[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 3942791, member: 63"] I want to make a Kratos-esque PC as a 36th level character for a short epic campaign I'm playing in. Please help me. Pretty much any WotC book that's not Eberron-based, Weapons of Legacy, Magic of Incarnum, or Tome of Magic is available. My basic idea is to make him a Warblade 20/Swordsage x, and maybe a few other classes or prestige classes in there. I basically expect to be able to use any Book of Nine Swords ability I want. The first thing I need to figure out are his weapons. Should I stat them as wierd kusari-gama (one-handed spiked-chain-esque weapons in the DMG), or as normal swords with a magical ability to extend? Is there anything from WotC that can do that? Preferably, to reflect my divine nature, I want them to be holy power weapons (a +8 enhancement bonus option that inflicts +3d6 holy damage and a negative level per hit against evil creatures). Second, I need a way to not be screwed for not wearing armor. Admittedly, my stats will probably be ridiculous at this level, and I get to add my Wisdom mod due to Swordsage, and can still wear light armor. I don't necessarily need a Golden Fleece style defense, but some way to avoid all the countless doomsday attacks at epic level would be nice. Third, I need ranged combat options. Kratos in the game gets to hurl lightning bolts, or shoot spectral arrows. The arrows option is easy. Any way to have nigh-infinite magical attacks that do an effective amount of damage at epic level? I'll post more as this idea crystallizes in my mind. [/QUOTE]
