Okay another thoughts I have had;
1. Dex on a fighter. Besides some skills and feats, it isn't that necessary if you are using medium or large weapons. Dodge and mobility come to mind, along with some rogue skills that require higher dex, but then the armor you wear can limit how much is added to those skills (full plate only gives 1 bonus of dex vs scale with 4 dex bonus you can have). So, unless you are going for a finess fighter (light weapons and possibly duel welding) dex isn't as important as the old rules.
2. Having high intel on my fighter helps out a lot. I can get improved disarm and more points on level up. Having high lore, discipline, healing, and taunt help. So much for the dumb grunt
3. Weapon speed. I don't see that big of a diffrence between using a great axe vs using a dagger. The dagger user should have been like a blender on crack, but per damage over time I'm not noticing it that much. Maybe it gets better later on, but I can still interupt spell casters with my knock-down and 2-handed sword very well, seems that there should have been a bit more notice on weapon speeds.
4. Is there an AC cap? I swear at level 5 and 6 I could put on scale male +1 and full plate and would have an AC of 19. The scale was lighter and had more dex bonus, the plate looked cooler [img]smile.gif[/img] I noticed that at level 7 the AC went up. Hmmm....kinda makes you think that taking the scale for weight and dex bonus if you want may not be a bad thing at lower levels. I noticed I could raise my AC with potions though, but still couldn't with my armor at the lower levels.
5. How much exp does henchmen/women take?
6. I miss the beserker of old ADnD 2nd edition. The barbarian sounds fun, but the lack of feats and the so so barb rage isn't that appealing. Plus it would take forever to make a duel-welding dwarf barb [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm sure people miss like the undead hunter and some of the other sub-classes too.
Have a great weekened! Back to adventuring!
