How would I go about this build using Prismatic?
Went with: STR:18 [20] DEX:8[6] CON:16[16] WIS: 11[11] INT: 9[8] CHA:8[10]

Went with: STR:18 [20] DEX:8[6] CON:16[16] WIS: 11[11] INT: 9[8] CHA:8[10] - FyreChyld *Edited As long as you have at least a 16 con, the other abilitie scores can be changed around. The constitution is the only ability score that has to be 16, otherwise you will not have enough constitution to get Epic Damage Reduction 9/-. NOTE: With the change to the two-handed weapons, Im now trying this build with a Two-Bladed sword. a 12-20x3 Crit ratio is better then a 18-20x4. Although I wont do as much dmg to crit-immune creatures. There are more non-crit immune creatures. Azhgal- Thanks for telling me lol, I had a bunch of errors in my numbers. rofl, fixed them though.

Instead of Scythe, Greataxe, or any large weapon, I went with Kukri. I was asking around and a Kukri would work for an RDD just fine.

Is kukri not a Tiny weapon? Will this not cause problems with a Large RDD?

This is actually a down-side to a weapon, as it will hit the highest damage resistance of a foe. If a foe has 10/- slash, 30/- pierce resists, a scythe hit will have 30 pts of damage reduced.

Is kukri not a Tiny weapon? Will this not cause problems with a Large RDD? Yes, Probably. Large characters can't wield daggers (also tiny) and therefore probably can't wield Kukris either. Also, FYI: Large size characters get an AB penalty (-1) which is the opposite of the bonus halflings get for being small (+1). Size modifier - NWNWiki[/color] Not sure if that applies to RDDs though.

The RDD shapechange isnt just a visual, because it allows you to use the large weapons, therefore I believe it would count. If you want to use a decent weapon and still get a low crit range, try a Scimitar or Rapier. IMO, Id go for the double-weapon seeing as why waste the RDD ability to use large weapons with one hand. especially since now the double-edged weapons can get a very low crit. Greatsword works fine as well.

Shapestrong barbarians seem to be the only Large creatures to get much bonus out of Double-Weapons. Large Creatures do not get he normal off-hand attacks, and only get the Bonus 2 attacks if their off-hand is empty.

It does, however, use the lower damage immunity. So if a foe has 50% slashing immunity and no piercing immunity, the scythe may well be better. Acaos

Large Creatures do not get he normal off-hand attacks, and only get the Bonus 2 attacks if their off-hand is empty. Well... I look at it this way.. I couldve taken my RDD scimitar, but thats only 12-20x2, I went with a two bladed sword because its 12-20x3, whereas my scythe was only 18-20x4. My current build can take alot of hits, and deal mediocre damage, but hopefully with an increased crit ratio, the drop is Crit multiplier should not be such an issue. Plus the 5 attacks I get from my scythe compared to the 5 attacks Ill get from a two-bladed sword with the crit ratio.. More dmg is going to be dealt overall. Midnite

Would a dwarven waraxe be good as well? I see RDDs running around with Kamas, bastard swords, scythes, and many other weapons. Just wondering as I like the small axes (dwarven waraxe, battleaxe). I also found Dragonblooded so I am gonna build this with that.

Dwarven waraxe would be useful. If u used battleaxe you wouldnt have to take wpn prof. Exotic and youd free up an extra feat.
