Advantages
- Excellent Buffs, very very stable when fully buffed. This is the featured part of the build.
- Good natrual AC from RDD boost
- Fire immunity and other RDD abilities
- Epic Mage Warding
- Decent melee
- Plate armor with level 9 spells (still spell)


Disadvantages
- Low AB unless you find a way to cast true strike during battle.
- Only 5 attacks per round, not a true meleer.
- Low DC from only 22 sorc levels, offensive spells NOT recommened.
- Low HP for a fighter type.

Featured Spells (highly recommened)
- Bulls Strength
- Endurance
- Mage Armor
- True Strike
- True Seeing
- Improved Invisibility
- Death Armor
- Elemental Shield
- Acid Sheath
- Protection from Spells
- Shadow Shield
- Greater Spell Mantle
- Premotion
- Greater Stoneskin
- Flame Weapon
- Greater Sanc

You still have room for 3 offensive spells of your choice, take something such as bigby's or IGMS.


Fighting Habits
- Buff before you fight, swap out your shield and armor and use extended spells on the damage shields.
- Put your 3 damage shields on last.
- Only use stilled spell and extended spell... except on greater spell mantle which isn't a choice on either.


Thats my first build, if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Edited By Xan433 on 04/11/04 00:01:23 I've never built a character as far as level 40 yet, because I've not been playing that long yet, and I haven't had that much time for it, but after some failed builds I started something like this one now.

My idea was to take paladin levels instead of fighter levels, because paladins have some feats (Divine Might and Divine Shield) that use the high charisma aswell.

I was planning on making it a Sorcerer20/RDD15/Paladin5 character and putting all points in charisma instead of strength to benefit as much as possible from Divine Might/Shield.

I'm still busy developing this character though, so I can't give any build descriptions yet. But I plan on posting it as soon as I have a decent built .

Meanwhile let me know what you think of my paladin version, I probably can use some tips on DO's and DONT's .
