Only 1 hard requirement:  elf w/ scimitars.  No real reason other than I have a lot of decent scimitars rotting on mules that would be nice to use + Cove Scimi's.  36pt build, almost immediate TR at 20, have +3 tome, PLF's in cleric, monk, ranger, & +5 hearts.  I'm aware of the drawbacks in going elf, fighter, scimitar, et al.

I'd prefer to push out to Kensei III, but if someone can give me some interesting ideas I'm totally open.  No real need for traps as one of the guys I run with is doing a finesse rogue.

Please bear in mind, our silly builds and general shenanigans are contained away from the general populace as we run as a static group 3 nights a week.  So, open fire.

No real goals honestly.  I did an off the cuff, spur of the moment HElf Arty/Ranger rogue dill this life at LITERALLY the last possible second and it has been a blast.  Couple quests I've had 100+ kills and my friends have had <10.  Even got our streak up to 106. I've really enjoyed just kinda winging it and I'm curious if anyone would help me screw up a fighter in some odd way. 

So, basic level layout, an off the wall synergy, etc

Pfft. If you want real quirk, you'll go DEX based with a bastard sword. Haven't you heard how cool those are now?

I'd considered this since elf has an easier time with dex.  Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic.  The reality is that the qty/effectiveness of dex clickies is fairly low compared to strength.

@Blank:  I'm sans icy's and chattering so no dice on an AC build with monk.  A 4th guildy (the Euro time guy) of mine has been soloing Icy's with his Soul Survivor and landed his, so I may have him drag me along on my days off.

After reading some last night one possibility is:
- 6wiz/12barb/2mnk elf; evasion, displacement/haste, fast movement, intim & either Shield, Invis or MM for AM.
- or swap barb w/ ftr

More later!

That's not a possibility.

That build is so bad a static group would kick him from party.

This reminds me, what server does this guy play on? Sarlona? Orien? Ghallanda? Oooo, maybe cannith?

We cannot give build advice without server placement knowledge.

Try to solo DQ 2? I can't think of a class that can't solo it.  Even rogues do it, it is that sad of a quest.  Succeed, or be subject to random insults and mockery.

This has to be a trick question, I cannot think of a difference.

I love you new guy whose name I cannot recall.  I will protect you from these cruel internet bullies.  This build is fantasmal!  I give it to you so you may use it to conquer your enemies and pwn these internet bullies in game!

Elf is for pansies, their easier "dex" is a sham.  Here is what you want:

Drow
Lvl progression: 2 monk, 7 artificer, 4 monk, 7 barb. 

Feats:
TWF
ITWF
GTWF
Cleave
WF Slashing
Martial weapon Longsword
Power attack
Augment Summoning
Stunning fist
Whirling steel strike
Path of Harmonius balance

This leave 1 feat.  I recommend Toughness, strongly.

Ok, now for the enhancements:

Artificer Damage Boost 2
Crossbow Attack 1
Crossbow Damage 1
Uncaring Master
Artificer Battle Engineer
Elven Dex 2
Way of the Tortoise 2
Monk Recovery 1
Adept of Rcok
Use Magic Device 2
Artificer Energy of creation 2
Artificer Int 2
Monk Wis 2
Artificer wand and scroll mastery 2
Barbarian Con 2
Barbarian Toughness 2
Racial Toughness 2
Barbarian Sprint boost 2
Extend Rage 2
Hardy Rage 2
Extra Rage 2
Power Attack 2
Power Rage 2


The build is amazing and will take you far!  I wish you the best of luck and have fun!


Assuming you have only 28 point for the drow, if a tr then 30/32 would be lots better, as always with a multiclass.


Str -16
Dex-16
Con-12
Int-16

Lvl 4 stat boost - dex
lvl 8- int
lvl 12- int
lvl 16- str
lvl 20 str


Now, FULLY geared you will be looking at stats like this:

dex 17+2 enh+7 item+2 tome+1 profane= 28
str 18+10 item+3 tome+3 profane= 34
con 12+2 enh, 7 item, 2 tome, 3 profane= 26
int 16+2 enh, 10 item, 1 profane, 3 tome= 32

When raged your str will be sitting at 42, con at 34.
If you farm madstone boots for the clicky and the proc (thens witch back to abishai boots) and titan gloves, Your str will be in the 50's!  Your con will be sitting at 40.

once i take that barb level is it ok if i talk to fred and drop martial weapon longsword for improved sunder?

looks like a solid build if i can.

second the toughness feat too.

Oh man, I am so sorry.  I shouldn't post in the morning.  Yes, trade out Longsword proficiency once you take the barb level.  OHTWF is a great choice.  Once you get a few barb levels underway trade out toughness for imp sunder and use the gained HP for AP's.

If you are worried about the cost of feat trading, look me up!  I will hook you up with FREE siberys shards.

Well, I meant if you wanted to stay centered and wield a second weapon without penalty, of course.  There's a chance that it might be worth it to just eat the penalties, of course.  I'd have to do the math and see what you're giving up when you start hitting epics.

Definitely seems like a solid build, though. 

Epoch, since this was your brain child, what do you think about going for an Int build?  Since you'll have 3rd level Artificer spells, you can go ahead and eschew strength and end up with the same damage modifier by just pumping up your Intelligence and casting Insightful Damage, and you've already got natural synergy with the Drow racial +2 Int.  Plus, then you're guaranteed to be able to do epic traps on top of all of the other advantages of this build.
