So, how would YOU make a ECL 100 character?

[DM-Rocco]

This guy has the celestial template on him. He's showing as CR 98, but I'm pretty sure he should be 100. PCGen also seems to have flummoxed on his base attack. I did not pick spells. He is equipped with only a greatsword and longbow. I forgot to take concentration as a cleric. Oops. He started with the standard array for ability points.

Spells:

Are your stats with the 25 points of ability increase and without magic items?

Also, if your going for a fighter style, Go with the Duelist class for 90 levels, when you fight defensively you would get a +90 to your AC

Insufficient information - When I'm getting into a game, what ECL the characters may be is only one of a great many bits of information I want to have before I make character decisions. This continues to hold even for absurdly high ECL. The character I design for a absurd-level combat won't be the one I design for absurd-level politics & intrigue, and so on.

Whatever you want. If you want to do combat, do combat. You want politics, do politics. If you want to be able to chew rocks and crap castles, do craft stoneworking.

Does "no divine rank" mean my great wyrm gold dragon with dragon ascendant is out?

I don't know. Maybe? Depends what dragon ascension does.

 

[HellHound]

If you want to be able to chew rocks and crap castles, do craft stoneworking.

Dude!

I sooooo need a character that can do that!

 

[domino]

I've actually gone and intrigued myself, too.

I'm thinking a tarrasque with enough ranks in monk to give him perfect control over his guts.

 

[maggot]

I'd go two levels of monk, two levels of paladin, 96 levels of sorcerer. Get the asthetic monk feat and practiced spellcaster. (I'm assuming you are going to need caster level 100 to get through the average SR that a 100th level character faces.) Put all your attribute raises into CHA and you should have untouchable AC and saves for your level.

 

[domino]

FYI, it's ascetic, not asthetic. One is sparse and spirituous. The other is pretty.

 

[maggot]

Thanks. I knew there were two words, but unfortunately chose the one I can't spell.

 

[domino]

So, nobody else is thinking that the Paragon template would be worth it?

 

[Shade]

I'd need a few hours to determine the ECL of the xixecal, and whatever is left would probably go into war hulk levels.

Alternatively, I'd go with a half-celestial LeShay dervish 10/tempest 5/rogue 19/swashbuckler 20/weapon master 10.
