This build is hit by the Update 2012-03-28 because "SM's also now only receive their EV concealment if wearing nothing in the offhand." In fact, they get not the +10 % boost.
Atuesuel: One of eight angels of omnipotence. He is invoked to "smoke out the monsters of hell".
This is a Staffmaster build heavy based on Bord’s Sturdy Staffmaster. It is a Staffmaster with large size and can therefore whiled a quarterstaff and a shield for high AC (131). Save are 61, 61, 61. AB = 95 (a bid low but works). Atuesuel has DEX 40 and STR 54 for stat checks that are very common in post-LL areas. This build is designed for these areas and I’ve run around Oinos for hours, works very well. (For areas before, my Wise Staff is better).
The Build:
Half-Orcs
- STR+2, INT-2 Cha-2
- All half-orcs receive the Toughness feat for free.
- All half-orcs receive the Blooded feat for free, which allows them to acquire Legendary Skill Affinity Tumble.
"Juggernaut" (secret Beyond UltraRare; changes Appearance)
- STR +6, CON +6, CHA -2, free feat: Expertise, increases character size to large, breathes water
- Juggernauts receive (Str modifier * 2)% immunity to critical hits, capped at 90%; that is, that percentage of critical hits on them will be converted to non-criticals; this immunity is based on their form and will go away if they polymorph or transform

Improved Critical Quarterstaff OR Power Critical (IC can be take with an Aug, if you find one)
Arcane Spec: Abjuration // For Magic Armor spell +4 AC. To specialize you need to talk to the spell pedestal in the docks.
Bar: Necro/Enchantment // Not needed, really
Tome of Knowledge: Abjuration
Arti: Dex (+2 DEX & Blind immunity) or CON or STR
LL Feats (7):
LSA Tumble
LSF Abjuration // LSF Abjuration + specialization gives the magic armor spell an AC(Armor) = 20

Legendary Hardened Soul
Great STR 1
Great DEX 7-8
Skills (5,5):
Discipline 63
Listen 63
Tumble 63 in LL
Concentration 18 (+ rest at level 60 crossclass)
Intimidate 4 // Prerequisite of WM
Craft Weapon in LL
Craft Armor in LL
Open lock, disarm trap 1
AB:
95 AB = 12 (BAB) + 10 (epic levels) + 15 (legendary levels) + 22 (buffed main stat) + 20 (magical, capped) + 8 (4 weapon focuses + prowess) +7 (WM) + 2 Craft Weapon -1 Size Large
Saves:
Fort: 5+1 Base + 10 epic + 5 LL + 10 Stats + 20 Items +10 Strong Soul & Epic fort = 61
Reflex: 5+4 Base + 10 epic + 5 LL + 15 Stats + 20 Items + 2 Lightning Reflex = 61
Will: 9+1 Base + 10 epic + 5 LL + 6 Stats + 20 Items +10 Epic Will & Strong Soul = 61
AC:
10(base) +15(dex bonus ac) +20(armor ac with Abu) +17 (deflection ac)+ 20(natural ac with Tensors) +20(dodge ac) +12(tumble ac) +2 (armor skin) +2(craft armor) + 14 Shield (BUR Impasse of Impulse) -1 Size Large = 131 AC
For Asmo Arti (20 deflection) + Girdling + double demi + full craft armor this is 139 AC.
These calculations are for +14 stats+dex arti (no demi).
This char gets Epic Will from Dim Mak Robes from an Augumenter.
While leveling to 60, use an item that grants the Shield proficiency. At level 60, there are BUR shields like “Impasse of Impulse” that have that feat and don’t interfere with ethereal visage spell.
I dropped the normal LSF Divination route for 2 more feats.
