The compliment to my previous build.

The idea was to get a good AB via AA and do damage and saves via CHA plus to try to smack someone around with a holy avenger on occasion. A more reasonable split between Dex and Cha would probably be more effective if the world is not low magic. Any suggestions for what that split might be are welcome. I think you could also change this by pumping STR a bit more if you were keen on that. The damage can go to your bow, but you lose rounds of pwnage.

most of the sky-high AB a dex-based AA has is never needed.

you achieved a good mix of dmg and AB.

Ariel, I can't help but notice that your saves in the last two builds submitted are pretty off the mark. A base save of 9 in Will? Even Rogue/Assassins don't go that low. I think you're forgetting to add the +10 for your 20 Epic levels.

Argh, you're right. That makes the saves go from pretty good to excellent, really. Thanks.
