The vigilant dreadnaught is an unstoppable force of destruction. He wades into battle aware of everything around him. Few can sneak up on him even when he is at rest, as he always has an open eye out for those who would do him harm.
Race Human Alignment Neutral
Starting Stats Str 16 Dex 12 Con 16 Int 14 Wis 8 Cha 8
Final Stats: Str 28 Dex 12 Con 16 Int 14 Wis 8 Cha 8
Due to his classes this character has a max HP total of 618. Due to his dreadnaught levels he gets damage reduction 1 & 2 and takes 3 as a regular feat giving him 9/- total. Vigilant class gives great fortitude, iron will and lightning relfexes, dreadnaught gives epic fortitude, and with the epic will feat this character has respectable saves of 32 fort/19 ref/21 will. With a normal bastard sword this characters attacks are +43/+38/+33/+28 with a damage range of 16-25 per hit. For those really tough AC critters twice per day this character can activate his unstoppable ability giving him a +20 to hit on his next attack. If he is fighitng something that gives him trouble with knockdowns or disarms, he can activate his unmovable ability giving him +20 discipline, but this reduces his speed. Fortunately he can sprint once a day to make up for that lost speed. Finally he has a natural regen of 1 and natural armor of +2. In normal full plate with a tower shield his AC is a very respectable 30. Some basic magic can easily push that into the low 50s. All in all this character plays like a very solid tank, able to take damage as well as dish it out.

They are from the PrC pak. You can download the pak at NWvault at this link:

I would also like to give Anuis a lot of thanks. He and I talked a lot about different aspect in a build I was looking for, and this is the result.
Must be a record for time taken to reply to a post, ty =8)

Heh, you did most of the work.
Anyway, great build. I am curious... why take Epic Damage Reduction if the Legendary Dreadnaught already has it?
Remember the Damage Sinker? Stratovarius said that the Legendary Dreadnaught already took them, you are only able to get 9/- damage reduction, not 18/- damage reduction as you should get.
You can replace them with something different. Perhaps some feats that would boost something that is low about the build. I have no idea what the fortitude, reflex or will is. But if you have one of them that is low, you can increase it by taking specific feat.
And by the way, you forgot to include the level layout in the title.

I just took a look at the prc..it looks sweet.Do any of you know of a server(servers) that are any good, and are stable that use the prc?

I am not sure about that... I haven't played on MP lately.
However, I am working on a mod that would suit this purpose, it is mainly testing for all epic builds, including the PrC. It is also arena for two epics to fight against each others, basically fight to death. And it has PC leveler and single merchant that sells every items that exist in the game. Although I will be editing that soon so that the merchant would only sell non-enchanted stuff. But I might consider having magical weapon as well, except that it will be removed once you step out the magical items allowed arena and replaced with same type item but with no enchantments.
But I have no idea if the module would be hosted or not... the last host has not responded to my last mail in couple weeks ago.
Sorry for off topic discussion....

I let the legendary dreadnaught class get me epic damage reduction 1 & 2 at class levels 4 and 9. To let it get me EDR 3 I would of had to raise the class to 14. I didn't think it was worth the levels, when I could get it as a fighter bonus feat.
