The campaign I am currently in my halfling is a master thief with no focus on damage. I steal everything from our enemies. We are playin the world wound campaign and I snuck past two mythic enemies to shatter the ward stone while my party held the line. My stealth is through the roof. 5th level character and before I roll I have a 32 and I took the filcher archtype. I found every way I could to stealth and sleight of hand. My sleight of hand isn't anywhere near as nice, but its still fairly decent. 17 base and my opponents get a -2 to notice my theft. Steal combat maneuver uses my sleight of hand rather than my CMB, but I gain any bonuses to my sleight of hand that I would get to my CMB from all sources pertaining to steal combat maneuver. So Improved Steal would give me a +2 to sleight of hand, because it would normally give me +2 to CMB for stealing in combat. My acrobatics is pretty nice too. I do fairly decent damage, but its not my main focus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044476026214232217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534782797790619934.post-33941499883014354272016-05-31T06:44:55.948-07:002016-05-31T06:44:55.948-07:00I played a halfling cavalier once who deal awesome...I played a halfling cavalier once who deal awesome damage thanks to Power Attack+ Risky Striker.

He was a character added into an ongoing campaign while I was in town visiting relatives. I made good use of feats and flanking to offset the damage of his small rapier. My character's DEX was high and his accuracy was through the roof, so even though I didn't always hit hard, I almost always it. The increased critical threat range for the rapier also helped, and the dice were good to me. When I left that game the other players truly believed my gnom was the greatest swordsman who ever lived.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16081994661458300126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534782797790619934.post-66979354240612469842016-05-15T17:42:25.389-07:002016-05-15T17:42:25.389-07:00good article! as a person who often plays a gnome,...good article! as a person who often plays a gnome, I find that my damage with melee always is lacking... but I also play a sorcerer so magic is more my focus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031523341197665672noreply@blogger.com
