[QUOTE="Rkhet, post: 2363280, member: 31318"] 1. Once you hit epic levels, you no longer gain BAB. You instead gain an epic bonus (which doesn't give you extra attacks). So your BAB should be +19/+14/+9. [edit: hmmm... actually, disregard that. Not quite sure how that figures in with ECL.] 2. Twink the weapons a bit. Flaming Burst is not worth the +2 at these levels. Get Wounding: -1 Con is -15 hp for a 30hd creature. Magebane's also nice, since pretty much everybody at these levels fall under the description. Since we'll be fighting Abominations, Evil Outsider Bane can't go wrong. And also, get Keen instead of using a feat on it. If you don't have the money to get a full +10 weapon, the enhancement bonus should come last, since you can just get the caster in your party to cast Greater Magic Weapon on them. 4. Buy a rod of cancellation or two, or maybe some way to cast Disintegrate. Otherwise a simple otilok's resilient sphere or forcecage and you're boned. 5. With strength like this, do you really need weapon specialization? Get spring attack instead. Or maybe some monstrous feats to take advantage of the flight speed. Or maybe pump up ride and do the lance cheese. I don't play fighter much, tho, so I don't know the details. 6. Inherent bonus to Int doesn't get you new languages, far as I can tell. You've got too many. 7. Don't bother spending so many ranks in Tumble. The epic usage for it is a glorified featherfall spell. Get the boots of swiftness, which gives you a +20 competence (along with other, more important benefits), and use it as an untrained skill. The most you'll want out of tumble is the "move at full speed across threatened squares without provoking AoO", which is DC25. 8. Twink your stats to odd numbers, and buy +5 books instead of +4. 9. Either get Mind Blank or bump up your will save somewhat. 27 isn't good... 10. See if you could give up some things and pick up a few levels of Frenzied Berserker. Supreme Power Attack would be good with this. 11. Pick up some miscellaneous wondrous items. They're cheap, and they're versatile. Especially important for the warrior type, who don't get real spells. [/QUOTE]
