Mar 31, 2009 16:20:36 I am trying to optimize a character to have the highest AC it can, as well as spell resistance and saves, any idea? I was thinking of making him a race that has natural SR and then pally/hexblade/monk/fist of forest/then make him into a phantom for some Cha to AC, hell I dunno.

Any recommendations? This is an npc who may be the villain, haven't decided, so gear isn't a big deal and any book goes.

Pixie swordsage (Unarmed varient)/Shaman (OA)/RKV/XXX.

If you go the shadowhand route, grab Shadowblade (Dex to Attack and Damage), Cha to Saves, Animal companion, Spontaneous casting. Grab VOP, boost your Wis/Dex/Cha is a close 3rd position on the stat's. So if you go with VOP around lvl 20, you should have a +8 into wis, +6 into Dex, +4 into Cha, +2 into con.

Or go with a Warlock/shaman/ED/Monk 1/XXX with Vow of poverty around lvl 21st. NOT in this exact order. If you want exact, I would go Monk 1, Warlock 1/Shaman 5/ED 10/XXX

That way you can buy the book's to raise your stat's, if dont right you get an AC of atleast 40+, and your invisible if you go pixie lol.

Boring the players to death is not a very good strategy though.
