I've seen one or two examples, but I'd like a build specifically designed to take out mages.

Must Have:
- Good AB.
- Good damage.
- Moderate HP.
- At least one of the following: Greater dispelling, Mordenkainen's Disjuction, spell resistance 45+.
- Must be undispellable.
- Must be strength focused.
- Must have some stealth capabilities.
- Has to be melee focused.

All these can be achieved by whatever means necessary, as long as the 'Musts' are kept!

Looks like this could be a challange, so thanks in advance anyone who wants to submit a build, and good luck.

Based on some of the info I learned in my recent, Sorc/PM/Monk thread about SR (btw I according to one poster the SR you want is beyond the games cap iirc).

Sounds like Monks gonna fit your bill. Mostly monk and alot of it. It fits the SR, stealth, melee, damage, AB, HP requirements. If you add in a good amount of cleric (not sure how much is required before it cant be dispelled, I didnt realize that was possible) you fit your casting requirements. Maybe something like 18/18/4. The 4 being Fighter for more feats, AB etc. OR 20/20.

Really just spitballing here as Monk and Cleric are two classes I dont play as much. Monks can reach 70 SR. You will be immune to anything SR protects against with 66 SR, although with 60 you'll be safe almost every time, since most pure mages don't waste feats on penetration.

The best mage-slayer I have seen is Magebane V2 by Mithradates. I fins myself linking this build time and again. Feel free to change it a bit if you want, like taking a bit Rogue for UMD if you find out 60 SR is what you need.

You need 26 caster-levels to become undispellable. You aren't truly undispellable ever, since Mordenkainens disjunction can still dispel you, and so can Holy Avenger/Holysword.

I run the Pre-Epic Builders guild. Join and share your experience. Isn't it 25 levels to be undispellable?

Caster making dispel check: 20+15=35 (max for Greater Dispelling)
Caster defending vs dispel: 11+25=36 (the 11 is a set number right?)

People just go to 26 to get the bonus feat. Right? Right

Leave the hall! Depends on the mage types ur fighting,
If its a pure 40 wiz i like the good old 38monk 1-1 u can go various classes i like to use 1 caster lvl for truestrike and 1 pali for extra saves or i might use 1 rogue or bard for umd depends on what scrolls available

If its a pali mage i use a bg smiter with this u can kill these types of mages in 2 hits.

Or the other type of build i use is a sord rdd monk dever and i specialise in quaterstaff for the fact of using blackstaff spell whic has dispell on hit and it works wonders not many people i see utilize this spell "Obviously it wont dev a sorc pm Build" but will keep dispelling acid sheath
If ya want some lvl ups for those builds i can add them.

Regards

Dodgy

Assuming you mean a Mage/PM, smite is not granted to work especially if the Mage/PM player has got some salt in his head. My PM builds are systematically neutral. Even my evil builds do everything possible to become neutral, darn it.

I believe he means Sorc/Paladin can be taken out with Bkg Smite Good.

Star Wreck Whatever, the concept remains. It's easy to become neutral As I said, I'd do everything possible to avoid evil/good alignments in a PvP setting.
