[QUOTE="Orco42, post: 459043, member: 1111"] [b]i'll give it a shot[/b] Alright Jeremy here is my first smack down. It is a bit of a stretch but using only the PHB and Book of Vile Darkness you can have a 3rd level character do horrid amounts of damage. We will start with a Human Cleric level 3 (only a 14+ wis is needed). Str 10 Dex 10 Con 10 Int 10 Wis 14 Chr 10 The only spells that are needed are 2x lesser restoration. Now the tricky part, you need to get infected with the disease Festering Anger (from BoVD). Once the incubation time is over (usually at least one year) you get a special +2 enhancement bonus to Str (that does stack with itself) every day. Also every day you take 1d3 con damage. Since the max Con you can take is 3, and you heal 1 every day all you need are two lesser restorations and you are set. You still need to attack your enemy (or minions) quite often. Now just hide yourself away for... well lets just say 5 years. 365 (day/year) x 5 (years) x 2 (str bonus) = +3650 enh. bonus to str So then with a Str of 3660 you will have +1825 to hit and damage for melee attacks. Plus as a bonus you can carry (heavy load) something like 7.51 x 10^221 pounds, not too shabby (the sun is only about 4.4 x 10^30 pounds). The only problem is getting you DM to let you be diseased. You might be able to trick him by saying it is for roleplaying reasons "My characters family was slain by drow, so now he has a hatred so strong that he has developed Festering Anger. I know it will be a disadvantage but it really fleshes out my character." That works great if the DM does not know you are a munchkin. Also you might convince the DM to allow you to research some type of Greater Contagion spell to infect someone (yourself, but the DM does not need to know that) with a disease from BoVD. Plus I think most DM's will let a Limited Wish do such a thing. Of course the cost of having a wizard cast it for you is 2410gp, which is most of you money as a 3rd level character. [/QUOTE]
