Hey, I want to try out the following build, probably as STF and would like to ask for some help/feedback for it.
Level 30
Strength: 9
Agility: 27
3 PS
9 ATH
This way I will have 17 skill points left for 3 possible categories which are IF, Shield and WM.
My total gear weight, including 1H weapon is 4.5, so very fragile. If I take a shield, probably steel buckler (weight 3.5) I will have 8 weight. Not sure if this debuffs my athletics too much.
Also I dont know if IF will have any effect on this low-strength build with light armour.
A possible distribution would be
3IF
6 Shield
8 WM
Does this make sense?
Thx for reading, help and feedback!

I'd say max ironflesh out, first off. That six health can be the difference between life and death! With the rest of the points I'd personally favor WM to squeeze any bit of damage boost I could, opting for nine WM lending to something like 180 in one prof and five Shield.
For the ability to use the Steel Shield, which are often used by the AI in town/castle defenses that are going on right now, one less WM is only a loss of 9 points, so that's also viable. The other way around, nine Shield, five WM is also incredible, making the use of lower tier/lighter shields such as the Hide Covered Round Shield become viable options, or just buffing your buckler even more. Whether you go Shield or WM heavy depends on your preference, more protection and utility, or more damage and speed. You could even just stick them both at seven points.
Other than that, remember to hold your attacks for a moment to get the most damage out of your lower power strike, and remember that damage from speed bonus works both ways!

I would do this
Strength: 12
Agility: 27
Hit points: 55
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 4
Power Strike: 4
Shield: 0
Athletics: 9
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 6
One Handed: 156
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1
Extra PS would help a lot. Not to mention the extra 11hp (3 str + 4(2) IF)

I hope you're not planning to use a sword with 3 PS, or you will be very disappointed.
I had this exact build a few gens ago on an alt, I actually planned to go 9 30 to get 10 shield, but I didn't like it at all, so I stopped at 9 27. Sure, the shield lasts forever. So what? You also die to 1 arrow, 1 throwing axe, 1 bolt, 1 teamhit.
But it's certainly worth it to try on an STF alt.

What weapon would you suggest for it? Of course I wont be able to really hurt tincans, I'm aware of that but I thought I could keep light & medium armor opponents busy.
Maybe Spiked Club or Knobbed Mace?

Flanged mace works with 3 ps.

Try Iberian Mace and Military Pick.

surprisingly deadly if used right :wink:
