Rothuk the Berserker!

Rothuk is a very towering man, standing at seven feet, three inches tall. He uses the Bandos' Fist, a signature Fine Bearded Greataxe made of solid Orichalcum with a Dwarven handle. His hair is dark brown with a shaggy bedhead going to just below his ear. The tightly fitting skin over his muscles is a deep tan due to being out in warm climates. He prefers to wear little armor, saying that a real warrior doesn't need any and relies on dodging and parrying with his blade.

Brandon, I think you've linked to your old sheet. The one you linked still has ST 20 for 100 points and doesn't include bonuses for Outdoorsman or any equipment. Edit: And, he doesn't have Berserk disadvantage, if you wanted to litterally be a "berserker."

I'm using the basic sheet. It doesn't allow me to mess with the point values of my primary attributes for some reason. Also I don't have enough points for Will to take the Berserk disadvantage safely. And I did add the bonuses for Outdoorsman, hence why my nature skills are 14 instead of 10. Edit: Never mind. I don't know why it didn't put my current sheet.
Also this is the closest picture I could find to Rothuk. xD <a href="http://demacros.deviantart.com/art/Barbarian-29210824" rel="nofollow">http://demacros.deviantart.com/art/Barbarian-29210824</a>
Brandon, I just had a thought. We've been forgetting that HP at 20 and above has a number of special rules, most good. For example, shock is reduced, not that you feel shock. Just saying. Remind me in-session tomorrow and we can go over them.

Got you, Stripe. EDIT: Quick question though; Can Signature Gear be used for more than one piece of equipment? Or do I have to spend even more points to get something other than my axe?

New info!: Whilst in the town of resting, Rothuk picked up the art of throwing weapons as well as parrying ranged projectiles!! He used his remaining cash to buy three Throwing Axes and had them enchanted with Flaming Weapon! He should now be a even more deadly force now that he has a ranged attack as well as being able to smack down arrows and spells with his trusty Bandos' Hand! EDIT: Turns out that Rothuk cannot hurl flaming axes of death just yet because they're 15,460 a pop. &lt;.&lt; Ridiculously high priced. But he can still lob regular axes of death up to 30 yards! No one shall be safe from this bloodthirsty, pork loving meat cleaver!
Flaming Weapon, p. M75: Item A weapon that flames whenever used, at no energy cost to the user. Energy cost to create: 750; a $400 ruby must be set in the weapon. 750 * 20 = $15,000

Wait, thought we were going by the DF1 Enchantment table since Flaming Weapon is a 1 minute duration spell in Magic?
I'm not seeing any reduced costs in DF1 ; it is $15,400 on the Magic Weapons and Armor Table , DF1 , p. 30 (the $400 is for the gem). There is a $75 version for arrows on that table, but as stated in a number of places in Magic : "If the item falls in more than one class (weapon, missile weapon, missile), use the higher enchantment cost." Though I do agree that the price is outrageous for +2 follow-up damage and a magic torch. I even wrote a post lamenting the fact on the forums a long time ago. We're going by the books, though! Like Cosmicfish says , "While I do not think that GURPS is perfect I do think that it is more balanced than what I am likely to create by GM fiat." As discussed in-game, Penetrating Weapon is a far better enchantment, and it also costs a third the price.
I already deal 3d+6 damage with them though so I'm going to penetrate most armor to begin with. Penetrating armor doesn't really do much for someone with 20 ST.

Update! Rothuk, after passing out facing a giant troll that could regenerate, &gt;.&gt;, He's honed his skill, gaining the Reach Mastery ability and learned to use both hands with deadly brawn, being able to hit equally well with either arm with his Bandos' Hand!
Another update! Rothuk has decided to sell his mail armor in favor of plate! He now has Plate leggings and sleeves enchanted with Lighten as well as a partial plate top with the same enchantment! <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OJsXy-08pocTYGVRkdQmtgkTthjTEpbKU-siXobsN-c/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OJsXy-08pocTYGVRkdQmtgkTthjTEpbKU-siXobsN-c/edit?usp=sharing</a>

Upon leaving the Dungeon with a new sum of money, Rothuk went out and bought himself the most dapper new loin cloth he could afford! <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FxY3YNZ4mYpPHeEsbG9mXcPlkj0aYEfTb2bxIbTmXJ0/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FxY3YNZ4mYpPHeEsbG9mXcPlkj0aYEfTb2bxIbTmXJ0/edit?usp=sharing</a> He also hasn't spent a dime in CP for saving up for Weapon Master or some other outrageously good Advantage!
