Which is why I chose Iron Colossus.  Once you stick Psuede Natural you can even 'KIND' of see how such a creature can breed with the aid of an epic spell or two...*Shudder*  Ralph would probably eat must hundreth level parties for breakfast when you consider that 7000 damage infliction rate if he attacks WITHOUT power attack.  I  utterly fear the notion of actually LOWERING  the CR of this creature.That said alot of abilities do not stack, and as such using raw rules I do feel kind of compelled to do just that, but I will stay away.As it is I was having enough trouble figuring out what to do with all of those feats....  I had wanted to pick up just a bit more fast healing, but didn't have the Con to quallify... So would I.    I figure that enhancing a weapon with epic magic  starts with a 14 DC seed and has +3 per a bonus, starting at +1.  The means 240 DC enhancement magic to do it, that is if I am being nice.   My brother contends that +4 might be more in perspective of actual progression in the game, or at half the rate of the 'magical' armor bonus.   Especially given that it gives both an attack and damge bonus.  In such a case you need a base 315 DC.Since such a spell is virtually REQUIRED in order to take this creature on, you will probably need to be quite high level barring massive preperation, which is a sure signal it is way out of your CR rating.As such I consider 150 to be the bare minimum for a reasonble fight (barring of course some cheap tricks, that no sane GM would ever allow ).  I wonder though If I could be proved wrong  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.300th level would be overkill, at this point the listed spell could easily be cast, in addition to powerful buffs on AC, Deflection, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution... etc... turning your playering into killing machines.  Toss on dual wielding with all the feats, and possibly flurry, and monk progression to boot you could seriously dish it would with super heavy damage hits.</blockquote>
