[QUOTE="Ferghis, post: 5992663, member: 40483"] Have not looked over all the details to check if any of the other bonuses are all different types, but Icy Heart and Weapon Focus are both feat bonuses to damage, so you only get one of those two bonuses. I would double check all the other sources of bonuses to make sure they are all either different or untyped (only untyped bonuses stack). So, no, the bonuses you calculated are not legal. Also, if I were a DM, I'd consider Elven Chain a rare item due to its extraordinary untyped defense bonus (this item received a lot of press when MME came out), of which you should only have one per tier. You already have Pale Tooth and Helm of Seven Deaths, which are both rare items. I would discuss this with your DM. On a party synergy note, he has only 6 surges and no defensive feats, so, after soaking most of the leader's heals (he's going to be hit often due to his defenses, and targeted a lot because his tactics are to be out in the open without any allies nearby - the regen isn't going to cover all that aggro), he'll be out of surges after the second or third encounter. That might become an annoying problem for the party and/or the DM (who may be trying to set a certain pace to the adventures). Finally, I hate to say this, but there's a chance the character will be perceived as two dimensional. This depends a lot on how you play him, and the social dynamic at your table, but it's not a rare issue for killing-machine PCs. Conan the Barbarian looks good because a lot of people spend a lot of time and resources to make sure he does. Your character is going to have you and maybe your DM. So that could be a problem.
