I am One With my god, Heironeous.

[Visigani]

So... this is about the best character I can think of with only a hint of cheese.


Race: Anthropomorphic Bat
Patron: Heironeous

32 Pt Buy


10 Str
10 Dex
12 Con
14 Int
18 Wis
10 Cha


1. Cloistered Cleric
2. Cl. Cleric
3. Cl. Cleric
4. Cl. Cleric
5. Ordained Champion
6. O. Champ
7. O. Champ
8. O. Champ
9. O. Champ
10. Prestige Paladin
11. Pr. Paladin
12. Pr. Paladin
13. Paragnostic Apostle
14. Para. Apostle
15. Para. Apostle
16. Para. Apostle
17. Para. Apostle
18. Cloistered Cleric
19. Cl. Cleric
20. Cl. Cleric



With the addition of Serenity and possibly the Saint Template with level buyout virtually every aspect of this character would be improved by Wisdom.

18 base +6 Racial, +2 Template, +6 item, +5 Level Bonus, +5 Inherent Bonus means 42 wisdom by level 20.

This translates to a +16 bonus to:

Saves
AC
Weapon Damage
Attack Bonus
Spell DC
Turning Checks
Bonus Turns per day


The Domains I would choose are:

Knowledge (substituted for the Knowledge Domain Ability)
War
Destiny
Glory (For Sun Domain Power)


Crux feats (In no particular order):
Education (All knowledge skills)
Holy Warrior
Serenity
Battle Blessing



The destiny domain has some unusual spells. Delay Death and Choose Destiny come to mind. Delay death prevents you from dying from hitpoint damage (i.e. you can have -9874975 hitpoints and you'll keep taking standard or move actions)... and Choose Destiny allows you to roll 2 d20s for just about any check and take the better of either result.



The Ordained Champ can sacrifice a turn undead in order to substitute Wisdom for Strength for Attack and Damage rolls for five rounds, and can smite... pretty much anything... based on turn undead level (which is 20 in this case).

There's a number of other bonuses, but you get the idea.

Any thoughts?

 

[RUMBLETiGER]

Any thoughts?

Yeah... why Anthropomorphic Bat?

 

[Greenfield]

Delay Death keeps you from dying at huge negatives. As far as I know, though, it doesn't keep you conscious. I could be wrong, but I think you need the Die Hard feat for that.

And doesn't the Anthro Bat have an ECL adjustment?

 

[Dandu]

Yeah... why Anthropomorphic Bat?

 

[Visigani]

Yeah... why Anthropomorphic Bat?

You mean other than a race with +6 to Wisdom, flight, dark vision, etc etc with zero level adjustment?

I think I'm missing the hint because all of the smelly cheese covering it

Ahh... Got it.

Limburger I think... Yeah, sounds like Cheese to me.

Lots of Gorgonzola going on here, that much is for sure! Although I'm kinda missing the good old DMM Cheddar. AnthroSwiss is greatly appreciated, though. Battle Blessing on a Prestige Paladin is like Camembert with cranberries! Finally, Serenity (isn't that a Dragon feat?) is the crowning Grana Padano.

As far as optimization level goes, this is a fine character indeed. Now what is it that you want to know?

 

[Visigani]

Well, ahem. I was wondering how I could make it... better... without going TOO far off the Roquetor scale. =)

Newp, you can trade in their one level for a character level. Za ha!
