[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 5525146, member: 85158"] Well... he's a monk... Let's examine this logically. These are his abilities at level 20: approximate AC of 52, a touch AC of 32, no save lower than a 26, 400 hp, Fast Healing 3, DR 5/-, SR 25, Slippery Mind, Mettle, Improved Evasion, Energy Resist 15 acid/cold/electricity/fire/sonic. Touch AC of 32 means that you can hit him with a True Strike'd ranged touch attack. +20 from the True Strike in addition to, say, +8 from a level 16 wizard's BAB + 4 from his Dex modifier yields a total ranged attack modifier of.... 32. No save lower than a 26? Well, lower it with an Enervation if you want to target a save, or use no save spells like Forcecage, Sleet Storm, or Solid Fog. SR 25? A level 20 caster makes it on a roll of 5. A level 14 caster with an Orange Ioun Stone and the Spell Penetration feats makes it on... a 1 or higher. Conjuration spells generally ignore SR, so there's an entire school that doesn't even care about SR. Spell Resistance is a joke. Improved Evasion? Energy Resist? Don't toss fireballs at him. Let's see... what does a core only build have to offer?
