[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Portho Nihilbuck]

So I would need some serious magic to make that light sword usable.  I'm not what one would call charismatic.  Now a large bastard sword, would that approximate a greatsword to a medium?

Portho can use the force sword easily thanks to UMD +19 and having already triggered it before.  The issue where it should go to someone else is Portho would rather avoid melee when at all possible, sowiould not use it often.

But if i read correctly in Portho's hands it would be a +5 bastard sword he would have to wield two handed, with the off-size penalty

so overall a +3 attack bonus, +5 damage bonus.  that is a LOT better than my current +1 rapier lol.

Our DM approved the XXX of Alter. We must buy for you.
With +6 natural armor, medium size, and this  sword you become a very good warrior. ?

Oh here is where the Cape of Alter self was from.. I see what you mean.. alter self to a Lizardfolk or troglodyte..  get size increase to my Strengrth of +2, wield it one handed rather than two so I keep my shield, and get the +5 or +6 natural armour.

With BAB +6/+1   Strength bonus +1 sword bonus +5 he'd have +12/+7 Attack and do 2d6+6 damage, plus add in bard song for another +2 hit and damage, and his spellcasting and yes he'd ne'd be pretty good, though not as good as a dedicated 8th level warrior class would be..  Considering I have alter self on the Bard spell list and would not even need UMD for that I'd save and just get a wand of alter self though   4500gp for 50 charges.
