I need a 20th level character by tomorrow. Race has to be some form of elf (preferably Night-Elf from the WC3 D20 book). The last 10 levels will be all Anti-Mage.

I was thinking a little swordsage at least for the wis armor and using dex instead of str for damage and then swashbuckler for the dex to attack and int to damage and the weapons I will be using are:

Moon Glaive, Light, Slashing, 1D6, 18-20/x3 (must use two, count as shadowsun weapons - no STR needed)

Don't go absolutely crazy with this, but where should I cut SS and Swash off and what should my feats look like other than SunSchool, TWF, and Imrpoved Crit obviously.

Apr 13, 2008 3:57:10 First, don't multipost.

Second, don't bump until 24 hours have passed. You posted twice more in under a day. We don't really have much care for how much of a rush you're in.

Third, P.E.A.C.H. doesn't hold itself as much as a request, since critiquing honestly (and, as a side effect, usually brutally) and examining into the dirt are what CO is about.

Fourth, give us a while. You're making a character with a race from a little-owned book, with a custom weapon (which I can't decide if it's too powerful or not, worded slightly weirdly, mainly that in parentheses), a custom 10-level prestige class, and a slew of base classes to get into it. We're gonna need to digest it, since most of it is of slightly questionable balance, and above all, we don't just pull optimization out of our asses. Optimization has usually come from looking at something and driving it into the dirt with analysis, examination, and twinkery.

Fifth, posting guidelines would be nice. What books are we allowed to throw at you? What are you trying to accomplish, aside from being anti-caster? Why the psy-warrior, since you have no ML anyways with this build?

Do you need the two fighter feats? And I don't think you can take improved toughness repeatedly, only normal toughness...

Apr 13, 2008 4:54:01 I need to know how im going to build this by tomorrow so I multiposted. It's for a high level campaign im coming in ecl 20.

Most of the books except for dragon magazines.

The rest of the team is pretty combat oriented in different ways (an archer, ninja melee, justicar melee, some other things i forget it's been so long since we ran this). My Thri-Keen was just killed and I can't find my copy of wc3 d20 either so just use grey elf.
