Skills: Conc: 43, Disc: 43, Lore: 43, S-Craft: 42, Tumble: 21

Notes:
1) Expansion adds a good deal of damage to Bite of the Wolf and helps K-down. Expansion does not move Scimitar weapon class from medium (-4/-4 TWF) to light (-2/-2).

2) More AB buff?s possible ? Nobility domain (Gr. Heroism +4) and E-Prow (+1). Retribution damage (+24 - 29 hp) was chosen over less than 4% AB increase. Psi-points were chosen over E-Prow.

3) Build alternatives: change 7 mods from Wis to Cha and get Epic Div Might (+12 damage / strike, lasts twice as long). ED Shield would add 7 to AC: 106, 112 Max Dex.

4) * Gr. TWF was not on the PsyWar bonus feat list and could not be taken at PW 20 (pre-epic). Taking Gr. TWF as an Epic feat bumped Armor Skin off the list ? so +4 Dex was added to compensate for the loss of Armor Skin?s +2 AC.

5) Psi-Meditation (aka Psi Medi-Wasting) was intentionally not taken (BS 3.5 mechanic).

6) EWFoc is not available with War domain WFoc. EWFoc may be added via toolset.

7) Race was chosen over Illithid due to better natural AC, Con and Str bonuses.
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
