I don't think I even understand the question as you've phrased it...

I think creyzi means if there are specific builds to counter a mage, an orc barbarian or a human paladin. I could be wrong though if he means how to create a build thats the exact opposite of a paladin, orc or mage.

An orc is countered by anything with enough brains.

A mage is countered by a monk with extreme initiative and grapple.

A paladin by a cowardly archer-ranger with high accuracy.

It's easy, he want's uber builds that are anti the 'standard' races or classes.

For example, a paladin is a standard class. He was an anti-paladin type class that is uber.

Dwarfs are a standard race, he is looking for a dwarf-bane class for orcs.

Was that really that hard, granted he didn't write it using a Masters level English degree thingie.

Yes, it is hard.

"Anti-uber builds" translates, in normal, every day English, to "opposite of super builds."

I thought the OP meant builds that are mechanically inefficient. Look, I didn't even need a 100 level college English course to parse that.

So did I, althougth the question seems beyond pointless to me.

WeaveCutterI think you ought to ask this question on the Character Optimisation boards. Because none of those "builds" are über or anti. And D&D doesn't really have antibuilds, particular builds just have weaknesses and others can have a way to take advantage of that.

And why didn't you make clear what the question is really about? Good builds that are highly likely to win versus other good builds? Good builds versus realmsian threats? Please elaborate...

A 0 level commoner apprentice with -10 HP is the most anti-uber build I can think of off hand.

Drowslayer
Anti-paladin
Dwarfbane
UnElminster

For these....
Uber/Anti
Drow/Any Elf
Dwarf/Any goblinoid
Elminster/Manshoon or Szas Tam
Weave/Shadow Weave
They're not builds...but are about as opposite to the subjects that I can think of.

-And, for that Commoner, there are a bunch of good feats in the April 2005 (or was it 2004?) issue of DRAGON magazine.

-Nah, the "Flaws for Commoners" was much funnier:

Chicken Infested
Effect: You have a 50% of pulling out a live chicken when reaching for any item.

Corpse
Effect: You start game play dead, but you get an extra feat!

Delicious
Effect: All monsters attack you, because you taste good.

Dirt Farmer
Effect: You must spend 18 hours every day farming your your leige, and if you don't, he has you killed.

Incomprehensible Accent
Effect: No one can understand what you are saying.

Nagging Cough
Effect: You begin play effected with Mummy Rot.

Peasant Hat
Effect: You begin play with an hat that cannot be removed that gives you a -15 to all Diplomacy checks, and allows others to order you around.

Pig Bond
Effect: You must, at all times, carry a pig that refuses to walk on it's own who's weight is equal to your maximum carrying capacity.

Uninportant NPC
Effect: Nobody cares about you, and you have no name, no family, and never included in dividing loot, and so on.

Weresheep
Effect: You are afflicted with lycanthropy, and can transform into a harmless sheep. When in Sheep form or hybrid form, you gain the effects of the Delicious flaw.

XP Farm
Effect: You are worth 10 times the normal EXP for someone with your CR, making someone very happy.

I know how to break a local economy with a broken flawed 1st level commoner. The feats are quick draw and the feat Chicken infested which has a 50% chance of letting the commoner draw a chicken instaed of a weapon. The first thing in the morning let the commoner quickdraw all his pockets, sheats and quivers to produce an infinate amount of chickens. Feed your family checken stew and sell the rest. Give him close range shot to pelt chickens at his enemies.
