[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5376790, member: 22779"] I watched one of my players monk himself right out of a the game. He died a lot. So, he came up with an effectively unkillable PC. Paladin/Monk/Pious Templar. Any save he made (and he automatically gained saves vs pretty much anything) he ignored the effect, saving throw bonuses out the wazoo, AC in the stratosphere. He really was pretty much unkillable. Completely and utterly useless otherwise though. Couldn't hit anything and when he finally did manage to luck into a hit, the bloody bard was doing more melee damage. And it a was KOBOLD bard. :D I actually gifted the character with a holy avenger just to bring him close to par with the other fighter types in the group. Still completely pants, but at least a tinsy bit effective. He managed to finally commit suicide by demon a short time later by deliberately trying to go toe to toe with something that the party shouldn't have been facing at all. :D Thank you Paizo for that insane succubus from Maure Castle with the whip.
