How to Ogre!!! Build Advice

Post by Heartless_One » Fri Feb 02, 2018 6:17 am

So I know I'm jumping the gun as I still have to earn the reward, but it's what I really want to play so im putting in the time/effort/work to get it. That being said, it's not something I take lightly. I want to make a character that I really enjoy + be decent within the game. I know that as an Ogre/creature that PVP is eventually going to happen. I would like some advice on possible Ogre builds/concepts. I'll list what I have in mind and hopefully let yall go from there :). Any advice is appreciated.

Melee Version. (Due to -int, wpmst is not a viable option.)
Straight 30 Rage Barb. Greatsword/TS (Gs/Gs if its possible: will edit for dual wield variant)
3/4 str 1/4 con

Ogre Magi
Could use some help here as I am less familiar with casters on Arelith. Sorcerer would be the staple of the class.

My main goal with the character is fun. Certainly fun is different per individual, but an Ogre in itself is a cool concept. That alone will be fun. I would like to be pvp viable and still handle myself in pvm. I often play with friends and will hopefully be able to find said Ogre a clan. Fun is best with others :)

I went with a really stupid,strong and hearty pure barbarian Kensai. I kinda wish I had of went sorcerer though. Pure fighter would be cool. Hard to work around the poor int.

I wonder if there's a damage progression for large-sized monks, similar to small-sized monks?

And hey, they get str/con bonuses, no wis penalty, and the dex penalty isn't TOO huge...

That's disappointing. Is that something that could be fixed?

Make a deeply philosophical and careworn Wizard/Monk who fears for the ogre society's backwardness and violent nature. Her sole life's mission is to bind a scripture to show her people the path to a world where harmony is built not on culling the weak so that the strongest stuff may thrive but on the quality of one's mind and heart to adopt the Elven way of life.
