The Madman strkes again Board Idea this time

For the Character build board maybe a subboard for character builds beyond level 40.. Most of the posts there are just basic builds but considering that HG goes to 60 I would expect more builds based on the 60 level concept showing at least how most of these builds can end up once they reach tru legend status. If I want epic character builds there are so many sites for that already.

I believe it is assumed that you know how to add the bonuses attained from legendary levels, and in many of the posts it specifically outlines what feats, skills, and abilities you should be taking in legendary levels. But for those posts that might only post the final stats at level 40, most of the time you can just do the following:

-Add 10 + x to the primary ability (where x is the number of Great Ability feats you will take in LL)

-Add 5 to the saving throws

-Add 7 feats of your choice

-Add (HitDice + Con Modifier + Toughness) * 20 to the build's HP. If you are upping your constitution throughout LL, you cannot do a simple calculation, you have to do calculations for each level as the modifier changes and add them up at the end, along with the (Con Modifier Added * 40) for retroactive hitpoint gain. HitPoints gained are not retroactive for LL, so increasing your con modifier will only effect levels before 40 and levels you have not yet taken. It's a complicated system that has several nuances, but I hope that explanation worked.

There are other small factors that I didn't mention in the above breakdown, but the above points are usually the important ones. Making a separate sub-board for something that should be easily calculable doesn't seem worthwhile. Whichever number is the biggest in the Topic title, just add 20 to it and voila--legendary build (ex. 25 Rogue/8 Fighter/7 WM = 45 Rogue/8 Fighter/7 WM). I suppose that if there is really that much need for people to know what the build will be at L60, we can just modify the Format for Posting builds. I just don't see the need yet.

Pretty much what baldy said. writing 45/10/5 would be more confusing to me, and LLs are not some special subset of builds.
