[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6208674, member: 23484"] That's a good start. There are more problems with this proposed build. Bracers of Defence grant 13+DEX when you use no armor or shield. So the +5 CON doesn't count in the proposed build either; better not to have the Bracers and use the Barbarian ability. So that's 23, maxing at 26 by my reckoning, for a level 16 Warforged Barbarian with the ring, weapon, and ioun stone. On the other hand, Falling Icicle's build: can be supplemented if a fighter takes a the Defense fighting style (+1). And, just before we all cry "Broken": Asmodeus still has a number of effects that can hurt this well-armoured dwarf: Authority of Nessus, Infernal Domination, spellcasting, etc. EDIT: Shield can't be used with defending great sword; full plate should only be +1. Great catch in post 17 by ccooke ! Still, defense fighting style still adds +1. [/QUOTE]
