My goal is to take out doors, walls, trees, and everything else like I was kicking a puddle of water. Something like... Fighter6/Barbarian1/Binder1. Maul of the Titans. Dungeon Crasher Class Feature. Destructive Rage feat. Binding Aym.

I'm betting on a Lyre of Building for this challenge. "Once a week its strings can be strummed so as to produce chords that magically construct buildings, mines, tunnels, ditches, or whatever. The effect produced in but 30 minutes of playing is equal to the work of 100 humans laboring for three days." I imagine that large patches of forest could be magically harvested for the lumber of "building projects"... heck, optimizing Fabricate could do this too. Digging tunnels and ditches under pre-existing walls and other structures could be bad for them... also, I imagine they could be "scavenged" for use as raw materials for subsequent castings of Fabricate or Lyre use as well. I wonder if Control Weather, with subsequent castings of Control Winds could be more devastating. "Hurricane force winds (75+ mph) destroy wooden buildings, sometimes uproot even large trees, and cause most ships to founder." "A tornado (175+ mph) destroys all nonfortified buildings and often uproots large trees."

The Warforged Juggernaut nets you an additional +5 to destroy objects. Taking Destructive Rage and Reckless Rage would grant you a +8 to destroy objects and a total of +18 strength when raging and frenzy. So the total strength should be, 18 base str, +5 tome, +5 levels, +6 item, +18 Rage/Frenzy=52 strength So the total bonus to burst objects would be +21 Str +8 Destructive rage +12 Fighter levels +5 Warforged Juggernaut +46 As long as you can roll a 4, you can rush through 3 ft of Hewn stone (break DC 50)

#7 altpersona Mar 24, 2008 18:20:01	Combat Engineer , dragon mag, ignore 10pts of hardness adamandine ignores hardness, is it 20pt max?

Alternatively, you can target shatter against a single solid object, regardless of composition, weighing up to 10 pounds per caster level. The best plan of attack is probably to go wizard or cleric and buff your caster level through the roof. Use one of those infinite caster level loops (I'm sure there is one) and shatter the world.
