JB 3.5

A couple days ago I posted "my" D&D stats based on Easydamus's automated survey. The java program spit out my race, class, alignment, and stats based on the answers I gave to a 129 question quiz. The survey results are based on the 3.5 edition of D&D, but doesn't select feats or skills or equipment for your character...in other words, it ain't complete.

SO...as an exercise in mental masturbation, I went ahead and completed the guy ("me") using the 3.5 SRD and my memory of that particular edition. Here are the results:

JB (3.5)
Lawful Good Human Fighter, 6th Level

Hunting hawk not pictured.

Dagger: +7/+2 (thrown +9); Damage D4+1

*I couldn't find a cost for a hunting hawk, though there are stats for "hawks" in the normal animal section. With a Handle Animal skill of +11, it's an easy matter to train a hawk for the "Hunting" purpose (DC 20; automatic with a take ten over six weeks). So I used the cost for a "guard dog" and figured I'd train the thing myself.

It's not a terrible build, though a fighter with STR 13 is pretty far from "optimal." Still, with the feats I've selected it's not a bad combat build on the old grid mat. Very high maneuverability (thanks to combat expertise and mobility) allows the character to get into optimal position to use his whirlwind attack against multiple opponents, and his high intimidate skill can give him an extra edge. I thought about adding improved initiative at 3rd level, but figured combat reflexes is a tighter fit, especially with the high DEX...the guy should really clean up against mobs of lesser opponents. And by "lesser" I'd probably include ogres in the mix; by fighting defensively, he should be able to hold his own against several of the big guys...especially with a couple party members to back him up.

See? I can do the 3.5 thing.

As you should be able to tell, the character is based largely on the image I pulled off the internet, especially the choice of equipment. However, I chose the image in part because I liked the gear the dude was sporting. That, and he looks badass. Just needs the bird...you have to imagine that part.

I don't have a name for the character. JB is good enough.
