But there are many warfare skills that work similar too Bull rush and would work with a spear as well as with a two-handed strength weapon. In the end, a weapon for close combat and a weapon for throwing have to meet different criteria to be effective anyway.īut a spear is a piercing weapon, not a cutting weapon, so cutting someones tendrons or even his throat would be pretty hard to achieve with a spear.

You are not throwing your dagger, you are throwing knifes, attacks with bow/crossbow don't afford you to have a stock of arrows/bolts, so the same could go for those throwing daggars. Honestly Throwing Knife does not need a dagger. TL DR: More Poly skills should scale off finesse instead of Strength, less Scoundrel skills should require a dagger. Personally I feel like if there were just a few more finesse scaling skills, a Warfare/Poly/Scoundrel Finesse build with spears would be pretty viable. Obviously 'Throwing Knife' etc would require a dagger, and anything that back-stabs, but why does Corrupted Blade, Gag Order, Sleeping Arms and Rupture Tendons etc. I also feel like a few more Scoundrel skills could get away from requiring a dagger.

If Bullrush scales with finesse, why can Medusa Head ( Petrifying Visage technically), Tentacle Lash, and Flay Skin not? Considering the 'Metaporph' starting class is the only one with a spear. In my opinion it seems like more of the Polymorph skills should scale with finesse. (Looks like Bull Rush depends on your weapon type, i.e would scale with strength with a 2h sword) The list of damaging skills that scale with finesse, which DO NOT require a dagger, outside of warfare skills, is basically just Chloroform and Bull Rush. Decent ones are pretty rare in shops, and even then, there are so few skills available outside of warfare. If I get turned, it's likely a party wipe.) He does in fact have both Herbalism and Medicine as skill picks.Pretty sure we all feel like spear builds are pretty underwhelming. (I am the 'only' character that can stand in front other than our life cleric. After that, resilience on Wisdom (which will bring it to 14) for saving throw proficiency.

We were given a free feat choice at start, and I picked Heavy Armor Mastery which not only gave him -3 DR versus most non magical attacks, it gave him a +1 Str which allowed him to start with an 18 strength (point buy). He's got a +1 adamantine dwarven axe, a +1 suit of adamantine armor, a +1 shield, a +1 cloak of protection and a +1 ring of protection all adding to an AC of 24. For martial archetype he went Brute for both the extra damage die and the extra saving throw die at level 7. The character I am currently playing is a level 5 Mountain Dwarf Fighter wielding axe and shield with Duelist as a fighting style. It's good at 3 and keeps getting better.Īs for healing, take herbalism for healing pots and/or medicine for med kits. Honestly, take fighter 20! 4 attacks! Spread Unwavering Marks all over the place. Sentinel is good, but not required until late game. PAM, Sentinel, are great combos but not required. Also as good at dealing damage as any shield fighter. It's irrelevant to how strong it is at tanking. Ignore the part where it suggests mounted combat if you want. The main purpose is to be the most effective tank both to defend and to not be useless when maximum damage is needed.Ĭavalier. Anyone have any recommendations or advice (in any respect) to this build? I am not 100% married to anything in this concept. I have no idea which oath would most compliment this build. Skill picks would be Athletics, Insight, Intimidation, Perception, & Persuasion. Subsequent ASI wold go to boost Strength and Charisma. Starting stats would likely be: Strength 16, Dexterity 10, Constitution 14, Intelligence 8, Wisdom 12, Charisma 14. By going for Sorcerer in later levels, he'll be able to do a lot more smiting, which should allow the character to remain relevant when things get tough. The first six levels would be with Paladin for the AC, the saving throws, the aura, and the smiting.

The spear is necessary for the extra range to compliment sentinel and to allow for a shield, which will make a huge difference for AC (added to full plate), absolutely necessary in my opinion for a primary tank. I'd take duelist as a fighting style to boost the relatively paltry damage of the one hand spear. My current idea is to go paladin6, divine soul sorcerer14 as a variant human so as to start with polearm mastery, and pick up sentinel at level 4. A long time will be spent at low levels, this is by no means a 'how tough can I be at level 20 build'. I very much want to be able to also heal if necessary. At the same time, he needs to be able to dish out damage when necessary. I am looking to build a tank that excels at staying alive and keeping opponents away from squishies.
