[Build Contest] Grappler!

[Daermon]

A little contest for anyone willing to accept.

I wanna be a grappler. Gimme your best build you can think of.

Requirements: Standard races and races of Faerun only. The Grappler must use the Reaping Mauler prestige class. Thief-Acrobat levels a plus, but entirely optional. 28 point buy, 16 levels. All other 3.0 and 3.5 books allowed, as well as Dragon Magazine and the Compendium. No 3rd party materials, Book of Nine Swords or UA variants.

Any takers?

Easy start:

Human from Damara (or the North), Jotunbrud feat.
Barbarian (at least 1 level), possibly Fighter (for feats)

Look to get into Reaping Mauler (CompWar, for grappling) and Shou Disciple (Unapproachable East, to increase unarmed damage, to make your grappling hurt more).

Armor Spikes of Wounding might be an option to explore as well.

Would you mind if the character depends on form-changing (polymorph, wild shape) for greater size and strength?

Edit: Oh, and are you dead set on Reaping Mauler? It's not a very good PrC.

EditEdit: Standard equipment for 16th level?

Any takers?

Wu Jen 15/Reaping Mauler 1 with the True Believer feat

1) Polymorph Any Object into something crazy
2) Giant Size for +32 strength
3) wear the Belt of the Champion relic
4) ...
5) Profit!


Seriously though, this wreaks of a "build me a character 'cuz I can't think of jack" thread.


Edit: I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I've seen a lot of threads with an ulterior premise, similar to this, on other forums.

Druids that focus on wildshaping can be scary grapplers.
