Okay so here's the situation. The world i play on is medium/high magic. But any form of caster level (more or equal to 13 bard, any sorc, wiz , cleric or druid) results in a force taking into a faction dependant on gender. SOOOO i'd like to request a build with 0000 Caster (except ones not mentioned above IE pally) that has;

High to very High AC
Good Dev Crit
High damage with one handed weapon (Preferably bladed)
Proficient in heavy armour/tower shield.
(doesn't have to have SR)

I'm not a very adequate builder so thought i'd call in to you guys and see how you'd handle it being that your professionals and all

So yeh, help?

Numbers numbers numbers! What's high AC, what's good Dev Crit DC, what's high damage.

Star Wreck Vahn, I think the best build you could get on the server you play on (which I happen to come from ) would be the Ftr/Wm/Rogue build, which happens to be very cheesy and unliked by myself.

Since you don't want over 13 bard lvls, that limits your AC numbers unless you were a dexxer, but you wanted dev. crits. Also, paladins get medium-ish AC for a dev critter via divine shield, but you'd wind up with low dev crit DC and low AB.

So, that leaves me with going 10 RDD lvls. Buuuttt...I happen to know you wouldn't want more then 8 RDD lvls, so I'm blank on ideas, besides the boring 12 Ftr 25 WM 3 rogue (or similar variations).

But, luckily for you, I'm not the epic builder here, I'm sure someone can come up with something good for you Reply to Finn and to anyone that also wishes to know. I'd consider maybe 50-70 the amount of AC wished for this build and for Dev Crit? Whatever you consider good/high.

As i said, i'm not a very good builder :'( which is ashame heh heh.

Also, mantis brought up a good point, being that he's a good friend on one of the servers i play on so yes 10RDD or more is also out of the question im afraid sorry to be so awkward. I know how you guys like a challenge


**EDIT** As for damage, i'd say maybe a crit damage in the hundreds would be delightful Fighter/Bard/Palemaster is a fine build in a dev-crit world. With such a limit to # of Bard-levels, perhaps F26/B4/PM10?

With what kind of items? You can't expect us to know whether you get +20 armor or +5 armor, and that's obviously important in determining whether a build can reach 70 AC or not... This is why we use unbuffed stats and no magical items.

Star Wreck Argh, in my haste and new'ness to this it seems i am missing out all the vital information needed to be aided in the design of a character. Apologies on that front my friends. The items tend to go no higher than +6 on the server i play on.

Apologies for my information defectiveness....im still learning

There's a first time for everything

Anyway, with +6 items we can count on maxing two major stats and getting +30 AC items, aye? That means 90% of builds will have no problem reaching the 50 AC you specified. An AC of 80, I'd say, is getting good in your environment (that is, even the highest AB builds will start to wonder why they're having a hard time hitting you).

Following Grimnir's example, a Ftr/Bard/PM is a good melee character with nice AC. Also, considering the magic level, DEXer Monks will have a great time with +12 DEX/WIS.

I'm surprised nobody asked if this was a PvP or PvM build focus.

OK I'll ask. Is it a PvP or PvM build focus It's mostly PvM environment, however considering the faction this characters going to be committed to he'll be involved in a small/medium part of PvP.
