The Bane Scout: 16 Sorc/19 BG/5 HS
The prismatic HD secret subrace and the HS secret both provide some nice elemental immunities and I've tried to combine them both in this build. The main inspiration was Azraels Black Knight build which I've had the pleasure of seeing in action a few times. Also, I was trying to build a str build that could operate easily in the black pyramid (and hopefully in Hells but who knows).
The bane knight quasiclass requirements leave very little room for making vastly different builds, so all of the useful information found in the black knight thread applies here as well (including spell selection etc.).
Base race human, subrace prismatic HD.
Starting abilities:
Level Progression: 12 Sorc/16 BG/4 HS/3 Sorc DD/2 BG/1 HS/1 Sorc/1 BG
You need to change alignment a few times when going back and forth between HS and BG.
All stat increases into str.
Pre-epic feats:
Still spell
Toughness
Power attack
Cleave
Iron will
Alertness
Blind fight
WF scim (can first be taken after the first BG level)
Epic feats (* should be taken as BG epic feats, ¤ should be taken as HS bonus feats):
* Armor Skin
* Epic Weapon Focus Scim
* Epic Prowess
¤ Great Charisma 1-2
Great Strength 1-4
Improved critical scimitar
Extend spell
Epic reflexes
Legendary Feats:
Great Strength 5-9
2 free feats (Can be used for Great Con 1-2 pre-LL)
Skill points: Get 5 hide by level 12 (need to pay cross class price for those). Before the first HS level you need disciple 4, lore 6, persuade 8 and search 4. Get those while in a class with those class skills. Get tumble to 40 on last HS level. Discipline should be maxed on last BG level.
Pros:
Cons:
Currently have this toon at level 46. Will post updates later.
Cheers,
Claus

Pros:
- 50% immune to 4 elements (fire, elec, cold and acid), 0% to sonic. Elemental shield gives additional 50% immunity to fire and cold.
- Self buffing and can use arcane scrolls
- Can easily have 100+% immunity to all 5 elements and 2*25% exotic immunity.
- Saves are all 60 or better
- Number of attacks. Should have 8 attacks by level 60: 3 (sorc/bg) +1 (haste) + 2 (HS secret) + 2 (tenser)
Cons:
- No evasion
- Getting this toon to level 25
- Being dispelled is a killer. Which means that in a lot of places a mord ring will take up one of your ring slots.
Currently have this toon at level 46. Will post updates later.
