Cha:     18     (+8)           2          [ 28 ]        +9          [ 28 ]             +9        

AB Stack (Shifted): BAB +24, +19 (+20 Max Str) Flurry –2  = +41 (+42 Max Str)

AB buffs (4): Man o’ Egr. Might +4

Flurry (Shifted): Base 45 (41+4); 46 Max Str
Base: 47 Base; 48 Max Str

Deadeye Sense (epic spell): (+20)
Flurry: 65 Base, 66 Max Dex
Base: 67 Base, 68 Max Dex

True-Strike: (+20)
Flurry: 85 Base, 86 Max Dex
Base: 87 Base, 88 Max Dex

Misc. AB buff: Masochism (+X), enhancements (+Y)

Naked max buff AC Stack: 10 +20 Epic Mage Armor (Armor) +9 (+15 Max) Unearthly Grace (Defl) +8 (Tumble) +2 Dex (+8 Max) +5 Natural Armor (Barkskin)  + 10 Big Inter-hand (SR spell) + 4 Mantle of Egr (luck) +4 Haste (Dodge item) = 62 (74 Max Dex, Cha), 72 / 84 with Big Inter-hand

Naked no buff AC Stack: 10 + 9 Unearthly Grace (Defl) +8 (Tumble) +2 Dex = 29

Save stacks: +4 Mantle-o’  +1 Twilight Luck + 1 Resistance (cantrip) = +6  buff
Vs. Spells: + 8 Prot from Spells + 8 (S-craft) = +16

Pro’s:  Huge stat increases when shifted. Metamagic & Spell Pen synergy. Number of base & bonus spells. Huge skill points. Very high Flex save v. spell & Evasion = no damage 95% of the time.  Epic Spell Pen & Prac Caster mitigate low caster level v. SR (28 CL Dr / 30 CL Sor). Dragon, elemental shapes.

Cons:  Can’t cast spells when shifted. No bonus feats. Low unshifted AB &  hp, few buffs.  Easy to debuff, hard to debuff others. Quickslot shortage.

L3: Displacement, Shivering Touch, Neg. Energy Burst, Vampiric Touch

Notes:
1) Original Dragon Kin build is here: http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark/character_dragonkin.html
2) Used modCON 5 for perm Transcend Vitality Con mod
3) If you want better saves, take 1 M pre-epic
4) M2 gives Deflect Arrows and consumes 1 L9 Druid spell
5) For higher unshifted AB with simple / natural weapons, go with NG align & take Intuitive Attack feat, but makes build vulnerable to Smites,
6) Unearthly Grace save skin borked with Cha items. Used dm_modifysave

Enjoy.

3) For higher AC, go with Nymph, increase Cha & take Expertise chain, however you lose your natural claw attack and a lot of PW powers need claws

Enjoy.

Draconic Rune Caster  “Claw of Navos”

“The other kind of dragon fear”

Zakya Rakshasa, NG, Dr 19 / Hierophant 5 / Runecaster 16

Stats:  Base [Final]  Dragon
Str:       10   [ 20 ]       48
Dex:      8    [ 12 ]       36
Con:     15   [ 30 ]       32
Int:       12   [ 14 ]       14
Wis:     18   [ 34 ]       34
Cha:      8     [ 8 ]         8

Pro’s: Very high SR check (L65 caster), V-high DC’s: (37 / 43 Max Wis + Spell Lev), great BAB with Intui-Attack for melee and Zen Arch for ranged, 5 base epic spells, Maximized Rune, access to Creeping Doom, Mass Drown, Finger of Death, Slay Living, storing def / healing spells in Runes allows memorizing more attack spells, major bonus spells, high SR race, high hp for pure caster (720 / 960 Max Con), Hammer of Righteousness (combo with Restoration) scales to L40.

Cons: Natural Spell does NOT allow spells cast in Dragon / Elemental form – take K-down or Spell Foc instead, Eternal Freedom does not stop the Rune Chant slow effect, garbage buffs, Runes do not preserve uber-DC’s, Rune DC’s are absolute trash, garbage Flex save, low AC, needs specific items (i.e. immune to divine damage / smites), Garbage Epic Runecaster feats (f-off, WotC geniuses!)

Caster Stack: d20 + 44 (caster) +10 (Spell Power: Hiero) +5 (Rune Chant) + 6 (ESpell-Pen) = d20 + 65 (v. 67 for L40 Rakshasa, 70 for L40 Max SR monk)

DC Stack: 10 + Lev + 14 (20 Max Wis) + 10 (Spell Power: Hiero) +10 (Rune Chant) = 44 (50 Max Wis) + Lev

DC List:
Tolodine’s Killing Wind [L10]: DC: 37 (43 Max) +10 (Level) +4 (adder) = 51 / 57 Fort 10X rounds
Mass Drown [L9]: 46 / 52 Fort
Finger o’ Death [L8]: 45 / 51 Fort
Emp Slay Living [L5 +2 Emp = L7]: 44 / 50 Fort
Slay Living [L5]: 42 / 48 Fort

Skill point “Saves” allows for quick re-rolls. Save skills, except as noted. Strictly level 40 build.
