Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting - For any character that emphasizes melee combat while dual-wielding two weapons, this is your target feat. Likewise the feat is a foundation for Valeria's build, allowing Intelligence to increase her Wizard spells, the damage she inflicts with her melee attacks, and her skill point distribution. I describe this build in the walkthrough for Storm of Zehir. It is this feat that underlies a Swashbuckler / Duelist build that can have Intelligence enhance bonus damage, and armor class. I'll describe some examples.Ĭombat Insight - Allows a character to substitute the Intelligence bonus for the Strength bonus, if the former is higher, when it comes to bonus damage for a melee strike. Some feats will just take your character's performance to a whole other level, sometimes to the point that they're the very reason for designing a build a certain way. Now for some specific guidelines, along with specific examples along the way. In other words, even your development from levels 1 to 20 should be done with foresight of how the character will further develop during levels 21 to 30.

If you plan to play either or both of the Mask of the Betrayer and the Storm of Zehir expansions, then it helps to plan the development of an epic build from the moment you first create your characters.

In addition to guidelines for effective development, I also offer some additional advice with specific reference to planning for the epic levels, the 21st to 30th levels.
