Author's Note: You must take the classes at according levels due to that the Battlerager class gives you some of the feats that is required for taking Legendary Dreadnought class for free. Plus, it gives you free feats that barbarian
normally take, such as Great Cleave, it give you freedom of picking more feats that you normally would not take.
The reason for the Epic Toughness feat selection is that the purpose of this build is to be big tank basically, and have ability to withstand heavy attacks. The upside of the character is that it is able to identify some
items(due to extra skill points).
Due to the high intimidate skill, you should be able to use Terrifying Rage efficiently.
And since you have aura of courage, it shouldn't be a problem for you to take down any type of dragon due to both HP and immunity to fear. Especially when you have Damage Reduction plus Mighty Rage...
If you rather to have High HP when in mighty rage, you can take two points out of STR and put it into CON during the leveling up. Something like level 4 and 8.
However, there is room for improvement, so I welcome any feedback about this build.
Anyway, tell me what you all think about this build. Thank you in advance.

Cool build. Looks like one tough hard as hell melee machine to kill.
Did you incorporate the bonus epic toughness legendary dreadnaught gives you into you HP total?

Yes, I did. The max HP is what I posted in the level instruction, which is 819, but you can get it higher if you switched two strength to constitution. And took more toughness feats instead of damage reduction.

Nah the damage reduction is better, as it will basically add up to a lot more sustaining power.

Hehe, that is why I did it this way first time. Epic Damage Reduction is great... especially when it is combined with high HPs.

Cant take Epic Damage Reduction as a Legendary Dreadnaught (it already uses those feats for its class ability). _________________ Player Resource Consortium

I didn't take that as a feat selection when I took Legendary Dreadnought level. I took EDR II and III at Barbarian levels.

The Epic Damage Reduction feats are USED by the Legendary Dreadnaught, they're its DR feats. This means that even if you take em, they don't do anything if you level in LD. Only get 9/- Dr, not the 18/- you should. _________________ Player Resource Consortium
Is there any way that can be coded to go further, or will doing it any other way end up with one overwriting the other?

So are you saying that I should switch that last level of Legendary Dreadnought with my barbarian level before it? Then that way, when I take barbarian level, I will be able to get 18/-?
No, it wont be, DR happens to be one of those hardcoded feat types, like Str/Dex etc.
Ok... when you says hardcoded, in my mind, it means that the DR should be able to work with DR II and III.
So, why wouldn't it work? Does it have to do with the way it is taken when you take Legendary Dreadnought class?
I am just trying to understand why it wouldn't work.

Because the feats used by the Legendary Dreadnaught ARE the Epic Damage Reduction feats. You're taking the same feat twice, a pointless exercise. _________________ Player Resource Consortium

Ok... if all three feats are used by Legendary Dreadnought, then why are the last two listed in the feat selection list? That is what I am getting from your post. If they are already taken, then those last two feats should not be on the selection list then.
Sorry in advance if I seem annoying about this. The kind of person I am is that I question every single thing, I guess you could call me "pain in butt"

That I can't explain, but if you look in the LD's cls_feat_lgdr.2da in the prc_2da.hak, you'll notice this:
That 492-494 is the feat number, and is the bioware epic feat. So, I dont know why you can select em, but its definetly taken by the LD. _________________ Player Resource Consortium

I see. I have a suggestion, I am not even sure if it is doable or not. Why not script it so that you can prevent the person from selecting those feats?
Something that would check the class amount that you have taken in the Legendary Dreadnought, if you have this amount in the overall build, you can tell the levelup not to allow them to take that feat, etc etc.
I am just throwing idea in there. I haven't looked into the scripts in details yet.
