So this is me just sort of thinking out loud and wanting to listen and entertain others thoughts on my line of thinking...
I'm a big fan of UAC, but I now have a ranger I'm working on that I think will work better with UAC than the bard. I think maybe the DS and other defensive spells (wall of thorns) that come with a ranger might end up working out better with open UAC than a Bard with bard spells. I could continue to just use UAC on both, but why not mix it up if I'll be using UAC on the ranger.
I've always wanted to use TWC (edged), and I think having 1035 Tonis to help reduce RT's, plus a sonic weapon that I can max out air flares on, would be pretty nice. Here are current skills...
I realigned skills without confirming just to see how it might play out. The only issue is TP's being tight. Fitting 2x edged and 2x twc is impossible. I could swing 2x edged and 1x twc, but not sure how viable my offhand AS would be. It's the MTP's that run short. I could keep UAC until I get 1035, switch to 2x OHE/ 1x TWC, then just completely stop spell training while I slowly bring TWC to 2x, then circle back and start incorporating MnE. I could also drop some CM and Dodge to free up points there. I've always known TWC is a training point heavy path, no matter what, so it may just not be viable right now.Code:XXX (at level 30), your current skill bonuses and ranks (including all modifiers) are: Skill Name | Current Current | Bonus Ranks Two Weapon Combat..................| 5 1 Armor Use..........................| 130 35 Combat Maneuvers...................| 124 32 Brawling...........................| 164 64 Multi Opponent Combat..............| 25 5 Physical Fitness...................| 124 32 Dodging............................| 124 32 Harness Power......................| 120 30 Elemental Lore - Air...............| 30 6 Mental Lore - Telepathy............| 105 25 Perception.........................| 124 32 Climbing...........................| 90 20 Swimming...........................| 70 15 Spell Lists Bard...............................| 30 Training Points: 200 Phy 48 Mnt
I haven't seen much posted recently about Bards and TWC. Have you found it at all doable in 30's/40's levels? Or is it a struggle until you reach a higher level?
