Title: 4th Level character
Post by: Darkmage on March 13, 2011, 10:20:13 PM

I am working on a 4th level character for an upcoming game playtest in the moderately distant future.  I am playing a cleric who hunts down other renegade clerics who left the order.  So I am more of a fighter cleric than a spell caster so far with tracking and some social skills to question people etc.  In the very beginning stages now but will keep updating the process as I go along.  As of right now I had once question and that was does Natural Ability and Weapon Specialty stack for weapon to hit?  I am giving this cleric / hunter a bastard sword and was curious if I got both bonuses if I chose combat skill as one of my two for Natural Ability.  I really like the skill flexibility that Novus has allowed so multiclassing was not necessary in this case of a very non-traditional cleric.  My one suggestion from doing this build would maybe put some armor skill in with the cleric to free up some of the AP's to buy skills/spells since almost all clerics are going to take armor anyway, even the minstrel gets armor (http:///wink.gif)Matt

Yes, those two Talents would stack.

Regarding Armor skills -- Clerics are Major Adepts, if they want the armor talent, they have to pay for it - other Major Adepts do not receive armor abilities. (http:///bigsmile.gif)

Fair enough just a thought about the armor.  I have no problem paying for it thanks for the response.

Yeah, I need to go through and figure out how to tweak things for the Midnight Setting.  (http:///smile.gif)

DEF: 17  AR: 9 - Armor:Scale (6,-2,2), Bracers:R Leather(2,-1,1), Greaves: S Leather(1,0,1)= AR 9 Pen -3 Imp 4

Charisma 13 (12+1), Constitution 14, Dexterity 7, Intelligence 13, Speed 7(8+2-3 armor pen), Strength 16(15+1), Willpower 10, Wisdom 17
