This build was designed to destroy Grimnir77's Grim Ripper build. Lol. Just kidding.
In folklore, a Cambion was the offspring of a Male demon and a human female. NWN doesn't allow for such subraces or PrCs, and RDD is a bit overdone, so this was the next closest thing.

It's a pretty simple build, after all is said and done. Kill things with spear.
In the initial incarnation of this build, 34 Strength was taken, but doing so meant losing 1 point in Dex, Int and Chr, a loss of 43 skill points, and the loss of ESF: Taunt. While a 47AB looked really cool on a 3 APR build, I didn't find it as effective or as nasty as the 46AB version. And while 3 attacks per round doesn't look like much, he does tremendous damage on each hit, and can crank out more attacks when he flicks the spear into Whirlwind Mode--very useful against the mobs. Basically, it's a smooth blend of both offense and defense.
Only a few other builds like this exist, and they go for PM16 for the +4AC and the girly-man Epic Warding spell. This cat, I thought, could hold his own in combat without Epic Warding, and it doesn't protect one against spells anyway, so I choose Offense over defense and went for the highest amount of WM possible and still get PM10.

I'm tempted to answer your joke with the fact that Grim Ripper probably does more average damage (at 1 higher AB) without his crits, so.... But being the fair warrior I won't mention it at all.
Nice build Grizz, but is this Palemaster-season? You at least is my 'friend' in this forum and keeps a good offense in most builds, a thing I often find lacking in many builds here. Again, no story? But today perhaps I should not say that, seeing as my latest incarnation goes unsung too. Seems the muses has already taken to their fall-vacation. Ah well, I trust there are stories unsung and builds undone yet. The skalds still must earn their food. _________________ I see the fear you have inside, you can run but never hide.

Aye, my threat range is off by one, but the crit multiplier is still x4. Can i get a free fix?

Well done Dwarflord. It's indeed PM season lately, I feel inspired by the class too and Hallowen ain't yet close And it's not just PM season, there's a fair amount of Something 25-26 lvls/Bard 4-5/PM 10 builds running free.
I wouldn't worry about the 3 apr, with UMD you just need Divine Power scrolls (either in a scroll rich environment or get yourself a scribing cleric pal) and you're set. Spear's a good weapon and PM covers the AC loss among the rest. The only pity is you're missing KD. _________________ They can't stop us Let them try For Heavy Metal We will die

Nice build I think, You have the most important combat feat (BF), and good AB. But your basic damage bonus is not +16.
You have 1d8+11 (17-20x4)
