Epic vs. Demigod Smackdown!!! [Recruiting/Setup]

I'm contemplating a fairly cheesy troll fighter using adamantine bladed gauntlets. The whole two weapon chain will be used of course. Yes, I know the weapons aren't that great, but the Wolverine rip off is just calling me.

do fast healing and regeneration work together?

if so, go a feral troll and get some fast healing plus some nice abilities for only another +1 la.

also, take toughness once, and then stack up the roll with it feats from Savage Species... DR 2/- per feat is nothing to laugh at, even at epic

and bladed gauntlets are cool just for effect... i had a kobold barbarian a while ago who dual wielded them, he was crazy and surprisingly quite effective, got himself swallowed by a dragon just so he could wreak havoc on the thing.

The Epic Level feat Damage reduction is also good. Prereq is Con 21 and each time you take it you get 3/-

What is paragon ECL?

The SRD, ELH, and Errata all don't list it. I'd put it at around +15.

Some very basic math.
ECL of a Paragon Mind Flayer is 26 (Found in ELH)
ECL of a norma Mind Flayer is 15 (Found in Savage Species)
26-15=11
Therefore the ECL of the Paragon Template is +11

Of course that is the munchkins way of looking at it. A much more accurate one would be the +29 ECL from the Immortal's handbook challange rating system. Which actually is accurate since an 11'th level paragon fighter is worse than a 40'th level fighter only by saving throws and number of feats. In return you get damage reduction, fast healing, spell resistance, and massive stat boosts.

But this is supposed to be a munchkin game so level 29 paragon fighter here I come :)
 


Epic Spellcasting might not be so bad if the DM limits this game to none or 1 round of preparation before the match, disallowing any spells to be active on a person before they enter the arena.

As for my intentions, I plan on abusing Extended Timeless Body (perhaps with Vow of Poverty)/Temporal Acceleration's augmentation. The former allows me to be immune to practically everything, if not everything while still allowing me to attack. I'd take Schism and Quicken Power, as well as Unconditional Power, and I'd fill up my epic feats with the feat that gives me 19 pp, for somewhere around 755 pp if I can get around 40 Int. Something that gives me ton of dex would be helpful as winning initiative is half the battle at high levels it would seem. It seems the best offensive tactic with Timeless Body however is to use it, then follow by teleporting over (schism or quicken) and breaking a staff of power or putting a portable bag in a dimensional hole :).
 


I'm going to go paladin. Spirited Charge + Great Smiting. Add in 10 levels of Cavalier, and your damage goes up to x5! If he hits, he could take out most demigods in one pass. Add in a dragon cohort/mount for good measure.

Of course, that trick only works on evil demigods.

Err... what other types of demigods would a paladin be fighting? ;)
Neutral, or chaotic good, with a sufficient difference of opinion. Even a lawful good one, if it's a tourney or ritual challenge for hierarchy (with True Resurrection, these can be to the death without being particularly serious).
