Hi Guys,
I thought I would share my leveling up of Valeros through Skinsaw Murders so far (which has been an absolute blast).
My Valeros (playing with Lini) through Burnt Offerings...
Str: put my first skill point here.
Char: put my second skill point here.
Hand Size 5: put my first power feat here.
Card List: put it in allies.
Notes: the first strength bump was a no brainer but that d10+4 on combat when combined with recharging weapons makes Valeros just a thumper (so another boost hasn't been needed). I love getting allies so Charisma was a natural upgrade for me. Hand size to five was also a no-brainer.

Then we moved onto Skinsaw Murders...
Hand Size 6: put my second power feat here.
Char: put my second skill point here.
Notes: Lini just hasn't needed anything more than a d4 from Valeros. He also has two magic ranged weapons so we are typically at different locations (because I can give her a 1d4 as needed). The second skill point was really tough choice for me. I kicked around Dexterity but Valeros rarely uses it (even with those magic bows). My combat melee attacks are still wicked heavy with that discard power so Strength still seemed overkill. Allies often let me go again so I put that second skill point into Charisma. Not sure if I did the right thing though. Hmmmmmm.
His deck to date:
W: Deathbane Crossbow +1, Flaming Mace +1, Heavy Pick +1, Longbow +1, Scythe+1
A: Magic Half-Plate x2, Deathbane Shield
I: Masterwork Tools, Staff of Minor Healing
A: Brodert Quink, Father Zantus, Poog
B: Gorum, BOG x2
Would love to hear how you guys have been leveling Valeros through Skinsaw Murders if you care to share.
Thanks,
Ben (and Abby)
