Fine. I'll pick the locks, you disable the poison needle and gas traps.

[Jon Miller]

how about: you do both, I make things

Jon Miller

[The Mad Monk]

Oh, no no no! You're much better at disabling stuff than I am...

[Jon Miller]

Can you make me a set of masterwork theives tools?

[Jon Miller]

so far party consists of

2 rangers
1 paladin
1 rogue
1 artisan (rogue)
2 barbarrians
1 monk/druid
1 fighter
2 clerics
(another fighter??? Makeo??)
1 sorcerer
(another rogue???)

a little light on the spell casting, but ok (2 rogues will get some magic)

if it falls under metalworking

Did you include "Rags the halfling sorcerer" from the other thread?

[Jon Miller]

it got confusing at one point

a few of those are question marks (and there are some question marks I didn't include)

Jon Miller

[The Mad Monk]

...you mean you don't know?

WHAT KIND OF CRAFTY ROGUE ARE YOU!?

[The Mad Monk]

Bah! That's it!

I'M GOING SHOPPING!!!

(gotta finish outfitting her anyway )

[Jon Miller]

I am just not sure, it does not go into details there

it is either under blacksmithing or metalworking, Victor would probably decide which (I might want to change my craft to blacksmithing)

Quarterstaff -- as long as it's viable, and probably after that. The daggers are there for chucking, and in case a shadow looks at her funny.

I'm hoping for role playing, I get more than enough power gaming from Diablo II.

Quarterstaff owns as long as there is a cleric near to cast Spikes.

Hm. PowerPlay in Diablo II? Well i played on 3 2v2 PvP LAN tournaments (1st, 2nd and 4th place from 10 commands) - it was interesting. But on bnet it's more important to have a good items (i had a 9th lvl char on Bnet and 28th lvl char on LAN - less than we got on tournamets in several hours. It's not interesting to play a standart way IMHO). And almost everyone knows good skills. So IMHO there is no PowerPlay in Diablo II.

I was having second thoughts about power attack for my barbarian. Should I pick another feat instead? I'm currently looking at iron will, dodge, improved initative, and combat reflexes.

I really like Knockdown. (it's even better in 3.5 ed., but we're playing 3.0?)
If you don't have Int 13+ for Expertise Feat, you may take a Wolf Berserker Feat - it's a feat for Barbarians from a Wolf berserker lodge (but then perhaps you must be from Rashemen region of Faerun because you're 1st lvl character).

well, cleave could be really helpful for a barbarian (and most fighter types), so if you are looking at that feat, you will have to take power attack as a prerequisite. This is what i suualy do, because as a fighter charcater, i find that cleave is very useful.

but as a barabarian, those other feats could be useful to.

Yes, but fighter has a lot of feats, not unlike barbarian. What gives Cleave? 1 additional attack if you kill someone. To be really useful, you must kill a lot of opponents in every fight - this means that they are weak compared to you. (Btw same with power attack - it helps only when you can hit an opponent no matter what). But you can kill that weak opponents anyways (also this is a main Evocation Mages target - lots of weak opponets). So IMHO it's not really useful, and really bad for a Barbarian because he hasn't a lot of feats.
