No Off Prescience? +5 dam with Sweeping Strikes would be good.

I tend to prioritize +hit over +dam as a rule. Also, I can just switch my Brutal Strikes if I need more damage and have the +hit to spare (which, as a rule, this character most likely will, now that I think about it). It's a totally sweet option now that you mention it though. +10 damage per round is pretty hot. But I figured Ubiquitous Vision would be a good thing to have given the setting. I get flanked a lot. I may trade another one out though. It's a tough selection with War Mind.

Did you mean Greater Concealing Amorpha?

Nope - the shorter duration on the Greater version does not play well with the low caster level. It's 1 round per level as opposed to 1 minute per level.

Out of curiosity, do you know if the AC debuff from Leading the Strike has a duration?

You should consider boosting your wisdom because improved ki-strik +4/5 require at least 21 wis.

I always miss a prerequisite somewhere.  Thanks!

I'll probably just remove it for this particular build, unfortunately - 21 wis on a troll is really hard to get. >.>

I agree that the changed prereqs probably aren't the problem. A saved game could be helpful, and a specific list of the immunities you have and should't along with it.

Here you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/431322004/000036_-_electricalimmunity.rar

To recreate the issue from that savegame, shift into a Bebilith. It's in the first quickchange slot on the toolbar. Then shift back into normal form. The electrical immunity should remain on the character sheet, presuming it isn't just some weird fluke that only I'm having.

The AC will also remain really high from the bebelith bonuses. That can be fixed by shifting into a bugbear (Quickchange slot 2 on the toolbar) and back into normal form, but the electrical immunity remains regardless.

OK, so apparently monks don't get increased unarmed damage for being large-sized in NWN. That sorta kinda invalidates this whole build.

That's what I get for assuming it works like tabletop.

Troll Monk 20/Initiate of Draconic Mysteries 10/War Mind 10

"SMAAAAAAAAASH!"

Unbuffed stats:

Str: 26 (36 at level 40)
Dex: 18
Con: 26
Int: 10
Wis: 12
Cha: 4

HP: 580
AC: 30
SR: 30

Feats: Wild Talent, Power Attack, Alertness, Weapon Focus (Unarmed Strike), Improved Crit (Unarmed Strike), Great Cleave, Dodge, Psionic Dodge, Speed of Thought, Improved Ki Strike +4, Improved Ki Strike +5, Devastating Critical, Overwhelming Critical, Fast Healing 1

Skills:

Jump 8
Tumble: 40
Heal: 43
Lore: 8
Discipline: 43
Concentration: 10


Pros: Absurdly high melee damage, high DevCrit DC's, very high HP, regeneration, excellent attack bonus, good saving throws, improved evasion, some spell resistance, immune to poison and mind-controlling effects, very high speed (especially when psionically focused), limited self-buffing, 5% chance to stun on-hit.

Cons: Terrible AC, can be a healing sponge, easily dispellable buffs, no social skills, few skills in general, several blown class features in IoDM, needs a +Wis item to cast some War Mind buffs.


Overview: This is the closest you'll ever get to being The Incredible Hulk in D&D. Trolls are large size, and thus use an increased monk unarmed damage progression table. You do 4d8 unarmed damage as a large level 20 monk. Initiate of Draconic Mysteries ups that to 4d12. Use Expansion (from War Mind) to become Huge sized. Now you do 6d12 unarmed damage. Augment that expansion, and you're Gargantuan sized. Now you do 8d12 unarmed damage. Start as a Huge sized dragon (War Mind again) and use an augmented Expansion, and you're Colossal size. Now you do 12d12 unarmed damage. That's an average of 78 HP per strike without even considering any bonuses. Hawt.

Added on top of that, you've got a +17 BAB thanks to your stint as a War Mind. That's four attacks a round. Add one more for Flurry of Blows. Then another for Haste. Then another for Circle Kick. Then for every one of those, you'll get a free attack against an adjacent enemy, courtesy of Sweeping Strikes. And as if that isn't bad enough, anyone you hit twice in a row will be eating a Rend as well. All that comes together for a minimum of six attacks a round, and potentially up to fifteen, all of which can hit for 70+ HP even when completely ungeared. This character packs an utterly horrifying level of offensive melee power. Team this guy up with strong buffers for maximum lulz, because he enjoys monstrous, monstrous scaling from any +hit he can get.


Variants: Nathzarune Rakshasha can trade off Regeneration, Rend and some physical stats in exchange for better mental stats and some really neat abilities. +6d6 sneak attack sends your unarmed damage even higher, and your spell resistance will be much improved as well. The extra intelligence can be spent on stealth skills to make Hide in Plain Sight really shine. Change Shape allows you to get to large size for use with Expansion.

Zakya Rakshasha are a solid race as well, combining the physical stats of a troll with the spell resistance of a Rakshasha, along with some other goodies. True Strike is a big hit, so to speak, offering you 9 seconds of pure, unmitigated beatdown potential.

Trading Initiate of Draconic Mysteries for Fist of Hextor is another solid choice. You lose some damage, and the dragon form, but gain big (around +5) on +hit in return. This is an especially attractive choice since so many of the IoDM class features are duplicated by Monk acquisitions, and even more so for Nathzarune or Zakya Rakshasha since they already start with Martial Weapon Prof.



Disclaimer: This build is not completely tested in NWN, meaning that it's mostly theorycraft. If the unarmed damage progression has changed in any meaningful way from tabletop, or if there is a limit on how big a PC can get, or if the unarmed damage chart doesn't include very large-sized monks, then some of these results may change in the actual application.

 Many of the PvP settings in the Bioware modules are set instead of defering to the server setting. This takes some time, but all you need to do is change the PvP setting in each area of the module to either "Full PvP" or "Default(use server settings)". I tested it and it works.

That's exactly it - I noticed on my other character that areas past the first floor or two of Undermountain in HotU are correctly listed as full PVP. Presumably, I would be able to cast Inflict spells on my minions there, making this only a temporary problem. I never made it that far with my Necro because I was assuming I wouldn't ever be able to heal my undead without using area effects.

I notice this feat is listed for Justice of Weald and Woe, but it isn't actually on the class list in-game. Is it not implemented, or did I screw up somehow?
