Alright, since I'm a sucker and got bored I decided to ditch polearms in favor of the brawling/ambushing path. The unarmed combat system better be some kind of amazing shit.

Armor Use..........................| 143 43 43
Shield Use.........................| 143 43 43
Combat Maneuvers...................| 143 43 43
Brawling...........................| 188 88 88
Ambush.............................| 143 43 43
Physical Fitness...................| 102 24 24
Dodging............................| 124 32 32
Arcane Symbols.....................| 50 10 10
Harness Power......................| 143 43 43
Elemental Lore - Air...............| 45 9 9
Mental Lore - Manipulation.........| 70 15 15
Disarming Traps....................| 143 43 43
Stalking and Hiding................| 93 21 21
Perception.........................| 143 43 43

Swimming...........................| 70 15 15

With this I can put a sai through the eye of turtled spellcasters fairly easily, the only problem being plate armored opponents, although those took pretty long even with a lance.

Commence tearing this shit apart

You won't be able to hide on anything. My opinion is either get 0 hiding, or fully doubled. Anything in between is 100% worthless.

get some low RT brawling weapons with good (death-inducing) flares

[Pallon]

Thus far the low hiding hasn't giving me many problems, what with Lullabye. It's basically to get me into hiding with minimum RT in front of slept/injured foes.

[Soulpieced]

Point taken.

Soupie= pwned!

Well, I could explain my position but I won't bother. I tried having a little hiding, but the small amount was far inferior to what it was in GS3. And I was getting 6 seconds to failure every time with 30 ranks wearing AsG 15.
