But if you want to use one-handed, it's fine. Not optimal damagewise, but it means you can use a shield which will also have +stats making your build easier to manage.

Also the game is easy enough you shouldn't have issues really. And if you know how to make +str rings you can make a couple of those to help with the strength requirement side of things. I would suggest getting to 7 base speed at some point, but maybe earlier on str or int requirements are going to be more of an issue. You could use know-it-all/bigger and better talents to help (again, they aren't optimal, but personally the aim of the game for me is to build my characters the way they want and then see how they handle tough situations, far too easy to make godlike characters if you choose to).

Just play the way you would like =). Let us know how you get along =).
