Can anyone give me a level 10 build for a Scythe Expert? I realize 10 levels isn’t much, but my friend and brother wanted to do a fun little dungeon hack thing, but we have to try something new, so any ideas?

I prefer a build centered on a Scythe, but anything fun will do.

feral anthropomorphic giant squid with a ring of sustenance...

seriously, you really need to be more specific if you want us to help you.

i can suggest a good weapon master build built around the scythe but i'm not sure if that's allowed in your campaign so...

Something like Ftr2/Rog3/Barb5 gives you 6 feats to play with, uncanny dodge II, Rage x2, evasion, sneak +2d6, +10 move, and trap sense +2.

For feats I would take dodge, mobility, spring attack, wf scythe, power attack, hamstring.

The thing is, I have no idea what I want to do, I am very indecisive. Therefore, i am asking for anything funny, yet reasonable, to play as.

is it 3.0 or 3.5? what books are allowed? can you use templates? these are questions i need answered if i'm to assist you. i don't want to sound like a dick or anything but i can't just throw out builds, that's what the search button is for...

I did try searching, couldnt find anything as it doesnt seem to work too well.

Ok, for clarification, 3.5, Core, CW, BoED, plus some 3.0: FCS, Magic of Faerun, DoF, MotW, Psionics, blah.

We have a very incomplete setup, but I am new to 3/3.5 and am just getting started.

On templates, as long as they are within reason, nothing too crazy.

Hope thats enough.

thank you kindly. now for a very basic build:

Half-ogre Bar 2/Ftr 4/Frenzied berzerker 3

Feats:
1)intimidating rage
3)destructive rage
3)power attack (ftr bonus)
4)cleave (ftr bonus)
6)wpn focus: scythe
6)specialization: scythe (ftr bonus)
9)improved critical: scythe

spend 10K on an item that emulates the extra rage feat or take it instead of wpn. specialization and grab a scythe with the following enchantments: +1, acidic burst, and shocking burst

despite the general concensus that the "burst" enchantments are not worth it, i disagree. on a weapon that has a X4 critical multiplier dealing an additional 6D10 points of elemental damage is pretty good.

kill bodies with your 10 ft. reach and uber strength.

as i said, basic but highly effective

If you really want to center around 1 weapon, you could take the Kensai PrC. Just find some way to get Diplomacy 5 ranks...

Maybe Paladin1/Figther4/Kensai5

You get W.Focus/Specialisation/Improved Crit (Scythe)
And your weapon can be +5 equivalent... nice...
