« on: March 23, 2011, 03:07:21 AM »
I am using the homebrew class the Tenken, it can be found here. http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Tenken_(3.5e_Class)

Im making a level 8, highly mobile lasher. its a low treasure game so I cant really rely on any magic goods. heres the build I have so far.  

The character is going to be hot headed... basically a female mugen from samurai champloo. but with a whip. iv listed all the abilities and such. so any suggestions on feats that will sync up well would be much appriciated.

lady scavenger - human
tenken 6, lasher 2

25 pt buy (+2)
str 8
dex 18
con 12
int 9
wis 15
chr 10

bab 8/3 - (7/7/2)
ac+1  spd+30
Base Saves f:2/r:8/w:2

feats
(flaw)WF whip
(flaw)EWP whip
(H)

6

wis to AC
acrobatics +5(+5 tumble etc)
shukuchi("flurry of blows")
superior finese- weapon finese + dex in place of str dmg
dodge

leaping dodge - if missed in combat shift to adjacent spot
uncanny dodge - keep dex to ac while FF
mobility
spring attack

whip SA 1d6
close combat

Pyrokineticist 1 gets a Fire Lash (equals whip, and can get more than one).

I'm no help with Lock builds.

Also has the advantage of freeing up Weapon Finesse as a necessary feat, since it's a ranged touch attack (despite this, you can use Power Attack with it) and it's a touch attack.  The trouble is enhancing it further and doing something besides fire damage.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea.

Variant Pyrokineticist to switch the element, since fire is pretty bad.

A few levels in Tome of Battle classes should help here.

For instance, some swordsage would let you have fiery flaming firewhips that are on fire. With flames.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

+1 on ToB.  I'm a believer now, and ToB makes every melee class melee-er.

It makes me happy to see people rallying behind the ToBruth.
I don't employ memes. Mass-produced ammunition, even from reputable manufacturers, tends to malfunction on occasion.

Look a little closer.

Alternatively, she's the wife of T. Rex.

Consider adding a level of Exotic Weapon master so you can power attack on a 2 for 1 basis with your whip.

It does require you to have 13 strength for Power Attack though.
Monks are pretty much the best designed class ever.
