Here's a Red Dragon Disciple Strength Tank build that is highly resistant to damage, but dishes out his fair share (at least for a meleer). It can be used by someone new to HG to get into the Hells and thrive until you can get those BUR races you need for better builds. The image on the right points to the BUR version of this build (highergroundpoa.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=builds&action=display&thread=7005). Everything is pretty much the same except the BUR build is a GDD (Acid resist instead of Fire) and has 10 more strength. Advantages include:
I include the build description below, to print it off save it into a .txt file and drag it into IE. Set all 4 printer margins to .25" and print 2 sided landscape (will fit on 1 sheet this way). If you can't do 2-sided, no worries the build will be on 1 sheet and the RDD notes on another. Enjoy, Ralkain (build follows...) |

Rescaled Fire Immunity: Instead of recieving 100% fire immunity at level 10 RDD, RDDs receive 10% fire immunity at 4 levels
RDD, +10% more for each additional level of RDD (100% at RDD-13, can't be lowered).
Rescaled AC Bonuses: +1/3 RDD levels (max +10, which is 2 more than the old scale).
Ability bonuses: They gain the following stat increases at the following RDD levels, which include legendary levels if the
character's control class is RDD. The only change in the first 10 levels is that RDDs do not get +4 strength at level 10:
o +2 Str (2/4/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50)
o +2 Con (7/20/30/40/50)
o +2 Int (9/20/40)
o +2 Cha (10/30/50)
These bonuses are gained automatically on levelup - the character will be asked to relog until they take effect.
Once they reach character level 40, they will have to seek out a particular object in order to gain further stat bonuses.
Once they find it, they will have to return every 5 levels to gain the next bonus.
Other Bonuses:
10: Improved Dragon's Breath
20: True Sight, Immunity (Sneak Attacks), SR: 20 + 1/RDD level (max SR: 70).
30: Dragon Fear (-1), Wing Buffet, Appearance and Size Change (Large)
40: Dragon Fear (-2)
50: Dragon Fear (-3)
Dragonfear Aura: Aura lasts 1 round per RDD level, including legendary levels if the character's control class is also RDD.
It terrifies the character's opponents, inflicting penalties to attack, skills, and saves on them while they are in the aura.
Improved Dragon Breath: The RDD's dragon breath gains unlimited uses, but may only be used every two minutes.
Damage and DC increase with RDD levels, including legendary levels if the character's control class is also RDD.
They are capped at certain points if the character does not have the Epic Toughness feats required.
o 6d12 each fire and negative, plus 1d12 for every 2 RDD levels past 10, to a maximum of 26d12 at RDD level 50.
o DC = 19, plus 7/10ths of the character's RD levels, to a maximum of 54 DC at RDD level 50.
The breath is capped at level 20 unless the character has the Epic Toughness 5 feat, at level 25 unless the character has the
Epic Toughness 7 feat, and level 30 unless the character has the Epic Toughness 10 feat.
Wing Buffet: Does 1d12/5 RDD (max 10d12) levels to creatures in a large-sized area, forcing a reflex save or be knocked down
(DC: RDD levels, max 50). It also clears away AoE effects in the area like a Gust of Wind.
