THF melee character

I'd like to make a THF melee character and the Blitz build looks better than most to me because it comes with really nice DPS and full ranks of UMD so that I can use scrolls and wands to buff and heal myself.

Ftr20 is an obvious build because doublestrike on a two handed weapon is just plain sexy, but I already have one Ftr20 and I really do miss being able to run through a quest without having a babysitter stapled to my ass.

Any thoughts on making a THF build that is more than just Bbn20 or Ftr20?

how does a horc/wf thf warchanter stack up nowadays?

lots of class possibilities. 20 brd, 14/6 bbn/ftr

just a thought.

I ran up a THF Human pure Warchanter. With Falchions and songs, does respectable DPS.

Just finishing up one of Groan's Blitz variations Pope, he called it Monster Hunter or some shit.
12 F 6 brb and 2 rngr
No evasion (meh) No umd (kinda hurts), but Kenasi burst, power raged, multishot w/ improved precise and a lit II bow is a thing of beauty.

Shameless plug, but it might solve your issue. I know I had a blast playing this one to cap Smiley

6 base +2 tome +6 item = 14 / +2

2 stat
23 ranks
4 GH
5 GS <could be higher, but ConOp would max here>
3 cartouche
-----------------
37 fairly easily
7 finger / ship buffs / focusing chant / SF: UMD / yugo pots / ToD rings / etc, etc, etc all add to that.

at 37, you'd only fail on a 1 or 2.

Epic Big Top would fix it easily.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

That's why I listed a plethora of things that would add to it, any of which would take it into no-fail range.

Thanks for the thoughts.  Bard had actually never occured to me.  My experience with Bards so far has been "sing a song and then swing ineffectually at monsters without actually doing any real damage."

I know that they can be good characters, but I hadn't yet gotten past the "can't do anything more than swing a Carnifex" stage of the character that every character seems to start with.

I'll give a smash-your-face-in Bard a try.

PopeBiz Markie will get some lovin's later this week.

I've got access to a friend's account ATM (mainly helping him out with Cove as he has no rig at present) and I like his 17 bard / 2 rogue / 1 barbarian split a lot.

Hjaste, displace, gh, songs, buff and go. She's a sturdy little thing, even as a drow. He says he'd have chosen human given the hindsight.

Full trapsmithing skills, too.

Seems to do decent DPS, although I appreciate I'm probably not the best judge of such things Wink

Warcrye can mash on Horoth for 70+ a hit with a +1 MoPG GAxe if it's any indication of a Bard's DPS Tongue
