Message: <blockquote data-quote="electric-ant" data-source="post: 770022" data-attributes="member: 9845">Yes, you are all correct. So now that I've gotten sleep (it's Friday! no deadlines for the rest of the week!) and am thinking clearly:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Belts of Giant Strength and Gauntlets of Ogre Power both provide enhancement bonuses, and therefore do not stack, as Victim said.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bracers of Armor and regular armor also do not stack for the same reason - they both provide an armor enhancement bonus - as Zack said.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Damage for the vorpal greataxe +5 should be 1d12 + 20 (1.5 Strength bonus for 15 strength, +5 enhancement) if I'm not mistaken.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You should have 18 feats (7 from progression, 11 from fighter class) and 2 epic feats (2 from progression). [Edit: Oops, just consulted the FAQ. Apparently, you don't get epic bonus feats until you have epic class levels.]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Also, this is for everyone: please break down all of your numbers (saves, attacks, etc.) so it's easy to see whether a mistake has been made.</li> </ul>Also some suggestions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You don't need to list all the insignificant objects like 'loaf of bread' - unless you're traveling in odd situations, and since you'll know before you start traveling, you won't need to know whether you have enough bread and water until then.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Please include a list of actions your character performs if you don't post before I update. This includes combat with a single enemy, combat with multiple enemies, surprise attacks, delicate diplomatic situations, following the party into dangerous areas, reacting to unforeseen events [since you won't have foreseen them, you obviously won't know what they are, but think of some general thing to do - cast shield or fight defensively or take cover or whatnot], and a multitude of other situations. List at least these, plus as many more as you can think of.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> If you want mondo AC, take armor up to a reasonable (cost-wise) amount, boost your Dex, take appropriate feats (Dodge and Epic Dodge [which doesn't actually give an AC bonus, but is just as good]), take feats like Armor Skin, and buy items with bonuses other than enhancement - just assume price times 2.5 for other types of bonuses, except deflection (like your rings of protection) and natural armor, which are twice as much, and dodge, which can't be put on magic items. Remember that the same type of bonus doesn't stack with itself, except dodge.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You have a potential 20k XP that could be two epic feats, unless you'd rather save it and hope you'll get XP to push you over to 27th.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You have heaps of gold, and all the items you have are just from the DMG or extrapoloted thereof. There are plenty of epic items waiting to suck up that gold.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You shouldn't focus so much on one save - your other two aren't even into 'epic' levels (12+). You compounded the problem by taking Epic Fortitude - that's really not that useful when your base save is already so high.</li> </ul>Everyone who's asking, I'm doing everything by the printed rules, except for Int retroactively increasing skill-points.["Boni"?
