This build is intended to stop at level 8. It is part of my efforts to make lowbie tag tutorials, as I want to give new players some early game utility rather than just telling them how to get the tags, so the first video will be an orientation / general tips video. This is designed to very safely use the Oltum to farm XP, for helping others level, dualboxing if so inclined, and also brewing invisibility potions very efficiently and mindlessly with almost no setup effort. Invisibility potions are incredibly valuable until well into the 30s, even if you can cast the spell or have the Sheath of Stealth.
Build is capable of dominating the Oltum almost guaranteed in combat, has high HP, Evasion, and powers the Reflex save high enough to be almost totally immune to the bandits' Great Thunderclap. It even gets Bonus Class: Ranger for a boost to brewing XP.
Human, Gnoll, any Lawful
Strength 8 (11)
Dexterity 14
Constitution 15 (18)
Intelligence 18 (16)
Wisdom/Charisma irrelevant
1: Wizard, Extend Spell, Toughness
2: Wizard
3: Wizard, Lightning Reflexes
4: Ranger, Constitution, 7 ranks Animal Empathy (junk favored enemy)
5: Wizard
6: Wizard, Brew Potion, any other feat
7: Monk
8: Wizard, Constitution, 11 ranks Concentration and Spellcraft
Equipment:
Staff of Command (Emporium Weapons) - mind immunity for Thunderclap
Robe of Cold Resistance (Clothing Shop) - reduces damage of Ice Storm
Iron Weasel helm (Rips) - reflexes +3
Greater Gloves of Animal Handling (Emporium Items)
Greater Belt of Brawling (center of Krenshar Pride set drop, east of Goblin Camp north of town)
Cloak of Resistance +3 (Emporium Items)
Rhiannon's Constancy (Rips) - knockdown immunity for Thunderclap
Scarab of Protection +3 (Emporium Items)
two Rings of Animal Friendship (Emporium Items)
Spells:
Level 1 - Protection from Alignment (use the vs Evil option)
Level 2 - Invisibility 12 minutes extended, Cat's Grace, Endurance
Level 3 - Protection from Elements, Displacement for Oltum, Haste
My tests against Thunderclap yielded around 45-60 base damage. With the above setup, you have a 95% chance to evade it, and if you don't, you still resist half the spell and lose maybe a third of your 90+ health pool. Ice Storm will be resisted for 25 points due to the belt and robe.
