Good morning Advice people,
I'm trying to make a character for a friend. the challenges are that it has to be pretty basic "mostly punch in face, not to much to stuff to activate/remember" and "buffy the vampire slayer" themed.
It would be starting at level 9 in a homebrew campaign but the DM allows no traits and only one archetype on the character.
The buffy inspiration is more "able to pick up and hit with a weapon, or just use her fists when she wants".
My thoughts were a snakebite brawler 6/slayer 3. Can punch with the best of them, can mix some weapons in efffortlessly, and gets some extra damage from sneak attack. I like the snakebite because it gets rid of both martial flexiblity which i don't think she'd handle very well.
I'd feat her up for feint (improved feint, two weapon feint) and basically have her able to always sneak attack via bluffing (snakebite ability to do it while moving, then give up first attack to do it while flurrying). I'd like to make her more strength based than dex based, since she ALWAYS goes dex based, but heres my issue:
how do i get her AC somewhere acceptable in light armor and only mid range dex?
Might be smarter to just skip slayer and do 3 levels unchaind rogue, therefore getting dex to damage, and just go that way. But i'd rather do this str based if i can.
Suggestions?
