Playable from level 1 - 40 ..PvM Build

This is another old build that didn't get posted. It was in competition with the Generalist. In the end I weighed the damage reduction against the saves. Since the Generalist could always use a scroll of premonition, he got posted. Still I think this build deserves deserves to be seen.

Advantages

-27 points of damage reduction.
-High hitpoints.
-High Use Magic Device. He can't cast spells, but he can use any scroll.
-Devastating Critical.
-Evasion. This gives him some magic defense.

Disadvantages

-41 AB. Low for a fighter, but okay for a Dwarven Defender.
-Lowish Saves. They were better than I expected but they're still pretty low.
-Low Charisma. He has about as much charm as his name.
-Doesn't hit very hard. He'd have trouble hitting an opponent with damage reduction.
