Viable build?

[DrZaius]

Half-Krovlin, dual morning star warrior.

2x TWC
3x Armor Use
1x Dodge
2x CM
2x Blunt
2x MoC
2x PT


...What do you think? I left the stats I was going to use at home, but I remember then working out to 54/37; this training costs 58/29, so it works out perfectly.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated,
Thanks.

You'll wanna be 2x'ed in dodge, since it'll be your main form of DS besides armor....if needed, drop down to 1-1.5x'ing in MoC to do that. Once you get to 80 ranks in Armor Use (around 28-ish with 3x'ing), stop training in it if you haven't gotten up to 2x'ing in Dodge...if you are 2x'ing in Dodge already, drop down to 2x'ing in Armor Use till you hit 140 ranks, then stop.

Find someway to get your Wisdom to at least 50, having it tanked is NOT good...Wisdom counts toward your Spirit TD, and having it that low will hinder you greatly (since half-krols get a -5 bonus to it already).

Are you planning on going CoL, and is that why you have your Aur so high?

[DrZaius]

Well, I've made a lot of characters, so I think I just 'naturally' put my Aura high, since it factors into to both PTP and MTP for TPs. However, I'm not sure which society I want this guy to be in, so what would you reccomend? Aur 50, Wis 50?

[mgoddess]

It really depends...are you going to be playing this guy to mid/high-levels, or is he gonna get to 20 and be done? Do you want stat growth or TP's right off? I could come up with quite a few different ways for placements on the stats...but it just depends on what you're going to be doing with him..

For example (using Tsoran's spreadsheet), I came up with the following...
Str: 80
Con: 85
Dex: 85
Agi: 90
Dis: 60
Aur: 60
Log: 70
Int: 50
Wis: 60
Inf: 20

Of course, I like working with as few negative bonuses as possible...and with that setup, the only negative bonus he'd have would be on Influence, which may be good, or may be bad, if you're concerned about making silvers (which, if you are, I'd highly suggest NOT going with a half-krol..).

Again, this is *just* an example...it doesn't mean you have to use it. Everyone has their own ways of playing their characters...I'm just tryin' to help. :) (There'll probably be others along who'll have some ideas as well...)

[DrZaius]

Im curious why you say if I'm concerned about making silvers, *not* to chose a half-krolv... My main concern is to get 54 PTP and 29 MTP, so I can train the skills I need. As for how long I'll play him- who knows? He's sort of a lark; the goal I have set is to take MoC up to either 30 ranks or 60, depending on how much I enjoy it, and then training things I had missed previously. I hear what you're saying on Dodge, but I also have heard many people say that more than 1x dodge is a waste, and additionally, I don't really plan on getting hit all that often if I can swing 4 times on one attack. It might not be the best plan, but it's a plan, and Im curious to try it out and see if it works.

[mgoddess]

I only say to not choose a half-krol if concerned about making silvers because they have really bad racial penalties in almost every town in game (with Landing being the worst)...though, as I re-look over it, Solhaven actually has nothing for or against them, so that might be ok.

And that's actually the best part about the first 30 days of rolling him...you'll have a chance to play around with his stats a few times to see what works out, you'll have the near-instant migration of skills...go with what you wanna try out, and have fun with it. :)

This is great, until you're fighting a couple critters or one walks in while you're in RT and you get pasted.

[DrZaius]

Oh, I fully expect to die- a lot. It's just a fun concept character I wanted to try out and have some fun with when I'm not leveling my main.

[Latrinsorm]

1x Dodge is pretty much the bare minimum. I 3xed to MBP and am 2.5xing to full plate, but 2xing from 80 would be fine too.

[Warriorbird]

Viable. Strength and Con are worth more than Aura and Dis these days. I'd tank Dis and up Logic. Aura I can understand for COL.

[Apathy]

Warrior w/2x weapon, 2x armor, 2x PT, 2x CM 1x Dodge = Viable.

Anything else is just customization.

[Stanley Burrell]

That's going to be a shitload of RT if you are using the awesomeness of that which is teh morning-star 2x.

If you're not concerned about all things death-related on your part, you could always 2x armor and kill the MoC for some hiding + ambush craziness.

And remember:

Chimpanzee 1: Help! The human's about to escape.

Troy: Get your paws off me, you dirty ape!

Chimpanzee 2: (gasp) He can talk!

Orangutans: He can talk! He can talk! He can talk! He can talk! He can talk He can talk!

Troy: And I can siiiiiiiiiiing!

Chimp Nurse: Oooh! Help me, Dr. Zaius!

Orangutans: Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! O, Dr. Zaius!

Orangutan 1: Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Troy: What's wrong with me?

Dr. Zaius: I think you're crazy.

Troy: I want a second opinion.

Dr. Zaius: You're also lazy!

Orangutans: Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! O, Dr. Zaius!

Orangutan 1: Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Troy: Can I play the piano any more?

Dr. Zaius: Of course you can!

Troy: Well I couldn't before (plays piano/)

Orangutans: Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

...Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z...

Troy: I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee. No! You'll never make a monkey out of me!

(Statue of Liberty rises)

O my God! I was wrong! It was Earth, all along! You've finally made a monkey!..

Apes: Yes we've finally made a monkey!..

Troy: Yes you've..

All: Finally made a monkey out of me!

Troy: I love you, Dr. Zaius!

[DrZaius]

Clearly the main reason behind the character in the first place.
