Does anybody know how to make a Monk/Fighter/Weaponmaster that would fight with a greatsword and have a high AB and AC?
~pokes~ Heya Shyne - fancy seeing you here.
This is one possibility among many. It's not the highest AB/AC mix of this kind, but it's pretty balanced too.
Race: Human Alignment: Any Lawful Build: Fighter 12/Weaponmaster 22/Monk 6
Starting Stats: STR 16 DEX 13 CON 16 WIS 8 INT 13 CHR 8
Level 14: Fighter Skill Points: Discipline 1, Save Rest
Level 15: Fighter Skill Points: Discipline 1, Save Rest Feats: Cleave, Great Cleave
Level 16: Fighter Stat Point: STR Skill Points: Discipline 1, Save Rest
Level 17: Fighter Skill Points: Discipline 1, Save Rest Feats: Improved Expertise (For the AC you wanted)
Level 18: Weaponmaster Skill Points: Discipline 1, Spot 5, Save Rest Feats: Blind-Fight (For a better chance against concealed enemies. You could take Disarm - you gain an advantage for using a large weapon. You could take Improved Power Attack for high-HP, high DR, easy to hit enemies. You could also take Great Fortitude to aid in avoiding Dev Crit)
Level 20: Weaponmaster Stat Point: STR Skill Points: Discipline 1, Spot 1, Save Rest -------------------------- Continued later, gotta go. _________________ If you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin to the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips. -Birgitte
Wheel of Time - The Third Age
Level 21: Weaponmaster Skill Points: Discipline 1, Spot 1, Save Rest Feats: Great Strength I
Level 32: Monk Stat Point: STR Skill Points: Discipline 1, Tumble 5, Save Rest
Level 33: Weaponmaster Skill Points: Discipline 1, Spot 2, Save Rest Feats: Epic Skill Focus: Spot (This can be especially useful if you fear powerful sneaks)
Final Skill Points Discipline 43 Spot 43 Tumble 40
You also have 50 skill points to do with as you please throughout levelling. I advise ending up with something like this.
Taunt 21 Open Lock 1 Disable Trap 1 Heal 5
Taunt is an underrated skill, and many melee characters do not take Concentration to combat it. The others could really be anything you want.
--------------------- Notes: If altering this build, do *not* add monk before level 20 – you will lower your BAB. Make sure you have a final Monk level at level 37 to maximise tumble. Otherwise, change levelling order as you wish.
If you are able to get high DEX and WIS (Monk AC bonus), and something like +5 Monk Clothing, you may find you have a higher AC than if you were wearing +5 Full Plate Armor! Of course, you’d need to balance that with trying to maximise your STR, and to a slightly lesser extent, CON.
If you were desperate for one extra feat and +1AB to this build, make it a Fighter 12/WM 25/Monk 3. If you wanted Improved Evasion, you could make it a Fighter 12/WM 19/Monk 9 - Monk Speed would be much more significant in this build. _________________ If you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin to the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips. -Birgitte
