Sting of the Salamander 2Brd/9BDD/29AA
pros: high ab, decent listen, high damage (+16 from strength), 7 attacks per round with DB bow, resists most pf and male kd checks, high reflex save, high parry, 60% irreducable immunity to any of cold, acid or electricity, 25% fire resistance, decent discipline for a dexbased character, scores x4 crits with 15% chance.
cons: low ac when using bow, low ab when using shield, no evasion, no innate/buff conceal, hideous to look at (imo). defense is all in knowing where not to stand.
elf - Salamander
starting stats+sub+level60buffed:
STR 14+6+6+4+12=42
DEX 18+2+14+8+12=54
CON 12+2+12=26
INT 12+2+2+12=28
WIS 8+12=20
CHA 12+12=24
first point in strength, then 14 into dex, then 5 into strength
level progression: 1 brd, 9 Bdd, 29 aa, 1 brd(, 20 aa)
make sure you change your path of disciple before you reach level 5.
starting feats(1): strong soul
pre-epic feats(6): pointblank shot, wf(lbow), pow att, cleave, blindfight*, imp crit
epic feats(7): epic will, great cleave, 5x great dex
bonus feats(4): ewf, overcrit, devcrit, prowess
legendary feats(7): hardsoul, lwf, 3x great dex, rapshot*, blindingspeed
*if you plan on beating quimath and using either the rapshot of blindfight pandect, take finesse instead of the feat you had the pandect in. picking either black or green will help you with this. if you do not have that pandect/are unable to beat quimath, do not bother with finesse: yer not supposed to melee, unless there's an emergency.
artifact: speed will allow you out-move mobs that bug you and land some pointy things in their eyes without being ripped apart yourself.
alternatively, you can put 16 increases into dex and 4 total into strength, and use the strength arti instead. double speed will be better for defense though.
if you think you will be able to beat asmodeus, drop another 2 points from strength into dex.

ab&ac w/bow:
16+10+9+15+1+2+2+2+22+20=99 ab (97 w/rapshot)
10+2+22+14+12+16+16+20+1=113 ac (116 w/song&girdling 117 with lots of CArmor gear)
ab&ac w/shield:
16+10+9+1+16+20=72 ab (78 w/finesse or throwing weap/sling)
10+2+22+14+12+16+16+16+20+1=129 ac (133 w/song&girdling 134 with lots of CArmor gear)
anyway, i hope to get some more tips about how to improve this build before i actually make it
