithe but it costs double human armor price
also it doesn't have to adhere to druid regulations

Also I recommend doing that and armoring up growlithe, possibly with cheap leather or hide (and you can change to leather yourself?)

[Firebringer]

Hmmmmm

[FakeGod]

Alright, folks. We will be playing on 10 AM EST on this Sunday. See you then!

Spoiler: It's called roleplaying!

[gigabyteTroubadour]

[Firebringer]

We must grind all the levels without giga

I am likely not going to stay in for this-- I have a minor commitment that might make me less available for the next month.
I'll come to decision by today. Sorry.
