something else bad happened...
it seems that the Epic Prowess did not show up when I created this build using the longbow. I am very saddened by this fact. Maybe it has something to do with it being a longbow (ranged) instead of a close up weapon. Regardless, I have to write this character down as a failure with the bow for the time being. At least she seems to be strong enough to wail away on her foes with a sword in the later levels. Though I have to admit, taking her through Levels One through Six as well as the Trollbark and the Tradeways shall be interesting - not to mention all those nasty, icky creatures in the Waterdeep Sewer System. I think it's time I visited The Metal Mage's Realm and spend a few million on arrows down there... I replaced the Epic Prowess with something else... Great Dexterity I. This was in the hopes of getting Great Dexterity II somehow for the last little bit...

..and I managed to snag Great Dexterity II to increase the bow's accuracy slightly. as well, instead of the final Favoured Enemy, I took Epic Toughness for an additional 20 HP. maybe I should have gone with two more Great Strengths (V and VI), but such is. The character is technically a "failure" for the lower levels of the Undermountain, but is great support for other characters AND now has scroll capability. With light enough armor, I even get free dual wielding - fun with those Sahaugin Longswords...

No matter the battle, a lesson must be won. In the end, the path shall fade into nothingness for the one walking it, but may go on for eternity for those whom choose to follow. One must know their own footsteps before taking that first step, or instead of choosing your battles, your battles will choose you. Last edited by Mozenwrathe; 03-02-2008 at 12:15 PM.
