Wierd Build idea

Cornbread · 12-29-2005, 08:59 PM

I was thinking about a weird high level build and was curious what you guys thought. I have always liked dwarves but wanted something different to goof around with. What I was thinking was making a Dwarven Wizard/dwarven defender. The idea behind this would be to get con to 21 for the damage absorbtion abilities, add the DD damage absorbtion and cast all the spells that do damage when y0ou get hit like the acid sheaths and death armor types. I am not to familiar with wizards, but they seem to be a pretty stable damage platform. You would also get stoneskin and other damage sponge spells as well as natural damage soaking. It woiuld be a pretty cool idea to cast with tensers transformation too. Anyways, just curious what you guys think of something like this and how playable it is.

Well, you'd have a long wait for DD. That needs a BAB of +7, which wizards don't reach until L14, so you couldn't take DD until L15. You could then take six levels of DD, giving you three attacks per round, which is all you would have, because attacks per round freeze at L20.

If you're playing the OC or SoU, ths is not worth doing, because you won't get very high. Only in HOTU can you reach epic levels where something like this might be useful.

I suggest getting Chewy's Novice to Epic character maker from the vault, and playing around with builds in there. That will give you some idea of the viability of the build.
