andvaare: @InEffect What other games are you currently playing/writing guides for?

Xelran: I was checking a bit around and looked at some of your builds to learn why you did, what you did.

One thing I noticed about your "Degenerate Druid" build is that it leaves you with 1 point left.
Wouldn't it be better to remove 1 point in con and put 1 into dex to end up with [7 16 14 14 19 7] with 0 points to spend instead of [7 15 15 14 19 7] with 1 point left or am I missing something?

Also you never mentioned it but I guess you picked Animal Companion over Animal Domain?

InEffect: you are missing the fact that profane amulet is -3 to all physical stats, so we need odd numbers there.

andvaare: I got very sceptical about Atom RPG after Nerdgamecommando voiced very strong critique about it, "[..] boring piece of shit". I´ve played a lot of Underrail though which I really enjoy.

Gear: Mithral Plate, +Stat belt, +Stat hat, Ac gear.
BIS: Onslaught, Absolver/Castigator cloak, gyronna amulet, Ring of circumstances, Dreamer ring, Alkali gloves, Opportunist’s boots, Redeemer. Perfection.

Longsword was picked to avoid spending a feat. Also Redeemer+Perfection is a nice combo. Both are from artisan, one of them is a masterpiece, but at least they are present in the game and achievable bit past midgame if you are perfect with your kingdom management.. If you really want bastard swords you’d likely need a crafting mod to cheat them in.
Swap Armor Focus for Eotic Weapon proficiency of you really want to.

Max melee AC is 68 with all gear Legendary proportions, transformation, and a shield spell. 64 ranged AC 34/30 touch(nothing can be done).

Could abuse monk gear for more AC, but I’m unsure if that’s what you wanted. Drop armor focus, be LG, pick scaled fist. Grab +8bracers, Protector robes and you will have about 6 ac more and 10 extra touch AC. Those are just realities of monk vs heavy. Either should be fine on challenging and below. Monk is probably better for hard and I wouldn't do this sort of things on unfair

Crane wing/riposte work with whatever weapon set as of now.

Shield is self-sustainable with lesser extend wands. Or employ jubilost for that. You wont say no for extra transformation casts from him either. And you need Jubilost for echolocation in endgame anyways.

DSMTyralion: Hi In_Effect, I was thinking about using this build as a base for a two weapon fighter with DEX.
I was thinking to keep the Monk-Dip and the 9 Figher-Levels for Effortles Dual-Wield, and fill the rest with Vivisectionist. Or would Slayer be better? As far as I know more attacks vs. more sneak-attack dice.
I would remove the Dragon Diciple because DEX-build. Is the bard needed? What is it for anyways?
Do you think that would be viable? I would use your idea of going armorless, so Scaled Fist. Ditch Armor Focus etc. and get Weapon Finesse and I think slashing grace (?).

Or would you suggest somethink completly different for Dex Two Weapon Fighting?
Keeping Alchemist would be nice I think for the self buffs, Shield etc.
