Evil Red Dragon: 1Bard, 9Fighter, 30RDD

[ZeroGravitySE]

I'll redo the build for:
7 Bard, 8 RDD, 7WM, 18RDD

So thats 26RDD+20RDD=46RDD Max

Dragonfear Aura - level 40: -2
Greater Dragon Breath - DC=51 DMG=24d12
Wing Buffet - DMG=9d12 DC=46

15 STR +1
20 STR +1, CON +1, INT +1 (requires Epic Toughness 5)
25 STR +1 (requires Epic Toughness 7)
30 STR +1, CON +1, CHA +1 (requires Epic Toughness 10)
35 STR +1
40 STR +1, CON +1, INT +1
45 STR +1

Not bad I guess....

Interestingly, I was thinking 2 bard 18 fighter 40 RDD - better AB that way, and the STR bonuses would make for insane damage.

Oddly, I was also wondering how a 1 bard 19 monk 40 RDD would come out - dex+wis for AC, and STR driving damage - with monk speed to offset size slowness if they truly do get big later.

I did two more builds, but the monk I can't agree with, the stats would be all over the place.

Maybe? 1sorc, 19paladin, 20rdd? lol I wonder if thats possible? Get all those bonus's for being paladin too!

I'll build it later I already posted 2 new version of the "Evil Red Dragon" for those who want diffrent flavors.

I've carried on playing my Minotaur based 2Bard/8Ftr/50RDD toon and he's up to 52 now and I'll say that they're very durable and put out a decent amount of damage, rather than using all my stats on Str I've used a few on Con to get 22 Con and the Epic Damage Reduction feats. With the right equipment and buffs an ideal up-front toon for Beholder and Dustbone runs. Add to this Pyramid and Hell runs.

using the immo glaive and mino as race it should be about 64 AB right?

What is good HP for this build at level 30? Right now I have exactly 600 HP without the equipment. With equipment I have 780 HP and im not sure if this is good or not. If you want to chat with me on game about this my Character Name is -TheFallenDragon-.
Thanks.

Depending on the final Con you have (and you really need to max this before LL as hps gained are not retrospective in LL) you should end up with about 1300-1500hp at level 60. I think my RDDs have 1498 and 1472 hps but I had a decent Con on both of them.

[aommaster1069]

How much constitution should I have by level 60 and when should I take them?

[chainlink]

You'll have as much as you've bothered to spend points on (and RDD bonus con)
FYI I ended up with 22 and 24 on my builds, any value near this should give you a goodly quantity of HPs and the ability to take EDR and yes I would recommend taking this if you can as you're not a DD.

So you think spear is the best weapon for this build?

Why is there the exotic weapon profiency feat taken then? If using spear?

I tested the build in the test module. I didn't get the 50 spell resistance? Mine is 0. My wisdom is also 6.. not 8.. with earth genasi.

And what skills are you supposed to max out? How can you max out tumble with this build or are you even supposed to max that?

[chainlink]

Get the Scythe! What's the point being huge and able to use a two handed weapon and shield and having a colossal critical potential if you don't use a scythe? IMO anyway Both my RDD scythe wielders do huge criticals and its fun to see you mash things in a minimum of hits.
You won't get the improved sr until you've either died or the server has been reset.

[..[Sirloin]..]

Ok. Thanks!

What's about the tumble and other skills? What are you supposed to max?

if the lvl progression is: 1bard/9fighter/30RDD you cannot max out the tumble.. the max you can get is 21 (20). And i wouldn't put a point into appraise.. not class skill.. not so needed.

Also, is it any useful to take Power Attack?
