[QUOTE="Scion, post: 2347270, member: 5777"] Not sure if it is helpful or not but if I was going to try to make this character I'd probably go for the following. Template: Feral (savage species), its bonuses are interesting but at your level likely not especially powerful. Race: Likely human, the extra bonus feat is helpful even this late. But then, I dont know anything about the goliath really. Classes: Monk 20/Warmind as far up as you can go. You will lose out on 2 epic monk feats, some speed, and some SR but you will gain some interesting things in return. Still though, it likely isnt min/maxed as much as it could be. You will very likely need spellturning somehow and a ring of counterspell for greater dispel. Hopefully your dm will get rid of disjunction, if not then going straight monk probably would be better because no one will ever have any equipment. But I suggested warmind for a few reasons: DR 3/- (this combined with the fast healing from feral will provide some interesting options), +4 insight to str, con, and AC (3 times per day for 1 minute each time) with free action activation (so, always there to help), psychic warrior powers for a few little extras here and there, and sweeping strike (hit multiple foes with each attack). Pick up Karmic strike as well and you could have a pretty insane number of attacks each round ;) But again, I have no real experience with epic play and this build does cut into some of the monk abilities. Although really the only important one is the SR and at that level it is unlikely to help very often (given the sheer number of ways to improve caster level and the lack to improve SR as far as i can tell). With only HD+10 it may wind up being the same as SR 0 against most foes anyway. Of course, if it was me, I'd just make a psychic warrior build and make him completely unarmed based ;) but then this would again required that disjunction was removed from the game. mmmm.. sweeping strike.. tasty [/QUOTE]
