My First Ever d&d post! attempt at warrior vs wizard pvp

[NimbleNZ]

Hi,
our very experienced DM left for an OE, im DM now, and im very newb. So i write min/max warrior vs mage builds in order to learn the game (as well as for fun).
im posting an abbreviated version of the build so its not a giant wall of text. no one likes that.
please tell me what you think

ECL 20 Raptoran: Hexblade 3, Swashbuckler 3, Paladin 2, Fighter 1, Duellist 1, Invisible blade 5, Occult slayer 5

stats:
HP: 198 (using average of HD)
Touch AC: 42 (or 43 hasted)
Initiative: 15
Speed: 80ft+30ft with haste. Good fly manoeuvrability
BAB: +20/+15/+10/+5
which makes:35/30/25/20 or 36/36/31/26/21 while hasted. Off hand: 33 or 34 (hasted)
Weapons:
+5 Keen flaming ghost touch kukri @ 1d4 + 14 and
+5 Keen shocking seeking kukri @ 1d4 + 14

saves:
Fortitude: 30 (41 against spells)
Reflex: 32/33 (hasted) (43 against spells/44 hasted)
Will: 23 (34 against spells)

Abilities:
Evasion (from item), Mettle, Arcane resistance, Weapon finesse, Grace +1, Insightful strike, Divine grace, Canny defence, unfettered defence, uncanny feint (free action), sneak attack 3d6, Magical defence, Weapon bond, Vicious strike, Mind over magic 2/day, Auravision, Blank thoughts (mind-affecting spell immunity),
30 fire resistance from ring

good:
-it should pass its saves, so mettle and evasion will reduce many spells' damage to 0.
-for spells without saves theres a ridiculously high touch AC (pesky ray of enfeeblement).
-flies fast (and good manouveurability)
-fair amount of HP
-should win initiative
-can see invisible and etheral
-does enough damage for low HP wizards
-30 fire resistance (pesky scorching ray)
-immunity to mind affecting
-some other stuff that i cant be bothered listing

bad:
-it cant teleport, im still working on that
-anything else i didnt plan for...

ummm....what do people think?

ps: i have nothing against wizards in d&d, i just like the challenge of trying to overcome their awesome versatility

Welcome. Optimized PvP full caster will destroy you. Not sure why this is pertinent to DMing. But I believe you will be ...

...oh... I know what happens next...

Too bad I got cut off.

The last words were "... a good DM."

Welcome to the forum. Question: Does the Raptoran have an ECL adjustment? You have 20 levels accounted for in your ECL 20 character.

 

[xigbar]

This is a good reference to understand what you're up against; Why Tier 1s are in Tier 1.

This is a good reference for dealing with casters, but a bit of a read. Tome of Battle gives you more options as a melee character, by the way.; Anti-caster build ideas?

Raptorans are in Races of the Wild. They have no level adjustment.

please tell me what you think

Will work against someone who thinks Fireball is the best spell ever.

 

[Jimlock]

Fireballs are cool and flashy... enervation isn't, they just drop

I've been thinking about it some more, and comparing it to the level 20 caster builds I have. To be honest, your chances of winning are rather low if whatever you go up against has been built with the same amount of effort.

Your defenses against spells seem high, but if the enemy is casting spells at you, then something has gone horribly wrong. Your offense seems powerful, but unless you knock out the enemy or stop him from casting spells in round one, then it is not enough. You do not want someone casting anything in your direction, because spells that directly affect you are not the only kind of spells that can ruin your day.

My best advice is to take the Mage Slayer line of feats if you haven't already, and Martial Stance for Thicket of Blades, but in all honesty, you're fighting an uphill battle here.

SOOOOOOO....

With this entire tier thing...If the fighter had a sword which emanated an AMF 10' radius, as long as the fighter was able to sneak right up on the wizard...hmmm....

Corny....

But...hey...if there's a weakness...use it....

But on with the scenario...a Wizard in an AMF...agaisnt a Fighter or Warrior...who's what tier at that point?
