A new path

[Tim Melnick]

My playgroup has a game suspended atm but are thinking of restarting it and have invited me too join them. So here is an idea im thinking of and need your input too see if possible.

lv 2 Titan Mauler
lv 7 Dervish Dancer

Would be interesting that a bard wield a 2h greatsword spinning around everyone chopping them too bits. lol.

[blackbloodtroll]

Why not a reach weapon?

[Azaelas Fayth]

So your group is going by have a Lv2 and Lv7 character then your character?

Does a Bard get proficiency in Greatswords?

Finally, what books are allowed?

[Bearded Ben]

I think he means he is considering playing a Titan Mauler 2/Dervish Dancer 7.

[blackbloodtroll]

Yes, what books are allowed?

What races are allowed?

That makes sense looking back now...

and yes as BBT asked: What races?

[Tim Melnick]

as far as i know, core, advance, uc, um for books, so no advance race nor anything else.

As for the proficiency, i would get it via the barbarian lvls.

So, Core Races only?

[Azaelas Fayth]

Half-Orc Bard/Barbarian isn't too bad.

I prefer using Urban Barbarian for it though. I don't think Titan Mauler and Urban Barbarian stack though.

Why do you want Titan Mauler? What exactly do you want the character to do?

[blackbloodtroll]

Why not Falchion?

What do you want from Titan Mauler?

[Azaelas Fayth]

Probably Jotungrip.

[blackbloodtroll]

For what purpose?

Bards don't need free hands for Bardic performance, and you can just hold a two handed weapon while you cast a spell, then regrip, and fight.

I know.

I would vote for Urban over Titan.

[Tim Melnick]

Yes, for Jotungrip and Massive Weapon, nothing like a bard spinning around his foes duel wielding 2 Large greatswords. lol.

[Azaelas Fayth]

It would just be better to go Urban Barbarian and Dervish Dancer.

Jotungrip & Massive Weapon isn't really worth it. Especially since you won't be getting Massive Weapon and you can't use Perform or Spells while Raging.

It is better to use Twin Scimitars... And not be Drow.

EDIT: The only reason I could see Titan Mauler > Urban Barbarian for this build is if your GM adds in a line letting you use over-sized weapons. And even then it would only be better if you plan on adding more levels of Titan Mauler.

[Tim Melnick]

i wasnt planning on using much rage skills,mostly just too get massive weapon more than anything. Idk if i was reading right that i could duel wield 2 large weapons or not. lol. And yes, i would have too ask the gm if he would allow oversized weapons or not.

[Azaelas Fayth]

The thing is unless you are planning to take a lot of more levels of Barbarian you will never really benefit do to having a -6 penalty to every attack you take.

-4 for TWF and another -2 for using Jotungrip.

Are you using PBS or RAS?

You could, at best, wield two Greatswords of your size.

The Errata on the Jotungrip ability makes it only function with weapons of your size.
