What is the highest Str build? With out War Hulk.

[Thatwackyned]

With only WotC books, a starting 18 in str, no War Hulk PrCl, no magic items and a finish at level 20, what build would have the highest raw str score.

my friends build is:
Shifter (str)
Barb (rage)
Were Touched Master
Reckless rage

can anyone get to 50+ str?

You'll really want to look at the errata for the Eberron Campaign Setting - there were some major changes to Weretouched Master. This is one of those few cases where the errata is absolutely necessary to patch an actual problem with the printed rules.

Thank you for the post.

So, how can you get a str 40+ at level 20 with no items or War Hulk?

½-Orc / Werebear 11th level Barbarian in Hybrid Form?
ECL 20
HD 11d12+6d8
LA +3

Str 18 + 2 (½-Orc) +16 (Werebear) +2 (Level) +6 Greater Rage = Str 44?

20th level Cleric with the Strength Domain?

1/day Enhancement bonus to Strength for 1 round, equal to your cleric level.

+20 to Strength is pretty good...

To add to green_slime's werebear build:
+5 tome
half-orc paragon + orc or human paragon
warshaper

Heck, just druid with the bite of the werebear spell gets you +16. Shapechange into something big and strong also does it very easily.

half-orc paragon + orc or human paragon
warshaper

Good calls!

well i can't see a Dm allowing a Werebear char, but to get bit by one would be awsome. But for a level 20 build just using feats, how high could one get str?

But i'm seeing the trend that Druids can do everything and anything.
