Any ideas on a melee character with a high dev crit and generally good AC? Cant be RDD/PM/Wiz/Cler/Sorc/Druid/SD and prob not of evil alignment either.

Bard is okay if under 13 levels of it. Build is for PvM/PvP and preferable using a single handed weapon, no two weapon fighters. Weapon could possibly be scimmy if going the WM route (I'm a crap builder btw )

Paladin would be okay as a smite-aholic but alignments for all creatures is too diverse to work. On a server with say +5 items are highest. Endalyor plays on the same one if that helps Not sure of the norm AC

Preferably not dwarf also, or any of the short ones bigger than elf-halfelf is fine (inclusive)

Well, when you ask for high AC dev. critters, RDD or PM comes to mind.

But since you cannot use that, the highest AC you could get on a devastating critical build would be Paladin, via Divine Shield. But you'd want a tumble class, which limits out WM unless you want to be feat starved.

So, something like 15 Paladin, 22 WM, 3 Rogue should work. If not, 26 Paladin, 6 Monk, 8 Fighter could be your fancy. I found nothing in the pulsecap's build search for you though. And since I no longer have NWN installed, I cannot cook anything up for you too easily.

This is where I leave it to the better builders out there, I'm sure they can cook you up something.

*Curses all those tall-dudes gloating right now on their "superiority".

Well, you've got no Druid, which is bad 'cause Druid is the only class that can self buff STR to cap, but you can take Barbarian anyway to increase your STR quite good, probably a Barbarian / Weapon Master, that's as far as Dev Crit DC though, check Mithdradates' Chosen of Tempos V. 2, really powerful there, covers for the AC with DR 14/-.

It should be known, that capping 2 stat categories is very easy on this server, with little-to-no faction gear. So, STR and CON could be completely capped via gear alone, without feats/spells/potions. +5 is the highest AC and weapon enhancements go, though. Bugger...

Then I guess there isn't too much to do about STR, you can't use RDD anyway. If you only want decent AC you can always go with a Cleric / Weapon Master, that settles about all your stats to good numbers. He says no Cleric either. Making it tough on himself. i would really think fighter/bard/WM, or mayyyybe Bard/CoT/WM, that would be a cool combo.
16Bard/Cot8/WM16. A fighter could get a higher AB, but the CoT nets you better saves, which might be crucial in a dev-crit place.

CoT for the above + better saves.
WM (enough lvls of it) for better AB.
Rogue (taken after lvl 20 for optimal AB) for better defence (tumble, evasion etc.) and sneak attack bonus.
Monk (taken after lvl 20 for optimal AB) for better defence (tumble, evasion)and free Improved knockdown without Int requirements.
Half Orc for better Str (and higher Dev crit DC).

Pick, mix and stir!
