The Hit Point Super Soaker.

This isn't so much a smackdown but a min/maxing of HP:

Dwarf with 20 con, start lawful good align, switch to neutral good at 3rd level
Levels (max/avg HP at each level)
Level 1 paladin, feat toughness, 13/13 HP
level 2 Ranger 10/5.5
level 3 cleric, dwarf's toughness +6 HP, 14/10.5
level 4 barbarian 12/6.5
level 5 barbarian 12/6.5
level 6 fighter, dragon's toughness +12 taken twice, 34/29.5
Level 7 fighter, dragon's toughness +12 , 22/17.5
8-19 fighter with dragon's toughness taken every other level as bonus feat
8 10/5.5
9 22/17.5 + 12 dragon toughness feat
10 10/5.5
11 22/17.5
12 10/5.5 + 12 DT
13 22/17.5
14 10/5.5
15 22/17.5 + 12 DT
16 10/5.5
17 22/17.5
18 10/5.5 +12 DT
19 22/17.5
20 sorc 4/2.5 get toad familiar

Maximum HP = 351, avg = 277.5 (let's round up to 278).

Now let's add in con. 20 at first level + 5 stat increases + 5 inherent (tome) + 6 amulet of health + 4 raging + 2 toad = 42 con. A 42 con gives a con bonus of +16. 16 X 20 levels = 320 HP.

Max HP = 671, avg HP = 598.

Now, you can add temporary HP into this like aid spell (1d8), bardic music (2d10), and potion of heroism (2d10). You can also switch out a level of cleric for a level of psychic warrior and pick up the Verve power for 1 temporary HP for 1 minute. If someone wants to go ahead and look up every +temporary HP spell and magic item go ahead and add that onto what I have so far. Does anyone know how to add any more actual HP's though?

Why start as paladin and then throw away the paladin abilities later? That is, what hp benefit does this gain you?

I think that the level of paladin is for the bonus to saving throws (especially FORT), to qualify for the advanced Toughness-like feats.

The extra +2 to fort allows the character to meet the pre-req's for these feats earlier.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Nope, that's right. :) In order to get to dragon toughness, you need a Base Fort save of 11. The fastest way to get there is by multiclassing with all the classes which give +2 fort save in their first level. Going pal 1/rang 1/cler 1/barb 2/ftr 1 gives you a fort save of 11 at 6th level and allows you to take all dragon toughness feats afterward as fighter bonus feats and regular feats.
 

Ah - I see now. :p

(And the Sultans of Smack are back from page 4, BTW. :cool: )

No, we're talking about the Use Magic Device Smackdown, in which a bard pretends he's a 20th level wizard by using lots of scrolls, or staves.
