This has been brought up a few times. A missle specialist Kensai. With high strength, his Kensai bonuses, and, a decent missle weapon, he should be a master of casual disembowelment, at range.
I have put a lot of thought into this. I do not like how the Kensai is implemented in game, I have made my feelings known in other posts. The Kensai in SoA is a false Kensai, with no feeling of role play that is true to the Kensai's origin. So instead, I am going to make my own Kensai with his own story. Inspired by Mazzy, I am going to make a Halfling that is going to set out and try and get the tall folk to take the little folk seriously. After reading the discription of the Boomerang Dagger, and, how it was made by Halflings for Halflings, I decided daggers should be the primary weapon class. I also plan to use axes, mostly for Azure Edge and the other prized few throwers out there. (BTW, any good throwers in ToB axe wise? ) Strength should not be a problem. There are belts. I will have good saves. I have several fighter templates from BG1, of different races and slightly different characteristics. The one I have in mind is a Halfling by the name of Klessil Hedgecrawler, with simi decent stats. After completion of BG, he has 16/20/19/12/10/15 stats. He is reasonably brainy, has some strength, good dex, and great con. In BG1, he used Slings mostly, gaining 4 stars in them over time, as well as daggers for backup. (2 stars) He is also Lawfully Awfully Good. Planned skills will be Grandmastery in daggers, 2 stars in single weapon fightning style for those close up moments, and the rest of the skill points going into axes. Dual wielding is not much of an option, before some of you power gamer types say anything, as you can not dual wield throwing weapons. I suspect that he will become quite powerful, and, seeing as how subtly powerful daggers are to begin with, I expect to find out if they can really live up to full expectations. |
Sounds like a promising setup, Let Them Feel the WRATH of the LITTLE PEOPLE!?!??!
Cheers, Decurion |
I wonder Butterfingers if your halfling can stand up against my future soon to be famous GNOME BEZERKER!!!!!!!

Why fight when the little folks should work together?
Together, the kneecaps of Amn would feel our wrath! Midgets of Amn, unite! |
Going after knees with an archer? Seems less like a plot to kill and more like a plot to cripple everyone and make them see the world from your eye level, oh mighty midget kensai ;)

(SPOILER: Non-specific answer to the question, "BTW, any good throwers in ToB axe wise?")
Butterfingers: "BTW, any good throwers in ToB axe wise?" I don't recall the exact stats, but I *think* it can hit Demiliches. Korgan put it to very good use. ;) Butterfingers: "Midgets of Amn, unite!" MADNESS! This must be stopped! I call all Big Folk to SQUASH this insurrection now! Consider what ELSE this might inspire: "Noobers of Faerun, unite!" Besides, revolutions are passe. The most logical way to deal with Halflings' "height-envy" is to mass-produce stilts. And I'm not just saying this because just I invested 50,000 gp in Amn's stilt industry. I'm saying this because I don't want to be the only stupid-looking person striding through the Slums District on stilts. Did I mention stilts can put you out of reach of cutpurses?

i'll tell you what, i'd be scared of a halfling army
an entire race with shortman's disposition. all out to prove themselves and don't think they'll retreat. why do you think dwarves make such good fighters? halflings gotta look up to them |
Well, when requested Lemmy, My Missle Kensai can BECOME the missle, hurled by Minsc. In effect, becoming the deadliest thing in Amn, the Kensai Missle. Hurled at enemies, the damage is phenomenal. Think Daisy Cutter bombs, a flying projectile launching dozens of other projectiles while in flight.
Stilts are no longer an option as the Talls have secretly invested in Project Gopher. To many holes to cause to many injuries... I can't risk that. |
