Just somethign I posted on the main HotU forums a couple weeks back that I thought I would bring over here. It's a fun little evil beasty with some major defensive abilities.

Human 5 Bard/19 Palemaster/16 Blackguard
STR 14
DEX 10
CON 12
INT 14
WIS 10
CHA 16 ->26
level advancement:
1-4 bard
5-10 palemaster
11-25 blackguard
26 palemaster
27 blackguard
28-38 palemaster
39-40 bard

Feats (order not specific to levelling :
power attack, cleave
curse song
blind fight
Disarm
Toughness
weapon focus-longsword
improved critical-longsword
extra turning
epic weapon focus-longsword
divine shield
divine might
epic fiend
armor skin
epic resistance-sonic
power attack
epic mage armor
epic wardinggreater ruin
hellball
epic prowess

Skills end with maxed concentration, discipline and spellcraft.
Also it has 40 tumble and 35 use magic device. there are 5 hide for blackguard prereq, and 15 perform for bard songs. Leftovers are in listen, but can be put anywhere.

The pros of this character are Ac of 60 naked, which can easily pass 80 with some +5 or higher full plate and CHa items and a decent shield. Saves are 32 Fort/26 Ref/30 Will naked and again can be buffed up with CHA items. Immunity to criticals, thereby eliminating most melee threats for insta death. High use device allows use of pretty much any item except perhaps some extremely high end custom made gear. Divine might allows for some high damage to a lot of things that have reduction (it's a divine damage bonus after all). It also has a few summons, albeit only level 12, to help get sneak attacks in. Finally smite good will almost always land with the CHA bonus.

The cons of this character are low hit points for a melee character (mine has 342 without any CON buffs), and only average melee damage.

342... but most people won't even be able to hit you. How will you hit anything, with a str of only 14? Please use the Free Build Template.

One day I'll begin fixing the format of this old builds too... one day. It will take ages.

For the while though, I'll let this bony thing rest in peace

Cheers,
