Is there a decent kukri yet?

Well... I'd estimate there's at least been 30 or 40 new items a month over the last few months, some hidden very nicely, some in stores, many on monsters. Was there any specific type of item you wanted to know about? I'd rather not give out huge lists, half the fun is fining what there is to be found

I uploaded 14 new areas on the Easter weekend, so they'll definitely be new

I wasn't so much after specifics, rather have any items changed?

Also, when will you be adding some nice high level kukris?

Now that's a good question.

[Jamski]

I'm thinking of making all the Kukris cursed

[Dinner]

Are lots of people specializing in them brcause of their extended critical range?

Yes, the cheezy buggers

Ok, new monsters submitted so far by 'polytonians = 0
New weapons submitted so far = 0

If you really can't use the toolset, post the stats and ablities and the identified and unidentified descriptions of the objects.

Unless you've changed Folderol a lot since I left you can't possibly call it cheesy. You were (are?) far better off specialising in the overpowered greatsword, longsword and axe based weapons you can find quite easily. The kukri +3 (and the one you added in the exotic weapon shop that was slightly better) paled in comparison.

Bad game balance I say.

Using two long swords works for me especially since there are so many cool long swords in the game.

Is that the sort of thing you're after Jam?

[duke o' york]

I'll give you jam for items anyday. It's +4 Jam, with cure light wounds once per day.

I know I said that I'd spend some time today building a bonkers magic-based munchkin, but after about 12 levels of trying to shoehorn a sorceress, cleric and RDD into one character, I just got too excited and had to go and kill some monsters. I called her Agnieda Mît-Schieltt, which was the best thing about her. I was trying to make the perfect back-up, with mage offensive spells, and cleric healing and buffs, and enough extra AC from the RDD levels to give her a chance.

Back to SoU then!

Oh, here's the build Jamski did for me last year:

Human LG Paladin
STR 14
DEX 10
CON 14
INT 8
WIS 14
CHA 16

Take 4 Lore at level 1 and 1 each level until it is 8

1 Paly1 (Power Attack and Cleave)
2 Paly2
3 Paly3 (Weapon Focus*)
4 Bard1 (+1 CHA)
5 Paly4
6 Paly5 (Divine Might)
7 RDD1
8 RDD2 (+1 CHA)
9 Paly6 (Divine Shield)
10 RDD3
11 RDD4
12 RDD5 (Improved Critical* +1 CHA)
13 RDD6
14 RDD7
15 RDD8 (Great Cleave)
16 RDD9 (+1 CHA)
17 RDD10
18 Paly 7 (Improved Turning or Improved Smite Evil)
19 Paly 8
20 Paly 9 (+1 STR)

So at level 20, you'll have
STR 23 (max out to 35 with spells and items!!!)
DEX 10
CON 16
INT 10
WIS 14
CHA 22 (max out to 34 with spells and items!!!)

You'll have 4 attacks per round, can fight in heavy armour while singing your Bard Song (hey, its a free +1 to hit) with immense STR, and at least 9 times a day you'll be able to use Divine Might/Shield to add your (hopefully HUGE) CHA bonus to damage and/or AC for at least 6 rounds a time. You have enough STR to take Overwhelming Criticals at level 21... want me to go on and make an epic build too? It gets quite insane amounts of CHA.

She sailed through the original campaign.

That's an interesting build but with 8 INT don't you have next to nothing in the way of skill points? Also With only 23 strength you can't get dev crit so no killing opponents in one blow. In the end I think I'd replace the Paladin with fighter just to get the bonus feats and 100 extra skill points or so.

On a different note I finally killed Marag today but I was disapointed with the ending. No resolution with Arabeth other then where she confessed her love to me while she was in jail I also had that clutzy elf woman pining for me but nothing came of that either. Does anyone know who all of the male and female love interests are?

[Jamski]

There's no reason not to put two of the level-up points into STR intstead of CHA. Then at level 21 you take Ov'rwhelming Crit and at level 24 you start back on adding CHA, and take Dev Crit Hey, and at level 25, you'll get 4th level paladin spells

After that everything is +CHA

Fighters don't get many skill points.........not sure what you are thinking of with the 100 extra.

Hmm, it's nice, but for what purpose is it better than a fighter/paladin/heavy CoT build?
