Hi all,

Nevermind.
Just tried to show that saves and AC are not bad ;)

Kind regards

What exactly is it you're trying to achieve here?  Is it simply just a character which is hard to kill?  If that's it, you should be playing some kind of spellcaster.

What's the campaign setting? Allowed books?  What's the rest of your party like?

I don't know what the original post was, but have you checked out The AC Handbook?

Thank you for the link.

Basically it was a Level 18 build, being nearly unkillable (in my oppinion).
Anyway, deleted because while the character was cool, I had no idea about its story and what to do in the world :)

Kind regards

"Simple uber Defense" is Shiver + Favored of the Martyr which grants immunity to all damage unless it's both Good & Chaotic, or no real monster will hurt you and certainly 99.9% of blast spells ignored. Pick up Friendly Fire to reflect ranged attacks (both spell and mundane) and who needs AC?

From there
+5 Robe of the Vagabond of Resistance (CC/MiC, 26k): +5 resistance and +1 luck to saves.
+6 Empyreal Bracers of Armor (BoED, 64k): +6 sacred to saves, see A&E page 130 for rules on exchanging bonus types.
+5 Parry Spellstrike Gauntlet (SRD/MiC, 72k): +5 to saves vs spells and su/sp abilities & +1 insight to all saves.
Ioun Stone[Pale Green Prism](Core, 30k): +1 competence to saves.
Admiral's Bicorne (SW): +2 moral to saves, all nearby allies gain this benefit as well.
=16 to saves or +21 to saves vs magical stuff.
Which isn't too bad. Maneuver granting items and high Concentration can help as well.

Did you come close to either?

Hi,
You are right. I didnt get anywhere near that.
I kinda stuck to DMG and Players Handbook - with a bunch of added Feats that I could lookup. And no casting abilities.

And I even hoped I could skip as many as possible of materials out of those 2.

Kind regards

Too bad you decided to delete it before I had a chance to read it. I would have been curious. In case you still have the build stored on your hard drive or something, could you either repost it here or send it to me via PM.

Also, regarding AC, back on the previous forums I made a level 20 build that did not use Vow of Poverty and its armour class was around 250 without items. Only 180 or all day long, some of the tricks were temporary and only lasted a couple of rounds.
