Was good to meet you all last night, despite CFG having that power issue. We covered a lot of ground and I am not only happy with how quickly we progressed but also how quickly we were able to loosen up and establish a common ground while creating our party. Still no word from our other 2 players so lets assume that it's just whomever showed up last night. On the issue of character creation, our Ranger has opted to switch from being the typical human to the Maenad race to utilize the outburst and the scream special abilities (outburst, 1/day, 4 rounds each -2 INT & WIS for +2 STR and scream is 1d6-1 25 ft + 5 ft / 4 lvs; feat can make it 1d6+1 with a FORT save or be deafened 1/day). I would like the groups opinion on feats though; I can give him feats to make him the standard front line warrior (cleave and others to augment his favored enemy attack abilities) or I can bolster his ability to use his racial special abilities more often and with greater effect. Not sure how the group would like their front liner to go about it or even if DM sees this race as a viable option. Lemme know whatcha think guys; I already have his stats and skill selections in place for both Human and Maenad builds JIC. I just need a general lean-to direction for feats (I gave him the SHAKY flaw which is -2 to all ranged attacks so this scream ability would be his only ranged option and combined with the deafening ability that could make dealing with some of the casters we'd encounter a little easier).
