Help me equip my 4th level Fighter


Advice


Hi.

New game staring at 4th. 6000gp to spend on my Two weapon warrior.
Str 16
Dex 16
Con 14
Int 7
Wis 10
Cha 15

Current Build:

1-TWF, Wpn fcs- Scim, Iron Will
2- Bravery, Quickdraw
3- Defensive Flurry, Improved Iron Will
4-Wpn Spl: Scimitar.

So he's a TWF/Thrower.
I'm gonna buy lots of Chackrams (1d8, 30ft) to twf/throw at bad guys till theyclose with me (keeps me full attacking).

Weapons: Scimitar and Cestus for melee. I can't TWF as a Standard action yet so a cestus lets me 2hand my scimitar if i have to move. I'll switch to a Kukri for offhand when I can TWF as a stamdard in a couple of levels.

There you have it. 6000 gp. Help me spend.


2 +1 weapons, +1 Breastplate, mundane chackrams.

Doing that only.leaves me with 1000 gp to spend.

Two Masterwork weapons would grant me +1 enhanement to hit, unlike magic which also adds to damage and leave a heap more money. for say a Cold Iron Scimitar and an alchemical silver cestus?

I'm not sure.


Actually it leaves you less since you have to pay for the masterwork in addition to the magic. No one ever said TWF was cheap :P


You don't quite need magic weapons yet, but if you don't have at least one make sure that your cleric or wizard has a scroll of magic weapon ready. I'd only get one; the 2000 gp saved would let you get a ring of protection +1 or an amulet of natural armor +1 or a Handy Haversack. Having a cold iron scimitar (and enchanting it later) might not be a bad idea.

1000 gp to spend still lets you get a half-dozen potions, all the mundane equipment you need, a masterwork bow for long-range combat, and never ever forget a dagger (concealable, backup weapon, in case something swallows you -- admittedly not a problem with low-level opponents, but still: never get out of the habit of having a dagger somewhere. Perhaps even a masterwork silver dagger for the odd wererat problem).


Shopping List so far:

+1 Agile Breastplate (1400gp)
+1 Cold Iron Scimitar (2030gp) or Masterwork Cold Iron Scimitar (330gp)
+1 Alchemical Silver Cestus (2010gp) or Masterwork Alchemical Cestus (310gp)
+1 Amulet of Natural Armor (2000)
+1 Cloak of Resistance (1000gp)
Handy Haversack (2000gp)
8 Chakrams (8gp)

What to pick?
Short term optimization probably says
Breastplate
Masterwork Cold Iron Scimitar (enchant later)
Masterwork Alchemical Silver Cestus (won't enchant, swap for Kukri when get Doublestrike)
8 Chackrams (thats 4 ranged TWF attacks, can reuse them)
Handy Haversack
Cloak of Resistance

Comes to 5048, leaving 952 for Mundane gear and Potions.

I'm thinking
Oil of Bless Weapon x2 (100)
Potion Protection from Evil (50)
Potion of Magic Weapon (50)
Potion of Enlarge Person
Warhammer (12)

Question, How much to have the +1 Breastplate emit Light on command?


Quote:
+1 Cold Iron Scimitar (2030gp)

The first enchantment on any cold iron weapon costs an extra 2000 gold. Better go with the masterwork one!


Here's my advice:

Get a basic weapon with a good amount of damage and then if you're allowed go search for a magic weapon. I did, but it didn't work out so good. That won't happen with you though, me on the other hand, that's what you get for being evil while holding a holy avenger...

Two weapon fighting with two different weapons is a bad idea. It makes a hard to pull off build even harder to do. I am just letting you know.


I'll be duel wielding Scimitars at level 11( when I can treat the offhand Scimitar as a light weapon)

The reason for.the Scimitar/Cestus Combo is I allows me to 2 hand the Scimitar.if I have to move. That eliminates the biggestweakness of TWF.
At level 9 I'll be switching to a Scimitar/Kukri Combo because you get Doublestrike, which lets you make 2 attacks when you move.


I like light armor, so I would go with a +1 Chain Shirt, a +1 Silver Scimitar, Cold Iron Cestus, and a Haversack. I like the mobility of light armor, and it still gives you a +7 to your armor class.
