Winter Elf Blue power master Options

[gormaden]

Thanks to Mr Flanners - Ive got a very fun odd race/class mix as a belated Xmas present special -

Just seeking some advice from the more experienced players
In order to increase my chances of survival: do I go for more DAC or LIFE untill I can spend all my hard earns points on self heals (which is post 450pts).
or try get forarm parry as a power master?

What basic life do I have have as a Winter elf power master - same as human as winter elf warriors are better than the usual elven warrior?

forearm parry as your 7th level specialist
Empower bow sticks as your 8th level bo sticks
Buy as Warlock = Watching of yoru dragon as a specialist (+2 DAC for 40 points)

As my elven powermaster I had:

1. Eat 16 lembas per day as Psi-drowe (plus make and carry 16 / day without breaking class restrictions)
2. Lesser self heals - either a 36 / 36 or wound staunch, may not have more lesser self heals than normal self heals

Base life was as a human because Bruno said that were bad enough already as a class...

Basically, if you have forearm parry and a bit of MAC and are careful you should survive for a good while (I am nearly 7K). I would recommend life over DAC initially as life helps in all circumstances and DAC only vs weapon blows but balance it out.

Warrior Masters suffer a little initially in that they have too many options - more warrior or more wizard plus innate totals and buy as Elf. Best try to think of a concept and explore that - buy lots of mana and be a wizardly power master or buy lots of fight stuff and be a fighting powermaster

I have a few half decent non-standards if you are really interested but they are from MCC and Bruno and no idea what Phil would now pass

Cheers

re forearm parry - as a 7th - so persumably will have to be a yellow paper as i currently dont have that option?

Sound terribad - but kind of basing on Raiden (mortal combat) powers and personality of Ip Man -

I'll get my coat.

It's true, Powermasters no longer get forearm parry as a 7th-8th ability, but luckly you get buy as monk, so you buy it for 40 points as a class specialist, no need for yellow paper.

[Onasuma]

Im pretty sure its come up before that buy as monk doesnt let you buy monk specialists skills.

Yes it does. The confusion is in the wording for the Duellist buy-as. Not other classes with buy as monk.

[iainwimble]

Yep Power Masters can spend 40 points and gain forearm parry.

The issue with buying monk specialists arises from the order specialist abilities - which are ONLY for Brightpath/mantis/shadow path - not an alignment appropriate other classs with buy as monk ....

Which IIRC are now 1st class and tables anyway ....

Specialists aren't dependant on order any more. Get with thet third age.

[DaveR]

Unless my En Guarde! is out of date there are order specific post 8th abilities on table 10 + which is to what I was referring (albeit badly)

and the third age sucks !!!!

[Leo]

There are certainly order specific abilities on the tables, but you were talking about order specific specialist skills, which no longer exist.
