Killer Aura - 17 druid/2 monk/1 fighter DPS build

[pelaaja]

As you walk by a lone corridor, you notice an aura eminating from a distance. You feel your sweat on your forehead, feeling the huge heat coming from that aura. And as you walk closer, you notice a creature inside a fire sphere. The creature looks at you, but doesn't act aggressively against you. You do notice a lot of corpses laying on the floor, burning from the aura. You feel also a minor quake shaking beneath your feet. In a blink of an eye, the creature disappears. As you walk to the place where the creature was, you notice that the corpses also had a very big fractions on their heads, bones sitcking out of the skin. It seems the creature used also some kind of a blunt weapon to kill these monsters... And effectively, too.

Goals for this build:
- Self-Sufficiency
- Good saves with evasion
- Good DPS
- Fine spell damage
- Qstaff using mostly, but others can be used thanks to Fighter lvl if not in GMoF ED

17 druid/2 monk/1 fighter Half-Orc
Lawful Neutral
32-point build

18 STR (+ level-ups)
12 DEX
14 CON
8 INT ( eat +2 INT tome ASAP )
16 WIS
6 CHA

If 34-point build, put 2 points into DEX, or INT. If 36-point build, put 2 points into both DEX and INT.

Feats:

Toughness (Monk class feat)
Power Attack
Cleave
THF line (THF taken as monk class feat and GTHF takes as fighter class feat)
Improved Critical: Bludgeoning
Enpower Healing
Maximize
Quicken
( Epic feats: Greater Cleave and Overwhelming Critical )

Skills:

Max out Intimidate, Concentration and UMD. Add 1 point into Tumble at start (put 3 points into UMD) After eaten the +2 tome (or if TR with 10 INT, start), add always 1 point into Balance. If both TR with 10 INT and +2 tome eaten, your call.

Your enhancements are very short, but try to get almost all DPS related enhancements like STR, Power Attack and Aptitude enhancements with also the prestige Season's Herald.

Epic Destiny:
Mostly I've been thinking of Legendary Dreadnaught or GrandMaster of Flowers. Feel free to experiment.

(My own thought is that while using Qstaff, I'd twist Running with Wind or Walking with Waves, Hail of Blows and Dance of Flowers, but be in Legendary Dreadnaught and pick at least Momentum and Lay Waste. )
