This will be the True Reincarnated version of my level 20 stalwart defender. I want to hear other people's opinions and suggestions before I do True Reincarnate. True Reincarnating will give me the fighter past life feat, the two points to intelligence I need for combat expertise, and one more armor class from the selected past life feat.

---------------------------------------

37.5 UMD Total, Not quite no-fail heal scrolls but close. Should have to roll 3 or above.

---------------------------------------
I will also have 50% healing amplification from being a Human and Hound Bracers.
---------------------------------------

The pre-True Reincarnated Zinroko has tanked orthons in VoD without taking damage, and only has to be scroll healed while tanking sully. Theoretically, I suppose I would be able to solo Sully while heal-scrolling myself if I had some disintegration guards and stuff like that.

This build does have a downside, however. Even when using a Min II Khopesh I do not do as much DPS as I would like to. My crits normally come in around 120 or so without any buffs, and not in my stance. The highest crit I have ever gotten is a 172 on a smite evil crit (Only 2 levels of paladin).

Bump?

[SwampYankee]

I have a question about healing amplification as well, will the 20% healing amplification from Levik's Bracers stack with a 60% healing amplification shroud item, and the 30% healing amplification you get from human enhancements? If it would, it would be pretty cool to UMD heal scrolls and get over 300 HP a pop

[zefirus]

I would remove the heavy fort off your armor and put +5 prot on there...
Not sure abuot stacking with the healing Amp... be nice to know myself if it did.
Looks pretty good though..

[SwampYankee]

I have the dragonmark that gives me the deflection, it gives +2 intimidate and 3 20 minute shield of faiths.

Like bonuses from items do not stack. So hound bracers will not stack with the 20% portion of the shroud item. They will stack multiplicatively(? is that a word lol need more coffee) with the 10% and the 30% portions.

[Quikster]

Also wouldnt count on being double madstoned much :P

[SwampYankee]

Can't get double madstoned with stance on unfortunately

If I could then that would be another 40 Hp... 727 hp would be nice

So I would get 90% healing amplication total then, 30% from human enhancements and 60% from shroud item. So I would get 285ish off of 150 point heal scrolls, and 570 off of 300 point heals. Pretty cleric friendly then

What i was getting at is you wont have that hp amount from madstone past 2 min, unless you keep dropping stance and activating madstone again, going back in stance. Not really worth putting madstone hp in your hp calc as its not to likely you will do that, but maybe you will i dunno.

[Aranticus]

15 cha is too high, i'd cap it at 14 and save the 2 build points for 16 str. the main flaw of your tank is it has no dps option

I fully agree. I built one similar but with the twf line. Can get a pretty respectable twf ac, and has a high intimi as well.

[Auran82]

My 14/6 Fighter/Paladin intimitank has a fairlly decent AC when TWFing, but mainly has the TWF feats for when tanking isn't needed.

Was debating whether to TR him into something like the above, but the smites and divine sacrifice are nice, lol.

If you have the dex, you may as well try to fit in the TWFing line somewhere.

even if the dex is not high enough, a fighter should still get the thf line for more dps
