Required Skills:
4 Lore
4 Intimidate
4 Spot

Additionally:
16 Animal Empathy
41 Lore
43 Open Lock
40 Tumble

Total Points:
172

Noteworthy Feats
-Brutal Strike, Attack - +10
-Improved Power Attack
-Greater Two Weapon Fighting
-Epic Weapon Spec: Rapier
-Focused Strike
-Furious Assault
-Strength Boost
-Strike at the Core

Combat:
-Immpressive. To start with, an extremly high attack bonus thanks to the epic Fist levels. Even dual weilding he has 4 attacks over +45, meaning that when he swings, he will rarely miss. Running around some random high level baddies with no gear aside from the two rapiers, I don't recall ever seeing him miss. I might have lost track of one or two in the roll sheet however, which brings me to my next point...
-Nice amount of attacks. with high dex, ambidexterity and greater two weapon fighting, dual weilding means 7 attacks. Add in Man at arms Furious Assault for an even 8, with 2 of those attacks having a bonus over 50. While not insane, that is a lot of attacks, and more importantly it's a lot of attacks that will actually connect.
-However, no amount of frustrated swinging is going to accomplish anything if you aren't causing enough damage to actually bypass your enemies damage reduction. This build has a max potential damage of 17 on the strong hand, and 16 on the off hand. Not pitiful, but not staggering. Your average dex build would be happy with that number in most cases. But there's more than meets the eye.
-Improved Power Attack, and Focused Strike. Improved Power attack allows you to exchange 10 of your attack bonus for an additional 10 damage. At +57, this character can afford to let some of his attack bonus go on occasions he just isn't causing enough actual damage. For most builds, this wouldn't be worth noting, power attack isn't all that hard to get. What's noteworthy here, is Focused Strike. Man at Arms Focused Strike doubles the effectiveness of your power attack, giving twice as much damage caused for the attack bonus lost. However, it's limited by your Dex, meaning most builds don't get to make full use of it.
With 30 dex, your Dex bonus is 10, meaning Foused Strike is functioning at full capacity. When activated fully, this characters attack bonus drops to 43, but he gains 20 EXTRA DAMAGE in the process. 43+38+32+28, with 37 damage. Your average fighter would be happy to acheive those numbers with ONE handed fighting, much less with two.
So this character's fighting isn't a one trick pony. He has great control over his attack and damage values from fight to fight, able to dish out a lot of damage however it's needed. He can cause more damage than most fighters, or he can gaurantee a hit with less damage, all to varying degrees based on who he's swinging at.
-It's also worth pointing out that the Fist of Hextors strength boost has 7 uses per day. 7 uses per day at 24 rounds per use = 168 rounds of strength boosting each day. More carrying load, more damage, more people afraid of you.
-As an added Bonus, "Strike at the Core" means that your opponent will be constantly making saves against constitution loss. If they fail a save, remember that even -2 CON is a quick 40 'damage' as far as you're concerned, and that comes at no extra effort to you.

Misc:
-He also has decent saves. No evasion, slippery mind, or other rogueish tricks, but he has consistently decent saves to start with in the first place. And being Lawful Neutral, feats spells and tricks focusing on good or evil mean nothing to him. He only has to watch for attacks against 'law', which are pretty rare.
-53 in open lock checks. Not many doors are going to slow this guy down.
-16 in animal empathy. Not the best, but it's there, for the odd rat that needs convincing.

Spellcasting:
-None whatsoever in any way shape or form.

Summary: A fighter, but an unusal one at that. And if you find out he's in town, I would say "Lock your doors and windows", but don't bother. It won't stop him.

Note: This character actually had one wasted feat. I selected Improved Critical for the rapier without remembering that Man At Arms gives it automatically. Anything else that feat would be used for would be non-critical to the build however.

Rogue 20/Ravager 10/Man At Arms 10

Some notable bugs/flaws exposed:

1) Ravager's Cruelest Cut keeps claiming "not close enough" no matter how close I get. Might be a problem with collision detection due to minotaur being a large creature, but should be looked into.

2) Man At Arms apparently doesn't actually get THE Improved Critical feat for his weapons. This means no Overwhelming/Devastating Critical. I find this odd, since he seems to have no problem getting the various Weapon Proficiency/Shield/Armour feats at first level...

3) Minotaur's charge should really be available at all times(with a -2 from max AB penalty for being a natural weapon used as secondary attack), not just when unarmed. Also, if used in that way, it should deal 1/2 str mod bonus damage. Interestingly, it dealt more damage than the listed 4d6+6. At first, I thought it was 4d6+6+1.5*Str Mod, but the values don't seem quite right. It also seems to roll maximum damage all the time(but that could be me) Might be interesting, if it could be coded in as an extra attack ala Haste/Furious Assault/Perfect TWF, etc.

Edit: Technically, it should just be an attack that occurs if you click on an enemy from afar, but that might be dangerous due to the lowered AC(but let's face it, with a natural armour of 5, who gives a toss about -2?). The proper damage is 4d6+1.5*Str mod, I just checked the MM. The Minotaur listed there is 19 Strength, for a mod of 4(*1.5=6)

This character has decent Hide/Move Silently scores(in the low 30s), and 10d6 Sneak Attack(with Lingering Damage). Anything he doesn't break in the first round with his 32 base Strength and Scythe, is probably dead in the next round(unless it's undead/construct/ooze) I was working towards getting that Scythe in HotU Chapter 2, but he's got a decent one as is. He also does pretty well with some other weapons. Personally, I'd pick axes/scythe/halberd/warhammer, for the various damage types. Critical Size being more important than Critical Range here. Please don't get me foaming at the mouth by suggesting Kukris, those damn things should be classed as heavier weapons, practically the size of a short sword(and weight of a longsword), rather than a dagger.

Feats chosen: Blooded(although Bullheaded would be pretty appropriate, Blooded was chosen for Initiative reasons), Cleave, Power Attack, Dirty Fighting(for the Ravager requirements), Improved Power Attack, Great Cleave, 4*Weapon Focus(for Man At Arms), Weapon Focus Scythe(using Exotic WP from MaA levels), Improved Sneak Attack, Lingering Damage.

Various bonus feats(all from MaA and Rogue):

Rogue: Crippling Strike, Improved Evasion, Slippery Mind, either Improved SA or Lingering Damage, picking the other as a regular feat.

MaA: Improved Initiative, Superior Initiative, Exotic Weapon Proficiency, pretty much everything listed in the MaA progression.

Skills: Important to have 3 Intimidate at some point, and Lore(standard to max this anyways), in order to qualify. MaA levels put points in Hide/Move Silently, Ravager puts points in Listen/Spot.

Abilities: I pushed for 22 Strength, 14 Dexterity, 18 Constitution, and 10 everything else, after racial mods. All level up points went to Strength.

Strategy: Just sneak in, bonk them over the head(3/2/2 attacks, using Furious Assault, Haste, dual wielding) with your weapon of choice, run around a corner if they don't trigger Great Cleave, Stealth Mode, bonk them over the head again as they follow. He picked up this trick working in a press gang at the docks in his youth. He can also use Flame Twin once a day, due to his gloves. This allows him to gain flanking bonuses on larger monsters, although quite frankly, if he can kill it, so will the flame twin...

Exact Progression: Wait for them to post the build in the link, sorry. :/

Yelling Red Mercenary (Bard 8/ RDD 10/ Man@Arms 22)

Again slight Adaption of my former build

Race: Troll
Class: Bard
Alignment: TN (no smiting against this char)

Stats:
Str.:28 -> 46
Dex.:20 -> 20
Con.:20 -> 22
Int.:12 -> 14
Wis.:06 -> 06
Cha.:04 -> 06

needed Skills (for RDD):
Lore:8
needed Feats (for Man@Arms)
Power Attack, 4 times WF

Recommended Skills:
Perform -> 17
Discipline -> 40
Tumble -> 40
UMD -> 27
(Spellcraft 10)
Spot 30 (20)

Recommended Feats.(in order):
Pwr. Attack, WP:Exotic, WF:Katana, WF:Mace, WF:Heavy Crossbow, WF:Kukri, Cleave, TWF, Ambidex, Impr. TWF, Gr. TWF, Lingering Song, Blindfight, Impr. Power Attack

Man@Arms Epic Feats.:
Epic Powers, Armorskin, Epic WF:Katana


Stat. increase: Always Strength

Level 2-7 Bard

Level 8-15 RDD

Level 16-20 Man@Arms

Level 21 and 22 RDD

Level 23-32 Man@Arms

Level 33 Bard

Level 34-40 Man@Arms

You get:

HP (max rolls): 600
AB (mundane Katana, Mace, Kukri): 47/42/37/32
AC (naked): 34
Saves:
Fort.:28
Refl.:26
Will.:22

This is a very versatile Meelee build. What seperates it from others is the elemination of their common weaknesses:
low AC, weak Reflex and Will saves
The average damage output of this build is equal (eventually superior) because:
up to 9 Attacks (with haste and Furious Assault), high AB, high Strength
Impr. Pwr. Attack is aplied to both weapons this translates to
(Katana -> main Weapon; no magic items or spell boosting)
1d10 + 18/9 (Strength) +3 (don't ask where this comes from, it's just in the char sheet) +10 (Power Attack 5 + Dex Bonus from Man@Arms)
= Main Hand -> 32-41
= Offhand -> 23-32

by boosting Str. to 56 and Dex to 30 this becomes
= Main Hand -> 47-56
= Offhand -> 35-44

not counting magic (or magical effected) Weapons, which will be easy to come by via scrolls and UMD

Further you have:

5 HP/Round natural healing (get greater Amulett of Health and a ring of regeneration and you get +10/round)
Usage of nearly any gear and all scrolls, some neat immunities like fire, sleep, paralysis.


I like this one a lot!

After a few posts in the bug reports thread, I thought I'd post this here.
the name isn't so much that he's an uber effective fighter it's more to reflect the fact that he abuses bugs to work.

if this has been posted before then sorry for wasting all yours time

race: human
starting stats: whatever you feel like, str should be 16 and dex at least 15
starting class: monk
starting feats: dodge and power attack
level up stats: all into str

1) start leveling up as a monk take "weapon focus: unarmed strike" as your first selectable feat, take monk levels too 5, make sure you have 8 points in jump and 4 into tumble, you can now enter the shou desciple class

2)take 5 levels in shou desciple, when you get to select shou desc bonus feats take mobility and lightning reflexes, the other feats you get for free later on or are of no use too you.

when possible use feats to buy weapon focuses, one of these needs to be kama, bear in mind unarmed dosn't count so you still need another 3, also some other weapon focuses don't seem to count (sling for instance) I took longbow, and the other two into longsword/hand axe as I knew both of those worked.

3)at level 15 you should be monk10/shou desc5 and have 4 weapon focuses (+unarmed) you can now enter the maa class.


level maa too 10 and then go back to monk untill you hit level 40 use your feats to get ambidexterity/twf/itwf and the required feats for dev crit (great cleave/improved crit/overwhelming crit), you should have 2 more spare feats, I used these for epic weapon foucus and prowes, also you get an epic monk feat, wich I used for armored skin, what and where you spend skill points is upto you, personally I went for tumble/heal/discipline and the rest spread around.

Number of attacks: this is the whole point of the build: lots of attacks, go grab a haste item and a pair of kamas, place the dual kamas on a quick slot, turn on Furious Assault, and martial flurry, then hit your quick slot for the kamas, find a likely looking monster, hit flurry of blows and maul it to death with 12 attacks per round..33/30/27/24/21/28/35/35/35/35/32/28

here's the break down (with all the feats turnned on)
base attacks: 33/30/27/24/21/28
Off hand: 33/28
haste:35
martial flurry35
Furious Assault:35
flurry of blows:35

damage = 12-17 (1-6 +8str mod +3maa bonuses)

with max points into tumble ac is 43 naked at lvl 40

ho hum

Pros:
12 attacks!
uh dev crit
12 attacks
monk speed/empty body etc
did I mention 12 attacks?


cons
(really)crappy ab
crap crit range
crap hp (mine was 269 with no rerolls though that was with a cons of 10)

so yeah he pretty much sucks at everything, but I think is unbeatable for number of base attacks per round

The Splinter of Shadow by Xitooner:

Swift, silent, and adaptable; capable of dealing fatal damage with any number of weapons. A true ninja warrior that uses the shadows and his stealth skills to such good affect that even in the light of day nobody sees more than a blurred shape. To his chosen victim, it seems that a piece of darkness itself, a splinter of shadow, has come to kill him. . .

Build Comments
---------- -------------
Has proven to be a very strong build once it got going. Sadly, the build is weaker than I hoped in the early going, thanks to the significant pre-reqs of ManAtArms, and desiring 4 attacks/round; it forced Weapon Finesse back too late in the build for me to call it a truly good build from level 1. However, once you get HIPS at level 11, you are dealing ranged sneak damage at will, and the rest of the trip to Weapon Finesse is a piece of cake. And once you have Finesse. . . you are awesome.

I also would have liked to be able to squeeze in Expertise; but I saw no way with Self-Conceal.

Here is an alternative approach to the build that also works; intended for people who consider Self-Conceal to costly:
Replace ManAtArms levels from 26-32 with Ninja Spy, thus ending at 19/10/11 Rogue/Ninja/MaA. This does the following:

- Gives you Imp Invisibility via Ninja Level 10; giving you some Self-Conceal. This frees up 5 feat slots; 2 epic, and 3 Rogue bonus feats.
- Gets 2 more Sneak attacks, Slippery Mind, and the really neat "Mask of a Thousand Faces"; something every RP assassin type would enjoy.
- Alas, you also lose 2 ManAtArms feats from the build.

Pros
------
- Very high damage for a Dex build.
- Versatile; can always use the weapon appropriate for the job, and deal good damage in the process (not countng the sneak).
- Mega-stealth, with high initiative, ImpKnockdown, and excellent sneak damage.
- The extra attacks (Furious Assult) and auto-weapon Con drain are definite plusses.

Cons
-------
- Has decent AC with all that Dex, but not exceptional (still grumpy about not getting Expertise).
- Could use some help in Fort/Will save area. Slippery Mind would have helped (see alternative build), and the UMD can be used to help this as well.
- Haste item highly desired (as usual).

- Puts everythink he finds to good use (bard)
- Dish out more pain than a regular Soldier and can take some (Man@Arms+heritage)
- kills some ale at the campfire and braggs about his "heroic deeds" (bard)

Epic wep replaced with 4 great dex to give the +2 to AB/AC and anyother dex related stat.
Varied weapons useble, darts can be dropped for another melee weapon and a different scout feat at lvl 12, i use blindfight. Or you can focus for 1 more AB on a single weapon or two with a drop of Greater Dex III/IV. One focus only, allows one more feat, toughness perhaps for the 40hp
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.

When i did this build i was thinking i wanted someone that could pack a punch, that was fast, with lots of attacks and more than decent TS, but i wanted it to also be as hard to kill as it could be.

Im pretty sure i`ve made a mistake but i wanted to hear your opinion and if you think its a good build.
