12-21-06, 09:28 AM The recent discussion about fighters and their bonus feats made me wonder just how many feats it was possible to get in a legal Living Greyhawk character. This is the best I can come up with.

A Lawful Neutral or Lawful Good human follower of St. Cuthbert:

Ranger 3/Monk 2/Fighter 2/Cleric 1/Wizard 1/Marshal 1/Swashbuckler 1/Hospitaler 1/Reaping Mauler 1/Master Thrower 1/Tattooed Monk 1

It has the following feats:

Alertness, Clever Wrestling, Diehard, Endurance, Improved Grapple, Improved Unarmed Strike, Mobility, Mounted Combat, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Ride-By Attack, Scribe Scroll, Skill Focus(diplomacy), Spell Focus(enchantment), Stunning Fist, Track, Weapon Finesse, and Weapon Focus(club)

It also has your choice of Rapid Shot or Two-Weapon Fighting, your choice of Combat Reflexes or Deflect Arrows, and any four additional feats of your choice.

There's a grand total of 25 feats in 15 levels. Can anyone improve on that? Have I set a record? Would anyone ever actually play this character? :P

12-21-06, 10:11 AM If you subtract a level of ranger and fighter, you'll have a 100% xp penalty. That will allow you to stay at APL 8 forever, slowly accumulating gold and treasure.

That's probably the only way I'd play a character like this.

Check out the character optimization forum if you want to see really silly builds. You might have the record for LG-legal, though.

12-21-06, 10:20 AM It's human, so there is no experience penalty. However, sadly, I made a mistake. I thought St. Cuthbert had the War domain, but he apparently does not.

So the above character only has a meagre 25 feats instead.

12-21-06, 12:14 PM The interesting thing though is you can actually make this build playable - if you go in a Champion of Corellon/Wildrunner direction, it all works out pretty well in the end:
something along the lines of Wood Elf Ranger 3 /Monk 2/Fighter 2/Master Thrower 1/Reaping Mauler 1/Champ of Corellon 2/Wildrunner 2.

Sure, you don't end up with quite the same number of feats, but a near-full BAB build that gets a whole bunch of options. You might need Cleric 1 in there as well for War Domain feat. Not sure off hand.

Or get yanked from play because someone thinks you're avoiding retirement.
