Dae's Ultimate Level 1 no Muling Power Leveling Guide

[Ewe]

Often times my friends might make a level 1 alt and want to grind it up. I'm asked a lot to make a character to help level with them initially.

I think I've finally come up with the ultimate level 1 no muling build to help power level people. So without further ado, here's the build:

Strongheart Halfling level 1 fighter with 16 str, 18 dex, 14 con, 8 int, 8 wis, and 8 cha.

You put all 4 of your skillpoints into cross classing appraise to 2.

Then you pickup feats: Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus (Throwing Axe), and Rapid Shot.

Once you land in BG from caravan you do the Rat and Scarecrow quest to get your gp up to 1,250gp. Then you head to the blushing mermaid basement and talk to Tommy Shackles. Just keep repeating the intimidate dialogue option until it passes, don't waste 50gp. He sells Cryptrunner's Axes (50) for around 1050gp depending on appraise. You should be able to buy one set. Then head over to the Thayan's Guild Shop, you should be able to buy 1 Heroism potion (which will last for a long time once used).

Cryptrunner's Axes have:
Alchemical Silver
Damage Bonus vs. Undead: 1d4, Damage Bonus: Divine: +2, Enhancement Bonus: +4

This is an insane weapon for the graveyard, and with fighter and all your ranged feats and bonuses plus heroism potion your AB will be very high for the CR and can be used safely at range. Optionally you can activate rapid shot to fire two axes per round, but I would probably not do this unless using regular axes until you get your funds up.

Next step is to toggle OFF your experience gain with the feat. Then head over to Blunt and buy as many regular throwing axes (50) as backup as you can. They will only cost 1gp each, but you need at least 6gp to buy one. So if you have 10gp left you can buy 5 sets.

Within your first 50 kills with those axes you should be able to get enough loot to sell to buy more axes and potions and if you keep your level to 1 you'll help boost your friends quickly.

So the idea is to create a character to help others level? Just asking to make sure I understood correctly.

[Ewe]

Yes.

Here's a screen cap of the build. 14 AB, 19AC, ~20ish dmg per hit (Bonus points if you can explain how 1d6+3+4 can hit 16 physical.)

One extra point of damage comes from point blank shot, the others I am still uncertain....

[Tsidkenu]

Level 1 with +14 AB.

This build gave me a chuckle.

TAKE THAT, BRAINDEAD ZOMBIE!
