Brother Torm (Non-Dev Crit Version)
Cleric 20, Champion of Torm 10, Monk 10
PvM 1-40
Human

A unique build in terms of quantity of class levels taken.

The aim was to make a selfbuffing fighter with decent saves, Improved Evasion, that could single handedly "get the girl, kill the baddies and save the entire planet" (quote taken from several years ago and I cannot reveal my sources). I found myself torn between Dev Crit and not, and decided on both styles, see the link at the foot to its brother.

As a meleer it is quite formidable, but will come up against the usual issues against mages with Mord's and No-Save spells. This version benefits from higher Fort and Reflex save, and better HP at the expense of no Dev Crit.

Hm, well enough. It's quite powerful. Off course only a buffing melee'r, but even the long-lasting buffs sis enough to keep it battle-ready at all times. Decent saves too. Might be worth it to pursue Cleric 25 perhaps.

I don't really like Dev crit although I understand it's power. So I like this better.

Good build from you....Samphus. And it will be a strong build in any setting too.

Dragonlance ROH is back, better than before! and I spend a little time here WoG Thanks Grim... not a huge fan of Dev Crit myself, but when I was working on this, I saw the potential it could have without sacrificing too much from the build, hence the two options.

One thing I should point out, and I only realised it after posting was that to get the flurry to work, it would have to use a kama and not scimitar.

So potentially you have another feat free pre-epic.. your choice however.
