I. Introduction 01.00.00
The purpose of this guide is to help our readers discover the optimum builds
for their characters in the game Dragon Age: Origins. For the most part, the
builds are geared towards group play. However most of them will do fine in
solo or duo play.
We have chosen to focus on not only the most popular builds, but also the most
effective. The 2 most noticeable builds we have left out are Warrior Archer
and Warrior Dual-Wielders. We have decided to leave these builds out because
Rogues filling those 2 roles just plain do it better. When Awakenings
releases, if these builds are a better build we may decide to add them to the
guide. For the time being you will have to suffice with these 8 builds.
*******************************************************************************
II. Recognition 02.00.00
I would like to give special thanks to Ripstrawberry, who helped me compile the
vast majority of the information in this guide. Thanks should also go out to
Tonberry who helped in the early stages of this guide before losing himself in
Dissidia. I would also like to thank my wife for putting up with me while I
wrote this guide.

VII. Mages 07.00.00
Mages are, quite obviously, the master of magic. The great thing about mages
in Dragon Age: Origins is that they can fill many roles. This guide will focus
on 2 specific mage builds, the spell-flinger and the shapeshifter. The spell-
flinger is your traditional mage with lots of spells at their disposal they can
lock down and debuff enemy mobs, buff your party, heal, and do some decent
damage. Shapeshifters are a slightly different breed of mage that use their
spells to debuff the mobs then shift into an animal form and join in melee
combat.
*******************************************************************************

Origin 07.10.01
******

Magic stat.
Stats 07.10.02

Mage Shapeshifter Build 07.10.00
Origin 07.20.01
******
Human mages make the best shapeshifters since they build plays more like a DPS
warrior with some magic, rather than a mage that can get up close and personal
with the mobs.
Stats 07.20.02
*****
Shapeshifters should put their attribute points into Maguc until they get it to
31 (before the bonuses from the Fade) and then put the rest of their points

VIII. Rogues 08.00.00
Rogues are the masters of physical damage and trickery. Whether attacking from
range with a bow and arrows, getting in their licks from melee range with
daggers, or scouting the field in stealth, no party seems to be complete
without a rogue.
*******************************************************************************
Rogue Sniper Build 08.10.00
Origin 08.10.01
******
Human nobles make the best snipers.
Stats 08.10.02
*****
Snipers focus on 2 attributes, Dexterity and Cunning. Snipers need a certain
amount of Dexterity to wield their weapons and obtain the highest tier of
archery talents. Cunning is the attribute that determines damage. Snipers
should put their points into Dexterty until they have 26 (before the Fade
bonuses) and then put the rest of their points into Cunning. It is worth
mentioning that if you do create a Human Noble Sniper you should put 3 of your
points at character creation into Cunning so you will be able to open every
chest in your origin story. After this put your points into Dexterity up to 26
as mentioned earlier.

Specializations 08.20.05
***************
The recommended specializations for this build are Bard at level 7 and Assassin
at level 14. You can learn the Bard specialization from Leliana after getting
her approval up just a little bit. By talking to her in your first party camp
after Lothering you should have her approval more than high enough to get her
to teach you to be a Bard.
