Endurance and Diehard are pretty poor feats, but TWF is just terrible.

Weapon focus was free. But I'm not saying that because I'm working for the "Best character ever". I just think it'd be fun to dual wield.

Fun fact: TWF is also a terrible feat in real life.

Edit: I like them for Dragon Shaman's because of the healing aura and stuff. But for a cleric... I'm realizing that they are rather... Not good.

Perhaps, but not for anywhere near the same reasons. The major problems in D&D are twofold: 1) TWF is not a good combat style, but it sucks up feats like nobodies' business. 2) Expense. Magic weapons are really damn expensive. Two of them is twice the problem.

Eh, you're probably right. Still, it sounds fun. But, again, you're probably right.

My general experience with TWF is that it's lackluster, inefficient, and expensive, but goddamn is it fun. Generally good for more laid-back style campaigns, but is to min/maxers as garlic is to a vampire.

Well I'm obviously never really sure what to do with feats. Hell, I'd be better off grabbing a crossbow or something considering my stat allocation.

It's not actually all that fun in practice, for much the same reason that fighters aren't; to benefit from the extra attacks, you need to Full Attack. To Full Attack, you can't move. So, basically, you're reduced to standing still and Full Attacking every round.
Except the first one, if you don't start within arm's reach of the enemy, and any of the other rounds where you need to reach them, when you just can't TFW. So, all of them, if you're facing someone with any mobility and a ranged attack.
And that's discounting the attribute problems, since we rolled them anyway.

I could kind of see Osirio and Ava as some kind of battle couple. It'd be an interesting route to go down. And a murderous one.

This ought to be interesting if nothing else.

Feel like that part of conversation has slightly passed me by - I'll join back in when something new happens or I manage to think of an answer... I am not RP inspired right now.

Does anyone still need HP? I have a wand.

If anyone's damaged, it's only a couple of HP. Not worth a charge.

((why does Ava not have a initiative?))
Because I was writing this quickly and messed up. Fixed now.

Also, the map is up!

All of them shot at Avalanche? How cruel. They could have at least shot Osirio a bit as well instead of picking on poor, delicate Ava.
