I'm fairly new to the server, so I only have one secret subrace--and that was given to me (Thri-Kreen). However, I consider myself a competent strategist and am a "student of the game." With no BUR races, a Bane Knight is going to be really hard to pull off. However, I hate feeling limited like that, so here goes my attempt. Constructive criticism is more than welcome...comments like "wait for hound archon or baseborn titan or prismatic HD" etc. are not.
Race: Half-Dragon - Blue
Class: Blackguard(23), Sorcerer(16), Monk(1),
Align: Lawful Evil
Abilities:
STR: 19 (33)
DEX: 8
CON: 13
WIS: 8
INT: 10
CHA: 16 (18)
Statistic:
Hitpoints: 402
Skillpoints: 131
Saving Throws (Fortitude/Will/Reflex): 26/25/21
Saving Throw bonuses: Spells: +6
BAB: 23
AB (max, naked): 38 (melee), 23 (ranged)
AC (naked/mundane armor/shield only): 11/22
Spell Casting: Sorcerer(8)
Alignment Changes: 0
Skills:
Concentration 43(44)
Discipline 43(54)
Hide 5(4)
Spellcraft 32(32)
I couldn't wait until 40 for my monk level because you get Cleave for free (without Power Attack) and Hide as a class skill, both of which are requirements for Blackguard. You lose the tumble dump but with 10 Int you don't have that many skill points to throw around anyway.
Class Progression:
1-2 Sorceror
3 Monk
4-13 Sorceror
14-25 Blackguard
26-29 Sorceror
30-40 Blackguard
Pre-Epic Feats:
Toughness
Spell Focus: Abjuration
Weapon Focus: Kama (take on monk level)
Spell Focus: Transmutation
Greater Spell Focus: Transmutation
Still Spell
Blind Fight
Greater Spell Focus: Abjuration
Epic Feats:
Improved Critical: Kama
Great Strength I - VI
Blackguard Bonus Feats:
Armor Skin
Epic Weapon Focus: Kama
Epic Prowess
Epic Toughness
