Which do you prefer out of a Level 1000 characther?

Do you prefer a Level 1000 fighter with the ability score of:

STR: 307, DEX: 43, CON: 5, INT: 14, WIS: 3, CHA: 5

Or

STR: 102, DEX: 84, CON: 46, INT: 56, WIS: 44, CHA: 46

The first, obviously. I mean, I can make up for the lower stats easily with an Amulet of Super-Epic Health +40, a Periapt of Super-Epic Wisdom +40, and a Cloak of Super-Epic Charisma +40 (which I made myself, thanks to the item creation feats that you can select as fighter bonus feats after level 625).

But I'd switch STR and DEX. I mean, after about level 750 or so, the high-Dex finesse fighter simply outperforms your standard Power Attack fighter. One only has to take the "Infinity Plus One Whirlwind Attack" feat combined with "Ultra-Mega-Awesome Weapon Finesse".

Second one, absolutely. The ability to bench-press a mountain range isn't as important as survivability and a strong dexterity. In addition, to be frank, the second character will /always/ be better able to outmaneuver and outwit the first.

Really, the first option is dumb. 1000th level characters are a little silly, but that degree of minimaxing is just retarded.

All my 1000th level characters stats are closer to the second example. :\

Shhhh!! I didn't think anyone would tell!

Okay, well I would want my 743rd level character to be aiming for the second set of stats...

The second line. Just realize that once you use the starting gold (basically all the gold in Faerun, Eberron, or some other world) you will likely have magic items of +100 or more to each stat.

As for what I would want for a 1000+ level character (regardless of class), I think a Crystal Sphere would do nicely. I presume such would be an extremely major (and rare) artifact typically held by over-deities, but then I would expect the 1k+ level chartacter to be at least of that status. Will Ao be a member of the party or a patron giving your party some of its quests?

Not really, iots only a 1000 level character, not some broken high powered monty haul game :\

Just out of curiosity, what type of quests, monsters, etc would one face at that level. If you go by the DDG most deities are too low a CR to grant XP if conquered. Even if you go by the stats on Dicefreaks most deities, etc are still too low in CR to grant XP to a 1000th level character. Unless you are attacking small pantheons, perhaps? I honestly cannot imagine such a high level game. I once created a hypothetical 100th level character just to get a feel for what some posters on epic were talking about, but this is an entire magnitude (or three, or four) of difference.

Is it April Fool's day? Either that, or Bugaboo has finally come back to us, albeit with a new username.

Different people like differnet things in their games, EN World is proof of that. if the guy wants level 1000 characters, it's okay. For a game that requires imagination to play, sometimes the people that play it display very little.
