[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 162109, member: 1194"] Dude, that is actually quite funny. LOL :) "extra-munchkiny" :D Myself, i think that even including a +5 Manual of Gainful Exercise is ridiculously munchkin, but that's the way the Smackdowns are played, grasshoppper. ;) And if you want to limit this high-STR character (to make it more "practical" : Use the Mighty Contender of Kord PrC from Dragon 283 (Brb1/Cleric8/Mighty Contender 10/Frenzied Berserker1) 20 STR half-orc +4 while raged +4 Rage spell (DotF) +6 when frenzied +2 Mighty Contender level ups +5 level ups each 4 levels +4 Righteous Might +27 from the Surge of Power 10th level Contender ability: grant an enhancement bonus to STR equal to 1.5 times your combined cleric and contender levels for 1d4+1 rounds = 72 STR (for 1d4+1 rounds) That is a real character - not only practical, that's the progression for Ubaar (see my sig) The Rage spell is written into his background. He has a magic item provided to him by a significant NPC in his life to become a great champion for the half-orcs. And this practical character doesn't use the +5 Manual ('only' 137,500 gp's) :rolleyes: He only uses spells he can cast himself and a 3rd level magic item (and toss in the luckstone and ioun stone which is also supported in his backstory - he likes pretties.) So we get +41 to the STR check. And all this is almost verbatim off of what I'd already worked out almost a year ago in the Sultans of SMack thread.... Part of the reason to create Ubaar was to have a legendary-Strength half-orc character that would live on for generations in story and song thru feats of Strength exactly like this DC 50 pulverizing of stone fortresses and the like. :) [/QUOTE]
