Apr 11, 2008 16:13:39		Hello, I'm currently trying to get an insane damage dealing character into our campaign.. I just cannot decide what class combo will be the best...

Level:15
Books: All 3.5 minus Eberron / Faerun
Gold: As starting 15
Attributes: 18,18,17,16,14,13(Didn't spend level bonuses)
Alignment: Any non-evil
Race: Doesn't matter.... I personally don't care for LAs
Party Makeup: Mystic Theurg, Effigy Master, Ranger/Rogue, Fighter, Scout, Psion

I would like the best damage with the least amount of prep time...

Not a fan of the 15rounds of buffing to do ungodly amounts of damage.

(Feel free to use the ToB.) Time Stands Still seems pretty sexy. :D


Thank you.

When you get to charge you can do a phenomenal amount of damage. I think a Warlock/Hellfire Warlock/Rogue can deal a nice bit o' damage as well.

Hellfire Warlock+Shape Soulmeld (Strongheart Vest)+Any PRC that advances class abilities=Very strong build that also brings up two controversies.

Perhaps some pouncing Frenzied Berserker style build?

Dip Lion Totem Barbarian (Complete Champion) for pounce.

I'll add to that: dragonborn with flight, a piercing weapon, Bounding Assault, and Leading the Charge.

Take Improved Unarmed and Superior Unarmed Strike as other feats, then get the TWFing tree maxed out. Keep Girallon Arms bound to the Totem Chakra, and Mauling Guantlets bound to the Arms Chakra. Max out the Essentia in both of those melds and in your Spines. Go to town with 9 attacks a round, each of which gets your full Str modifier to damage, and deals a ton of damage normally.


It is a Gatling Gun with .50mm rounds. Do not mess with this build!

Umm, .50mm? Really, don't you think something visible with the naked eye might be more effective? :D

Apr 12, 2008 1:13:42 		Dragonborn (mind) Raptorian
Stalwart, Dragon Blood, Battle Sorcerer (sorc)

Sorc 4, Fighter 1, Dragon Heart Mage 2, Stormtalon 4, Dragon Disciple 2, dragon Heart Mage 2

In that order with the following feats

B (from battle sorcerer) -- MWP(foot bow)
B (from Stalwart) -- MWP(Long Sword)
B (from Stalwart) -- WF(Long Sword)
B (from Dragon Blood) -- Draconic Heritage
1st -- Dragon Tail
Flaw -- Aberant Blood
Flaw -- Inhuman Reach
3rd -- Deepspawn
B (from Fighter) -- Improved Toughness
6 -- Beastial Hide
B (from Dragon Heart Mage) -- Draconic Breath
B (from Dragon heart Mage) -- Draconic Claw
9 -- Durable Form
B (from stormtalon) -- Multi Attack
B (from stormtalon) -- Improved Flight
12 -- Waterspawn
B (from Dragon Heart Mage) -- Draconic Toughness
15 -- Arcane Strike

Full Attack with 8 natural attacks fueled by arcane strike (3rd level spell) has a Attack Bonus +11 (plus str bonus) without other buffs, for damage = 6 x (d6+3d4 + STR Mod) + 2 x (d4 +3d4 + STR Mod)

For your spells I would suggest Fist of Stone, Arms of Plenty, and Evard's Menacing Tentacles.

The full post on this build is under the "Help with a BEAST!" thread on forum page 5 right now.

(I know I've shown it before but it does work.)

.50 cal, 50mm, I can never remember the difference. I'm not a gun expert. I know that one has the "." and the other doesn't.

That too, if you can work it in.

Except that the soulmeld specifically states that it requires you being attacked to work. Naberius is superior.
