Hey, I wanna play an earth genasi barbarian. Ideally, I'd put 20 in STR and CON but I don't really want to miss useful fighting feats because of low DEX, INT and WIS. Any advices ? What combat feats would be great for this char ?

Thank U in advance,
Yigor

I started to play with stats 20/13/16/13/6/6. I'm planning to progress later as Frenzied Berserker.

Try Fighter/Barbarian/Weapon Master/Frenzied Berserker

DEX:13 INT:13 are a must for Weapon Master and some feats and STR should be 20 and rest in CON

Greatsword + Improved power atack always on and watch those insane crits

If you want insane crits, go with scythe. Might not crit that often, but you can't do more damage with a melee weapon when you do. Just a thought.

I guess you are talking about MotB, 'cause weapon master alone needs 6 feats that means 7 levels, and you must have 7 levels with weapon master to get Ki critical. So you'll be level 15 when you become a barbarian and you'll need 3 more feats to become frenzied berserker.
But if you succeed, you'll hit criticals with hundreds of damage and with great cleave you'll kill any one under 100 hp in the first round!

To stay on topic; you need cleave, great cleave and power attack for frenzied berserker. As a barbarian you wont get so many feats, so get the required feats asap and improved power attack later. Knockdown is good for any melee char. Improved initiative is good for every char.

Thanx a lot! Yeah, I've chosen Power Attack and Cleave so far. I need only Great Cleave in order to qualify as Frenzied Berserker. I'll think later about Weapon Master. I have time anyway before I could qualify for it.

Yeah, scythe is a funny weapon but two-handed swords and axes are great as well.

Enemies suck in the beginning on "very difficult", I've installed 2 enhancements by Tony K and Reeron. They seem to be slightly tougher now. I modified also diffsettings.2DA and encdifficulty.2DA files but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to increase difficulty ?

Tc, Yigor

You can always try soloing, but it is not recommended.

Enemies always suck at the beginning of the OC. Just be patient, they will get much tougher as you progress, so be careful with how high you have set the difficulty meter.

Yeah, I'm now working on 1/2-HoF mode cuz full Heart of Fury would be near impossible with NWN2 engine.
