I may just be wierd (which might or might not be true) and have too much time (which is true) but I think it's fun to create a 100th level character and think you should try it LordBOB.

The Ranger a.k.a. Paragon of Hatred

Hi Everybody!


I'm new to the boards, but my brother told me about this cool thread and I have spent the last
couple of days reading through the posts (I skipped the parts about plotline).

I thought about making a ranger even before I read the post by DM-Rocco:

If you are looking for a suggestion, I think a Ranger would kick ass. At level
100 everyone would be a favored enemy. You could call him Hatred, or Death or whatever. The
Bane of Enemies feat would give you a +2d6 to all damage and the Improved favored enemey feat
normally gives you +1 to all normal abilities for favored enemies (including damage) but with
3.5, I think it would be more inclined with a +2 instead as that adheres tot he spirit of the
3.5 version, which you could take, if you were nuts, 50+ times for an additional 100 points of
damage each hit.

Is there room for a Ranger (a.k.a. Paragon of Hatred)?

I belive the character creation rules are as follows:

1. Sources allowed are PHB, DMG, MM, and EPHB. Alternative sources are DMGII, MMII, MMIII, BOED, BOVD,
   Deities and Demigods, and Faiths and Pantheons. Everything from the alternative sources is up for approval.
2. For ability scores use the Elite array or the 30 point point buy. All abilities automatically get a +5
   enhancement bonus (a compensation for the 27*10^6 gp). A character can be of any age.
3. A character my have one base class, one prestige class and one epic prestige class.
4. When calculating skill-points keep a close eye on your Intelligence. Skill-points are not retroactive.
5. The Leadership feat is not allowed.
6. You have 250,000,000 gp to buy magic items for.
7. All magic items from the DMg and the EPHB are allowed. Homemade magic items follow the creation rules in
   the SRD and the following guidelines:
   - No item may be exceed 50,000,000 gp in price.
   - Ability increases are capped at +50 enhancement.
   - Skill increases are capped at +100 competence.
   - Weapons are capped at +50 enhancement bonus. This is divided into max +25 enchantment and max +25 special abilites.
   - SR is capped at 112.
   - All bonuses on one item should be of the same type.
8. You can deviate from the guidelines, but try to not do so by too much.

Did I get it right?


BTW what is up with the preview feature? I tried 4 different computers and 3 different browsers and it doesn't work on any of them.

I agree, LordBOB, you should try it. Just take it slowly. Start with your base class, I would say monk since you end up with a better BAB. Give him 30th levels, then in your DD for an other 10, then add 20 levels of sorcerer. Adding in the other 40 levels of sorcerer are the easy party at this point, 13 more bonus feats from sorcerer. Really the easiest is a character with just one class, like a straight monk. Then you would just make a 20th level monk, add 27 character feats and in 16 epic bonus monk feats and then go nuts for gear.

I would suggest making a 100th level monk to start out, don't worry about gear, pick that later. Once you look at your naked 100th level monk, then ask yourself what you might like to improve on, at that point you will have a better idea of what goes into such a character and you can go back and add in other class if you need them.

Paragon is a template, right? I don't think we are allowing templates, just trying to keep things simple. A 100th level ranger is 100% better than a fighter since they would have all that bonus damage and everything would be a favored enemy. Feel free to make that if you wish, but sorry, no templates.

Not sure about the preview feature.

Comments...

I really like that Monk / Sorcerer / Dragon Disciple plan. I might work one up and submit it for review... (Unless you don't want me to. I don't want to cheeze LordBob out of his excellent idea. )

I believe Excellent Student was just giving his character concept an evocative title. A 100th level Ranger could be characterized as a "Paragon of Hatred", since he would have favored enemies of just about everything in the universe, right?

Well, it could be, but I also think there is a Paragon template and I don't want confusion. Ozmar the Soon to Become Involved, go ahead and make one up and join the crowd. Unless someone else is planning on such a thing I might just make up that ranger for a bit of fun. But I want to start on the story line, so I will give others a chance to do what they want first.

Ideally, I think it would be good to make a character covering most of the bases just so people who don't want to make their own 100th level character have a wide selection to choose from, so we really need a cleric, a druid or combination of the both, a wizard, a monk a ranger and a paladin. Of course CRGreathouse had said he was planning on making a paladin, but I haven't heard from him in a while.

Yup! (Though a race called Hatred would be appropriate for a ranger )

I'll go right ahead and make him. I'm planning on making a 100% ranger, but if anyone has a cool prestige class for rangers i'd appreciate if you'd mention it.

Sounds good, welcome aboard.

You could try 10 levels of horizon walker, that would give you good bonuses to many skills, in the end, I think it is like:
+4 to swom checks or a +10 swim speed
Immunity to fatigue and anything that would cause you to become exhausted
+4 to hide
+4 to hear
+4 to move silent
+4 to climb or +10 climb speed
+4 to spot
darkvision 120 feet
resistence 20 fire/cold
+30 fly speed
shifting
alter alimgment
tremorsense

Plus you would basically get another +1 to hit and damage every creature.

Also, shadow dancer or duelist is also a very good choice, but I was thinking of making a straight duelist with a 300+AC .

Hey, I'm working on this monk/sorcerer guy, and I can't recall... did DM-Rocco ban epic spells? So far I've decided to go the epic spell-casting route and have only purchased straight "by the book" spells, but I might want to create a few unique spells as well. I'm just thinking about a straightforward spell like an epic mage armor that adds +40 or +60 instead of just +20 to AC.

And another thing...

What if a sorcerer takes Automatic Quicken? I'm building this sorcerer, and I've taken Arcane Preparation and Quicken Spell, so I know I can prepare a few quick spells for the day and cast them quickly, but what happens if I take Auto Quicken? In reading the feat:

The character may cast all 0-, 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-level spells as quickened spells without using higher-level spell slots. The normal limit to the number of quickened spells a character may cast per round applies. Spells with a casting time of more than 1 full round can’t be quickened.

This seems to say that it will work for the Sorcerer. Note that Auto Quicken is not a Metamagic feat. You don't "apply" it to a spell, and it therefore doesn't increase the casting time of spontaneous spells. It is just a feat that gives the caster the ability to cast certain spells as quickened spells. So I think this should work fine for a Sorcerer.

There, I answered my own question.
