CAN YOU POST A LINK TO A BUILD SOME HAS MADE PLEASE!
OR IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A BUILD SPECIALLY FOR ME PPOST IT IN THE USUAL FORMAT HERE PLEASE WITH ALL THE INFORMATION!
I play on Life vs death and there are alot of good tank builds because loads of spells are nerfed so not many spellcasters but still a few.
Please can someone find me a link to a tank build that can take alot of beating before dieing but can still dish out quite a bit of damage.
I was hoping for a barbarian or DwD because I haven't really played those classes yet.
Also Dev Crit and HiPS is disabled.
The reasnobly priced normal items go up to +7 or +8 and +9 for pure classes.
Pure Classes get more gold and spme special items that are very good.
If I remember anything else I want to add the this i'll put it in a new post on this thread.
Usually it's a kill king/queen map but you have to bash a door to get in first so it's less likely i'll get flatfooted than usual.
You level to 20 when you start then fight your way for xp to level 40.

Also Alignment Shifts aren't allowed.

Afaik, LvD allows alignment shifts. But Pallies and Clerics are nerfed pretty badly there, so I'd recommend a Bard Ftr RDD.
Though I suppose if your heart was set on a Barb or DwD, you could go 28 Barb 2 Bard 10 RDD. Decent AB, could get EDR 9/-, and Mighty Rage.
Is Mestil's Acid Sheath or Elemental Shield spells nerfed?
If not, then take a look at my Epic Gargoyle tank.

Take the improved version lower in the message thread.
Druid(5), Shifter(11), Wizard(24), Gnome
Use disarm to provoke an AoO on yourself and force the other guy to hit your damage shields.
Tanks eh... well I love the Dwarven Defender class so I have a few builds for all types of tanks I'll drop the links in case they are of some use:

Yeah damage shields are nerfed because you can't stack them and...
Mestil's is reduced to 1d4.
Elemental Shield is only 10% immunity to fire and cold and I think it's 1d6.
Death Armour isn't nerfed I don't think.
Are where can you do alignment shifts on LvD?

Also no dual-weilding kamas or kama with another weapon.
Disarm disabled aswell.
Alot of Smiters and WM's on the server.

Then give more information man, you just want a tanker with no specifications but you didn't say anything about any of the builds I gave you to look at, so I don't know what is it you need in order to try and make you a suitable variation. _________________ "My name is Thaxll'ssyllia, but you simians may refer to me merely as "Sir", if you prefer a less... syllable intensive workout."

Oh sorry I forgot to say I'm going to use Terrifying Tank.
Kind Regards Willwoms _________________ Willwoms is the most super, amazing, fabulous, marvellous, exciting, dangerous and lethal dex sneak in Life vs Death.Well will be eventually. *slits your throat*.
I've just found put you can do alignment shifts on LvD so if someone could find me a tank with my requirements without alignments shifts that would be really helpful.
I've just had an Idea:
I could have an AC tank(can't hit them) with all the requirents except DD or Barb and all other tank related things!
Kind Regards Willwoms _________________ Willwoms is the most super, amazing, fabulous, marvellous, exciting, dangerous and lethal dex sneak in Life vs Death.Well will be eventually. *slits your throat*.
Well... I kinda gave my builds already, so no can do.
For an AC tank... well, take Pale Master and tons of DEX, some Rogue, Assassin, Shadowdancer or Barbarian for Uncanny Dodge or Dwarven Defender for Defensive Awareness. One of those is definitely needed. _________________ "My name is Thaxll'ssyllia, but you simians may refer to me merely as "Sir", if you prefer a less... syllable intensive workout."

I made this back on the 9th for you, but before I posted it, you announced you had made a choice. It isn't an AC tank, but he can take quite a beating with 24/- damage reduction and tons of health. With 26 strength, Epic Weapon Specialization, and Weapon Master-enhanced criticals, he can do a lot of damage, too.
* For the almost-never-resisted blunt damage, choose either Warhammer for sword-and-board style, or Heavy Flail for 1.5 x STR damage bonus.
Skills: 129 points Discipline 43(51) Intimidate 4(2) Lore 4(5) Spellcraft 19(20, cross-training: 38 points) Tumble 20(21, cross-training: 40 points) _________________ Great Research Tools: NWNWiki NWN Epic Character Build Search Engine The NWN Vault
Here's an AC tank I just threw together. Your AC should be pretty good, with +12 from PM, +8 from Tumble, +2 from Armor Skin, and +11 from DEX. With those skills, you should be able to find, disarm, and set all standard epic traps, and recover all deadly (but not epic) traps. I don't do PvP, so it might not be perfect for your purposes.
I just remembered that Epic Dodge is nerfed on your server, so take Critical Strike or Improved Sneak Attack instead of Defensive Roll, and Epic Prowess instead of Epic Dodge.
Untouchable Rogue(14), Bard(4), Pale Master(22), Halfling At 20: R(12), B(4), PM(4) Non Lawful, Non Good, PvM (and maybe PvP) STR 12 DEX 18 (32) CON 14 WIS 8 INT 14 CHA 10
* Choose Mace for the almost-never-resisted blunt damage, or Shortsword for the 19-20/x2 critical threats.
Skills: 290 points Disable Trap 34(38, including synergy bonus) Lore 27(33, including Bardic Knowledge) Open Lock 40(51) Perform 9(9) Search 40(42) Set Trap 32(45, including synergy bonus) Spellcraft 43(45) Tumble 40 (51) Use Magic Device 25(25) _________________ Great Research Tools: NWNWiki NWN Epic Character Build Search Engine The NWN Vault

Thanks for those so much I don't know where to start.
Probably AC tank.
I've got to get my mage to level 40 first though (only a few more levels).
Thanks so much!
Also Scimitar would probably be better than shortsword for crit range...

You seem to be slightly confused about the use of finessable weapons. The feat weapon finesse; http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_finesse can only be used in conjunction with a small weapon i.e. one that can be wielded one-handed for all races. The only exception to this is the rapier, which AFAIK cannot be finessed when used two-handed (with a gnome/halfling).
Normally the only stat which determines your AB bonus is strength. Finessing a weapon enables you to change your AB according to dexterity, not strength. Which means that the only way to use any weapon other than something small or a rapier and achieve any kind of AB is to focus on strength.
Hope this helps, Kurth

My suggestion is Ftr/Bard/PM or Paladin/PM. Maybe even Bard/RDD/PM. They can deal damage instead of just standing around, unlike the earlier rogue build. _________________ " -- They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more."

Sorry I forgot Scimitar wasn't finessable.

Is there anything in Untouchable I could swap for Curse song bearing in mind ED is removed?

I'm sorry, but looking at all the things that are disabled on this server... (and there's probably more than what I mention here) ... like no Dev, no Hips, no dual-wielding kamas or disarm, is just plain ridiculous, especially for a PvP server. How is that anything like playing NWN at all when you take so much of the core of the game away? You may as well play a different game than NWN, because it sounds like your server has basically removed some of the coolest things about the game, and consequently, the fun as well.
I'd have to agree with Hiwatt here. For a PvP server to disable crucial skills, which can be "balanced" effectively through other means and even just counter-builds, is ridiculous IMHO... Especially the kamas
In addition to the changes I already suggested for the feats at level 27, you could take Curse Song at level 15 and move Expertise to level 18, and drop Improved Expertise. There it little point in doing so with only 4 levels of Bard, though. _________________ Great Research Tools: NWNWiki NWN Epic Character Build Search Engine The NWN Vault
Ok I forgot there was hardly any bard.
