#1 kayjeth Nov 09, 2010 23:16:17	Okay, so I need to create a level 20 character. I know that shortly after the campaign begins, we're all being de-leveled, but I'm still creating the character under the assumption that it is an epic campaign. Also, pretty much any class, race, and anything is open for accepting, with the one limitation of no more than a +3 Level Adjustment. Also, crazy things like permanent spells are also open for suggestion. Keep in mind that we're going to de-level as a result of a terrible, terrible fight that is supposed to be impossible for us to win. I would enjoy, however, winning the fight or almost winning the fight, but I have no idea what the fight is. So, basically, I get to create any random Level 20 character I feel like. Go crazy with suggestions, I'm open to anything. Personally, I would like to be a melee character, as I don't much enjoy spellcasters, though I'm still open to suggestions. For Fighter/Barbarian style, which is what I'm looking at and I think I'll have the most fun with, I'm thinking Skullcrusher Ogre, which is a +3 Level Adjustment. +14 Str, +6 Con, –2 Cha • Large Size • 40’ Movement • Low-Light vision • Darkvision 60’ • Gain Feat: Improved Grapple and Feat: Two-Weapon Fighting • +2 Natural Armor bonus to AC • Level Adjustment +3 • 8HD Giant, which grants skill points, Feats, BAB, & Base Save Bonuses. • Automatic proficiency with Simple & Martial Weapons, All Armors, and Shields. • Rock Throwing – Receives a +1 Racial bonus on attack rolls when throwing rocks. Typically throw Small-sized rocks (50 pounds), which do 2d6 damage, have a range increment of 100’ and a maximum distance of 5 range increments. Also, note that the DM is open to creating weapons of higher bonus than +10 in the need be. For those who don't know, www.crystalkeep.com is amazing. Last thing: Each of us gets 800,000 gold to spend.

#4 Krusk Nov 12, 2010 19:04:40	I have an elephant man dungeoncrasher who is pretty fun to play, and generally all around solid. I'll post the sheet below. It was built 760,000gp and 32 PB. He is currently level 17, but this is my plan for level 20. The gist of the build is that he makes a bunch of heavy hitting melee attacks, all of which get free bull rush attempts, which then become dungeon crasher damage. (I think thats RAW, and it is how my DM took it) It also uses custom stat +6 items, that fit on whatever slot was open at the time. Again, my DM lets them fly, and I think most DMs would. Also just copy and pasted out of word with no formatting.
