Ken of the Woods (Character Description).

/ Character idea, Work in Progress. /

Desired build: Monk 12 / Fighter 1 / Weaponmaster 7.

At level 12 monks get diamond soul power, which grants resistance to spells (SR 22 at level 12).

Game-mechanics-wise, there's no point in advancing over level 7 with weaponmaster class, as there are no worthwhile powers above this level. Level 7 weaponmaster is optimal. The only reason to have 8+ levels in weaponmaster class is roleplaying reasons.

Worthy feats:
- Blind Fighting - helps a lot versus invisible or hardly seen foes, including magicians who cast invisibility spells.
- Mounted Combat - mounted combat is superior to combat on feet,

If Ken will have too few feats to choose from as he levels, mounted combat feat can be acquired from appropriate magic item.

Worthy skills:
- Ride: mounted combat is superior to combat on feet, and riding skill is symbolically related with skill in sex (in medieval ages, when a boy wasn't skilled in horseback riding at agre of 7, it was said that he was suitable only for being a priest/cleric).
- Tumble - for defensive acrobatics,
- Discipline - for resisting advanced combat tricks/feats,
- Concentration - for roleplaying reasons and for resisting taunts,
- And perhaps Lore - for roleplaying reasons, knowledge of Kara-Tur and other, and for identifying items to sell them better,

Weapon of choice: Eastern Scimitar - Liuyedao: Known as the 'willow leaf saber', this is the most common form of Kara-Turan (Far Eastern) saber, featuring a moderate curve along the blade.

Character Ideas:

Western Warrior Yogin, who practices Eastern Martial Arts.

Planned romance with Crystal.

Brother Of Adeli and of Anheim.

/ I'll create this character on narfell server when I'll have portrait picture art for him. /
