Temple of Elemental Doom taught me that I hate giving free AoO's to Ogre's with +7 to hit because of their massive Strength.  I want Spring Attack.

Me too!  I would also like to cross-class into Mouser (Swashbuckler).

Where's the common sense? Plug away at it from outside melee range with bows.

Giants tend to have enough health to wade through a few rounds of ranged combat, so you want blockers for your ranged support (while they're hucking boulders at you in return, I might add).  I do have a bow, and non-adventurer strategies likely involve a lot of long spears to negate the advantage of their reach, but those are a bitch to carry around while climbing, leaping, and such as we adventurer-types tend to do.

Besides, I need to be true to my spirit animal:

-can't help but laugh at that pic- true u less you're shooting them with telephone poles

We call those ballista, where I come from.

Sadly, you can't carry one of those around in your pocket. I checked this. :/

[Snake]

I call it gravity bow + enlarge person. :p

[PhantomPistoleer]

Who is this?  It kind of looks like the original marine from Doom.

Enlarge person doesn’t work on bows, sadly.

[Snake]

I thought a throw away line had and effect,  it also enlarges your equipment. I may be misremembering that Tho admittedly

[PhantomPistoleer]

It does say that, but it goes on to say that any equipment that leaves your body, including projectiles, revert to their normal size.

[Snake]

Carry huge class arrows in a bag of holding?

Damn, that is a really good idea.

[Chulanowa]

so I'm not 100% certain what class I'm going for yet. i'm leaning stronk towards fighter, but don't wanna step on THorne's toes... Maybe barbarian, or the world's least effective Bard / Skald (A charisma-based class with a Dwarf on 15-points? OUCH) But i do know that she's gonnabe one of the following...

I can't get the PHB to come up for me. Can someone pm me the traits?

Dwarf Training Trait from the Player's Guide <_<

edit:  But, yes, given that Ogres are the weakest Giant I can name off the top of my head and they're CR3, I didn't expect them to come out swinging right from the word go.  If they get thick enough later though, laying the groundwork for an anti-giant build early is important (especially since Society play doesn't allow retraining, last I checked).

That actually gets discussed in the intro the second adventures. The writers came up with some interesting workarounds, but they also felt like Ogres were cheating, so the first two adventures get a lot of mileage out of orcs. The final dungeon though? Crawling with giants.

Oh, and that's also not to say Ogres don't show up! There are some pretty awesome ones around.

[Snake]

I think I may use the orphaned by giantkind

[Muse]

Now now, picks aren't until the 15th and submissions are pretty Martial heavy at the moment.  Isn't it a little soon to be giving up, Muse?

Sorry about the sulky moment.  ^_^;;  It's just hard to put in work to get a character 90% done before I know if I'll be accepted or not. 

*laughs*  Okay, I've just wounded my own gamer pride. 

You can expect fire haired elven mage who's gown only really stays up because of her prestidigitation cantrip sometime in the next 18 hours. 

[Snake]

Martial heavy cuz low lvl Mages in pf  suck. Hard. Now if cantrips workee as they do in 5e then they get better

[Muse]

  Cantrips are infinite in Pathfinder.  And generally they got a class feature that keeps them competitive at first level. 

[Snake]

At a piddly 1d3 of damage. If you got no fallback you've just lost your impact if you're a blaster

[GunmetalDreamer]

Someone hasn't read the 1996 Doom comic.  It's pretty peak 90's.

[Hunter]

Where's the common sense? Plug away at it from outside melee range with bows.

And people wonder why I love clerics with negative channel.   Good luck!   ;D

[Envious]

It takes me too long to make a character. So many options to read through!  :P

Pfft.

[Snake]

High level magic at its best.

And now Im considering a support caster wizard.
