Also, don't rely on this as your sole tank. You'll need Death Blow as this build can really make a tear through stamina. Reaver can then be developed to provide Devour and Frightening Appearance as utility powers. Berserker should be developed first to provide static damage output. If you're inclined towards developing your Grey Warden as a two-handed weapon Warrior, a good build is actually to combine Berserker and Reaver together. Once it kicks in, the target becomes a sitting duck for Sten's sword swings. His high Strength greatly reduces the odds of its target being able to resist it. I script him to use this when his health is less than 50%.įrightening Appearance - This can be quite devastating in Sten's hands. Again, it is not cumulative.ĭevour - An occasionally useful ability whereby Sten recoups health from the dead bodies of any fallen enemies. Sten will be scripted to use it against heavily armored targets.ĭestroyer - Whereas Sunder Armor is an activated talent, Destroyer is a passive talent that always has the latent ability on a given blow to give its target a -5 penalty to armor.

Sunder Armor - An activated talent that, if it hits, will reduce the target's armor by 20. Shattering Blows - A passive talent that increases Sten's power against Golems and such. This often leads to pulling off the Shatter combo for frozen targets. If Sten gets surrounded, I script him to unleash this so that it hits all of his foes around him and knocks them back as well.ĭeath Blow - Sten is a heavy hitter so Death Blow can be triggered quite often, recouping Sten's stamina whenever he kills his target.Ĭritical Strike - I have Sten scripted to use this on any enemy that can't move. Two-Handed Sweep - A nice ability that combines offense and defense. Two-Handed Strength - A passive ability that lessens the penalties from Powerful Swings. Stunning Blows - Another nifty passive ability that gives Sten a chance to stun his opponent with any blow that lands. Strength 28 Dexterity 15 Will 15 Magic 12 Cunning 10 Constitution 13īravery - An awesome passive talent that increases combat prowess depending on how numerous your foes are.
