What do you think of this kit?

[Black Baron]

Stormfighter of Talos.

Each diety has its own priesthood that preaches in temples and its own fighters that fight the heretics.
Each diety has its own "crack troops" as well.
Trained from birth to carry holy destruction for the greater glory of Talos, stormfighters are grim and uncompromising people. Their uncharismatic behaviour makes them unsuitable for preaching in the temple, so
they promote the glory of Talos in the front lines of battle, or near temple of lathander where they fight its followers.
In order to achieve greater fighting abilities, stormfighters neglect somehow their physical training and limit themselves to mace as their weapon of choice.

Advantages:
Priest of talos.
+1 attack at levels 15 and 25.
+1 to thaco each 5 levels.

Disadvantages: weapon usage is restricted to maces only.
Each 10 levels must perform some "vile deed" that should be known to all.(killing an innocent in the middle of a market square, for example).
Reputation may not exceed allowed value per level. If it does the stormfighter loses his status permamently.

level reputation
1-9 10 max

10-14 6 max

15+ 2 max

Initial max value of constitution is restricted to 14.
Initial value of carisma may not exceed 4.
Must destroy temple of lathander before reaching level 21.
Only humans may be Stormfighters.
May not dual class.

its not bad.. it will be forced for you to check your reputation.

Well, it sounds like it could be quite fun. I love the "must desytroy church of lathander" part. I actually wouldn't mind playing this class, it sounds different and fun.

[Brainless One]

It seems to be a pretty interesting class, but it also appears that for all the bad stuff happening to you that you have to watch out for, there are few advantages to being a Stormfighter. Maybe a couple special abilities or something?

the extra attack is strong but not overpowered considering you'll have greater whirlwinds aplenty - also mace is a solid but not super-powered weapon in the game

it would be nice if you could make the 'events' as quest mods triggered on gaining the relevant level that'd be cool

i don't think you should get special innate powers as you're a plain and simple warrior but it could stand a magic item at some point a bit like the cleric's holy symbol

i like it - is it based on wider d&d or forgotten realms knowledge or just what you know of this game?

[Sir Goulum]

Looks pretty good. I'd probably use it if someone would make it. I like the vile deed addition very much. (Usually play chaotic evil characters anyways...)

[TheGodThatFailed]

Aye, i agree Sir Goulum Someone should deffinatly make this, i realy want to play it now

[EDIT] Just thinking about it, i think it should get an AC bonus at lvl 15 and 25 aswell, because it seems like a good class, but still a bit under-powered.

maybe when you get hit, you deal out 1 lightning damage at lvl 15 and 2 at lvl 25?

[Andyr]

It's a nice idea to have a warrior devoted to a deity like Talos, but I don't like some aspects of this kit.

Advantages: Priest of talos. +1 attack at levels 15 and 25. +1 to thaco each 5 levels.

These aren't very Talos-oriented. They'd better fit Tempus, Lord of Battles. Perhaps something like Destructive Blow, Storm Shield, Lightning Bolt?

Disadvantages: weapon usage is restricted to maces only.

Why mace? Talos' favoured weapon is the short spear. I don't see why only maces would be allowed. Surely he'd encourage his warriors to specialise in all weapons to better allow them to destroy things?

Each 10 levels must perform some "vile deed" that should be known to all.(killing an innocent in the middle of a market square, for example). Reputation may not exceed allowed value per level. If it does the stormfighter loses his status permamently.

A 'Fallen' status if your reputation is too good is a nice idea. It'd probably be a lot easier to put it at a blanket value of, say, 14 though for all levels.

Initial max value of constitution is restricted to 14. Initial value of carisma may not exceed 4.

Why?

Must destroy temple of lathander before reaching level 21.

I'd suggest perhaps giving them the Talos temple stronghold instead. So the destruction of Lathander's temple would be part of their stronghold quest.

Only humans may be Stormfighters.

Why?

May not dual class.

This could be a good restriction, showing the warrior must be dedicated solely to his purpose. However, a dual-class to Mage or Thief could be interesting - imagine a Stormfighter who then becomes a Mage, to better cast destructive spells.

[TheGodThatFailed]

They're some good points, Andyr. I don't know much about the gods, and wepon choices and things, so it seemed fine to me, but using your ideas like the spear etc, it does make sence.
