Ironwood - Survivalist Staff Master

[OldAquarian]

Warforged: 12 Rogue(R): Thief Acrobat / 6 Monk(M): Ninja / 2 Paladin (P)

The idea of this build is to take a staff build and sacrifice some dps for a lot of survivabiity
In the process I added reasonable Trapsmith capabilities

Rogue 12
- required for Thief Acrobat II - staff bonuses
- Immune to falling down
- CON: Not taking the standard Rogue 13 for 1d6 more sneak attack and improved evasion feat

Monk 6
- stances
- Most importantly adds Ninja Spy Shadow Fade

Paladin 2
- CHA bonus adds to saves - this the reason for NOT taking 13th Rogue level
- Toughness
- Mini Aura when no paladin is around
- Mini Lay on Hands
- Mini Smite

Warforged
- Immunities: Drowning, Life Drain, Fatigue, Sleep, Hold Person, Energy Drained, Nauseated, Exhausted, Poison, Disease, and Paralyzed
- CON/HP
- Power Attack/Glancing

Damage Mitigation
Ninja Shadow Fade - Incorporeal
- Cost: 15 Ki
- You focus your Ki and draw shadows around you, becoming invisible and partially insubstantial. 25% \
- - miss chance due to incorporeality. Counts as a dark move.

Plus one of the following Concealment (they don't stack):
Blur Clicky (supposed to stack)
- An ally's outline becomes slightly blurred, granting a 20% miss chance on attacks against the ally.
Cloudkill Scroll
- ... (attackers have 20% miss chance) ...
Displacement Scroll
50% Concealment
Sleetstorm Scroll
50% Blindness - 50 seconds and best part is you are immune to the falling down part
Also: Radiance II Weapon/Radiance Guard/Smoke II item/Cloak of Night

- Chance to be hit Blur/Clodkill= .75 * .8 = .6 or 40% Miss
- Chance to be hit Blind/Displacement = .75 * .5 = .375 or 62.5% Miss


- Note: Also try to get a Divine Power Clicky for full BAB

Levels
1 R - THF
2 M(Toughness) .................... [for less dying]
3 M(Power Attack) - Cleave .... [works now]
4/5 M(Path of Darkness) ........ [Ninja required]
6 M- Quick Draw ....................[faster boosts]
7 M(Dodge) ...........................[Ninja Required]
8/9 P - iTHF
10/11 R
12-14 R - IC:Blunt
15-17 R - gTHF
18 R(Opportunist) - gCleave....[Note that this is a separate timer from Cleave]
19/20 R

Stats - Only a +1 DEX Tome is needed for Adept of Wind - but using +2 tomes for comparison purposes
STR 17 +5 Levelups +2 Tome = 24 + 6 Item = 30
DEX 13 +2 Tome +3 Rogue (Required) = 18 + 6 Item = 24
CON 16 +2 Tome = 18 + 6 Item = 24
INT 10 +2 Tome = 12 +6 Item = 18
WIS 6 +2 Tome = 8 +6 Item = 14 (dump stat - will saves will be high and mostly irrelevant on a WF, and AC won't be high enough to matter)
CHA 12 +2 Tome = 14 +6 Item = 20

Hit Points
72 : (R) 6 * 12
48 : (M) 8 * 6
20 : (P) 10 * 2

Skills:
MAX: UMD/Bluff/Diplomacy/Search/Spot/Disable Device
Jump 10 - around that
Open Lock 10 - around that
Concentration 5 - a few points - must be 15 for Shadow Fade
Tumble must have 1 point - all thats needed
Some Hide and Move Silently as well
Balance 4 - take some at level 1 if you want to make leveling easier
- but at the end it will be unneeded because of falling down immunity

If you know where every trap is you can skip or reduce Spot - but even then it's nice to find the hidden monsters
