Sonic King (32 Barbarian, 3 Paladin, 5 Harper Scout)

Open Subrace Barbarian, very solid one.
The class combination of 32 Barbarian, 3 Paladin and 5 Harper Scout is very overpowered, and so I thought I post one. Paladin levels increases saves, and give immunity to fear and poison. With 5 Harper Scout, the Harper boots can be found and used that gives +2 Attacks. (and Harper gives +2 Dex, and UMD that allows to use scrolls). This build is designed as a "uni-str-tank": Main stat is strength, and dexterity is high. In this case strength will be 54 and dexterity 40 (both buffed with +14 items at level 60). Uni-tanks can stand both strength and dexterity checks. This tank can tank in Hells. With 40 base strength the Sonic King gets immunity to critical hits ! At Barbarian 30 and total character level 35, characters can acquire the ability to enter Shapestrong Rage, which will allow them to change size at will. By doing this, the Barbarian can have a double weapon in one hand and a shield in the other. Together with the Harper boots, this build will have 4+3+2 attack at attack bonus (AB) of 95; 4+3+2 Attacks means at 95, 90, 85, 80, 95, 90, 85, 95, 90. With Thundering Rage this Barbarian has 10d10 Sonic damage added to the weapon.

I have a few builds similar to this one. I enjoy it as the damage is pretty nice.
However at first I used the secret Sub-race: Prismatic, which grant some good immunities at similar attributes and since it's pretty easyto get, you could advice getting it.
Then I upgraded it to Half-Guardinal, netting better attributes and evasion.

[tyranlthixis]

A good damage per second tank and some nice stat breakdowns at the end. It looks like you didn't finish the information part of the build. I can't even consider it for the contest because it doesn't meet the build standards of the forums. Anyway look to extra credit after winners announced or i'm going to have to move the build.

[Torin]

Yup, the deadline was near and the first version of the build took more time than I expected. I'll add additional informations later; please don't move it.
