Monk might make a good dip, but a Cat doesn't seem to get much benefit from the abilities I'd get from two levels. I'll brainstorm some values and post the current skeleton (read: the 3 Magical Beast HD and his starting bonus feats) with the purchased values. Then again, undead don't have a Con score, but they can still have rules as playable characters. I figured a pointbuy would be an invalid direction for this character since he naturally starts with an Int score predetermined, meaning I only have 5 stats to spend points on, thus invalidating the process, so I've been working with a cat's base values this whole time. Getting the other stuff in first is more important, and if you rolled well and got 27 Int, well, get those swashy levels. You could get Dex to 26 at first class level (assuming you do have a point buy), and Int would be stuck at 23-ish unless you roll really well, and might end up just 20.īut basically you don't need to decide, now. On the long run I would stick to maximising Dex (and getting synergies to run from there with some dex to damage) and just keeping the high Int as a bonus.
You will gain 6-7 points to damage (granted, per attack) for three mediocre levels. Swashbuckler is a mediocre class, and I'm not sure this will be worth it. It would be even more nifty if you could get lots of bonuses as extra-ordinaries that don't show up on Detect Magic. It can just run about everywhere and won't be minded, as long as it's not wearing a full-plate armour and carring a moutpick glaive.(That would be stupid, anyway.) So basically, it would be nice to look inconspicuous and not wear armour. And one of the nifty roleplaying aspects of a house cat is, well, it's a fricken CAT. My reasoning is, you're playing a melee character with heavy dipping, anyway, and monk can get you a lot of feats in two levels. The closest we can get is deleting the half HD when we get the first class level.
4 HD would be be pushing the playable area, and we can't keep half HD. And if it's just because we want go get a playable concept here, and not some brainfart. I don't see any precedent for what happens with half HD when you add more. Ok, strictly speaking I was supposing this.
