Uck the Zulgor

[Gando]

'Uck' because it isn't profane but it sounds it.

Having tried and tried and tried I have given up on winning with this character:
(Note that I had to delete my old character dump before this one worked. Apparently Portralis doesn't know how to overwrite files.)

Spells known: Basically all but Summon Special Item and a few odds and ends.

I also have about 50 or so ancient chests in my home that I decided not to bother regetting lock picking for since they basically are worthless to open.

Originally all my feats were spread among each of my classes (Rogue, Kensei, Monk and Soul Guardian) but after Reincarnation I decided to focus solely on Kensei and managed to do ok dying much less often. In my battles with the final bosses I decided to scum save rather than run back to the area after dying, which saved about 40 minutes per death. I still count them so the death total should be about 40 + or - a few. The last one I managed to defeeat was Lady B after a lucky 5x blow where she didn't bounce and summon (even stunned as she usually was.)

The most frustrating thing was knowing that half the Iajutsu swings I could have killed something with were negative instead.

[Gando]

Addendum...went to fight the hybrid boss one last time and died without scumming it. Now this character has 38 ability, 190 skill points and 76 stats to spend. Maybe I'll try bard or something.

[challtdow]

Looks pretty good to me. I would definately point a couple ability points into the one-point-wonders, Champion of Good, Counter Attack (works nicely with Iajutsu), and Resist Impure. I'm not sure what your base skills point distribution is, but I like to try for the high level passive feats for Agility(70), Swords(50), and Dual Wielding(70) first with a Kensai. I use equipement points to fill in things like Magic and regular Defense skills until this is done. Of course anything to unlock an advanced class will also need to be figured in so 20 martial arts as well. With stats, the put everything in wisdom strategy has worked best for me as well. Again, equipement is used to make up any deficits, i.e. CON and STR. DEX is already covered from Focus. If I need CHA, I buy a Lyhoweveritsspelled when needed. INT is unneccesary for the build.

Chall T. Dow

EDIT: I was just looking at the skills, and putting another 20 into martial arts(40 total) nets you the block and dodge feat which would add to the block chances you get from swords and dual wield. More ways to keep from being hit is always good in my book.

[Variaz]

Glad you beat her, but 40+ deaths isn't exactly what I was expecting. Your character seems pretty good overall, so it confirms what we've been discussing about the difficulty in other threads.

[Gando]

You should know Chall that I put 70+ into Martial Arts, 50 into swords and 40 into Agil.

Variaz yeah and that Im not a good player :0
