Sample Character Builds

Strength: 24 Dexterity: 7 Intelligence: 2 Endurance: 15

Preferred Weapons: Heavy 2-Handed (Clubs and Mauls)

Recommended Skills: Heavy 2-Handed, Healing, Critical Strike

✅ Pros:

• Hit hard with heavy two-handed weapons
• Enough strength to carry heavy weapons and plate armor without encumbrance penalties
• High endurance for tanking hits and protecting allies
• High total health = high regen per round

⚠️ Cons:

• Low dexterity = slower movement, fewer criticals
• Lowest intelligence in the game — minimal mana, few spell options (maybe Sorcery for Teleport or Gather the Fellowship only)

💡 Variations: Consider adding some dexterity for Axes, which scale mostly with strength but benefit slightly from dexterity. Example: 19 / 12 / 2 / 15

Strength: 3 Dexterity: 15 Intelligence: 25 Endurance: 5

Preferred Weapons: Daggers, Throwing Daggers

Recommended Skills: Any magic schools you prefer, Meditation

✅ Pros:

• Exceptionally powerful spellcaster
• Can buff, heal, or curse yourself, allies, or enemies
• Can enchant weapons, armor, and accessories

⚠️ Cons:

• Weak in melee combat, limited armor options
• Low health and endurance = fragile
• Encumbrance easily becomes an issue

💡 Variations: Add a few points to endurance for survivability or dexterity for faster cast speed. Alternatively, consider an all intelligence human wizard. Slightly reduced spell power for slightly increased strength and endurance.

Examples:

• 3 / 15 / 22 / 8
• 3 / 20 / 20 / 5 (20/20 Wiz)
• 6 / 11 / 22 / 9 (Human Wizard)
