| #1lebbiJul 19, 2010 11:06:57 | My idea: a mele dude with insane AC both flat-footed and Touch, insane regen (i.e. Tarrasque) and high damage. Now weather or not this is viable I have no idea, I still have more than a week to do this but I want your help .This is for a dungeon crawl with a 42 point buy, 290k xp and 1.8 million gp starting wealth. Thanks in advance. |
| #2rydi123Jul 19, 2010 11:44:31 | A bit more clarity would be polite... What books for example? Any alternate rules (flaws, LA buyoff, etc.)? What kind of role/class combination do you want (warrior or caster)? What ideas do you have as a starting point? |

This synergizes with Blooded Metamagic. -Monstrous Regeneration: This Synergizes with Construct Essence making you immune to ability damage. -Mighty and Greater Mighty Wallop for massive damage. Ideally wield a Great Axe from the book Diablerie as at medium size it's base damage is 2d10. Be sure to make it Valorous as multipliers make life good. -Wraithstrike -Greater Blink -Divine Power (Via Arcane Disciple) -Haste Anything that grants energy immunity: This covers the holes in your Monstrous Regeneration Taint Notes: -Buy the [Evil] subtype using a ritual in Savage Species. This allows you to store infinite Taint. -Bind Taint Elementals and have them touch you over and over to increase your taint as you like. Metamagic Notes: -You WANT Persistent Spell -Improved Heighten Spell means that Blooded Metamagic can apply all of your metamagic to all of your spells. Item Notes: -Rings of Spellbattle -Belt of Battle -Item that lets you manifest Psionic Lion's Charge. Due to a poorly looked over duration description the granted Pounce feature is permanent. Notes about yourself buffed: -Base AC of at least 60, likely higher. -Damage does not hurt you -Ability Damage does not hurt you -Your attacks are touch attacks -Greater Blink means things have a 50% miss chance against you. |

| #5lebbiJul 19, 2010 15:44:37 | I was hoping to minimize the caster levels and have as much survivability/damage as possible, the DM hasn't banned any books or variants so my guess is all is fair game, but I don't want to be to much of a dooche so pun-pun f.x. would be overkill ;) |
| #6carnivoreJul 19, 2010 16:27:03 | 42 point buy, 290k xp and 1.8 million gp starting wealth. so you mean it is an EPIC game ... 24th + lvl(276000Xp is 24th lvl, 300000xp is 25th lvl) ok .... will try something later ![]() |
| #77he_professorJul 19, 2010 16:32:53 | Here's a quickly thrown-together idea: Warforged Wildshape Ranger 5/Master of Many Forms 8/Warshaper 4/Warforged Juggernaut 2 Feats: (1) Adamantine Body, (3) Alertness, (Ranger 3) Endurance, (6) Improved Natural Attack: Claw, (9) Power Attack, (12) Improved Bull Rush, (15) OPEN, (18) OPEN If you Wild Shape into a War Troll (thanks to MoMF 7) you gets its awesome regeneration ability coupled with high strength and natural armor. If you pay for an item of Scintillating Scales you can transform this natural armor bonus into a deflection bonus, so it applies to touch attacks as well. Also, get an item of acid resistance. Warforged Juggernaut 2 grants you immunity to subdual damage so you are effectively immune to damage, except for acid damage, which bypasses your regeneration. Sources: Warforged and Warforged Juggeraut are from the Eberron Campaign setting, Ranger variant is from the Unearthed Arcana, Master of Many forms is from Complete Adventurer, and Warshaper is from Complete Warrior. Also, the Scintillating Scales spell is from Draconomicon. Either way...just my 2 cp. |

Are you saying you would prefer to be non-gish? Because I promise you can yield much higher survivability with a caster at that level. Damage wise... what do you consider Pun-Pun f.x.? Because honestly, it's Epic, as long as you don't have epic spellcasting you're going to hit for less damage in melee than an equally optimized uber charger, and even then you're still going to be hitting in the 1k range. It's epic, you're basically playing rocket tag. |
| #10lebbiJul 19, 2010 17:43:07 | Spellcasters or not, I really don't care all that much, as long as my goals are achieved XD, High damage and nigh impervious to attacks/damage |
| #11wings_of_peaceJul 19, 2010 17:46:44 | Spellcasters or not, I really don't care all that much, as long as my goals are achieved XD, High damage and nigh impervious to attacks/damage You probably still want a gish of some manner then. Taint isn't necessary it's just the fastest and cheapest route to easy persists in epic. With the right buffs unless dispelled you're not going to go down, period. I don't know how much your DM tailors your encounters to your group but that will determine how high/low op you end up being as more creatures with SLA dispelling available will mean more chances to lose your Wards of Not Dying. |
