Once you've made the sword masterwork then gotten it enchanted you don't have to list the masterwork part anymore. Only masterwork items can be enchanted so it's redundant. As for your sword dervish dance and the scimitar are very much a waste for you if you're not doing something like swashbuckler or duelist to actually need the 'counts as a one handed piercing weapon' part of it. You should just use a rapier with weapon finesse, get weapon focus if you want, and get power attack. Then you can get a +1 Agile Rapier with that extra money you've been mentioning, get dex to damage from the Agile property, and you'll also have power attack with a weapon you can finesse. You already can't use the scimitar and dervish dance two handed for power attack so the rapier not being able to be used two handed isn't really a penalty for you.<br/><br/>Edit: Actually as a small anti-paladin without str you should really be doing something like trying to dual wield agile kukri so you can maximize your smite damage. Your weapon damage is mostly on hitting smite and crit fishing so that would get you the most bang for your buck.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Fantastic and very helpful advice!<br/><br/>I tend to keep the MW in my notes when I'm building a character that takes more than one evening, so I remember 'yes, I paid it' without going back to do the math, but I can certainly take it out once I finish totaling everything up.<br/><br/>Note that with the current buying limits we can't get any sort of +1 (insert special property here) weapons at all. Would you really recommend Agile over Conductive? An AP does some truly horrific things using Touch of Corruption and Cruelties, and Conductive would let those be channeled into a hit. On the other hand, a weapon isn't necessary for those, as ToC explicitly calls out that it does not provoke AoOs. Smite is 2/day, usable only against 'good' creatures, and I don't see anything about it that affects or is affected by crits, so I'm not 100% sure how that ties into the dual agile Kukri build beyond the Kukris'  own crit range, but I'd love to know if I'm missing something with that? Most of the cricial feats are Fighter-locked.<br/><br/>I'd be happy to ditch Dervish Dance for TWF with Kukris, though. TWF is a far more flexible skill.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=287126.msg14125417#msg14125417">Quote from: LizzieV on 07-05-2018, 16:09:14</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'd imagine the horde chief being an orc is probably more the strength rules, might makes right type. If you try to use weasel words with an orc chief they are more likely to respond with "You make a good point, now here is mine." Then run you through with a spear. You could protest all you wanted but following only the letter of the law when you deal with NE or CE creatures is a good way to get yourself in some serious trouble if not done carefully. They aren't usually the type to bother wanting to deal figuring out some iron clad wording and anything they perceive as a betrayal is dealt with violently, not by some sort of formal court procedure and advocates where the wording instead of the intent matters.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Our leader is a half-orc, and some orcs are lawful evil. I'm inclined to think the sort of orc chieftain who'd rise to the top in a large horde would have a higher chance than average of being lawful, and if the Horde is to work there will still be some 'understood rules.'<br/><br/>But you're right, 'Laws' was probably too strong a word to use. ;)<br/><br/>I intend for Drahz to spend quite a bit of time in that fuzzy ground between 'duelling' and 'beating the shit out of someone who's irritated you.' The person on the other end of the blade can consider it what they like, but Drahz will consider it a justifiable duel due to his alignment. If the other person 'cheats' by his standards, so much the better, it provides all the more reason to take him down hard.<br/><br/>His background already contains one example of him trying to take over a large group and discovering that he wasn't quite powerful enough to create so much fear that people didn't try to assassinate him.<br/><br/>He's working on that. ;)
