I was just wondering what the highest (All round) Defences that people have come up with.

The best I've managed is:
Lvl 30 Goliath Paladin/Fighter,Shield Adept, Adamantine Soldier

Stats as follows:
Str: 22
Con: 15
Dex: 10
Int: 20
Wis: 12
Cha: 23

AC: 50
-((25 +20 [+6 Godplate Armor] +1 [Plate Specialisation] +2 [Heavy Shield] +2 [Adamantine Soldier]))

[B]Fort: 46
-((25 +6 [+6 Amulet] +6 [Ability] +2[Shield from Shield Adept] +1 [Class] +6 [Feats-Epic Fort and Robust Defences]))

[B]Ref: 45
-((25 +6 [+6 Amulet] +5 [Ability] +2[Shield from Heavy Shield] +1 [Class] +6 [Feats-Epic Reflex and Robust Defences]))

[B]Will: 45
-((25 [base] +6 [+6 Amulet] +6 [Ability] +1 [Class] +6 [Feats-Epic Will and Robust Defences] +1 [Racial]))

Notes:

You probably would be better off being a human, for +1 to all NADS, and another +1 to one of them due to stat bonus.

Also, you can get a +3 item bonus to all NADS with a head slot (will), boots slot (Ref) and belt slot (fort) also, if you swap your dex and int, you can pick up agile armor for another +3 to your AC when your not bloodied.

What's your highest for level 1? Most of the games I see start closest to there than level 30, so that's the level at which I'm more curious.

At level 1?

Probably Human Paladin, because of the +1 to NADs

Str: 16
Con: 13
Dex: 14
Int: 8
Wis: 10
Cha: 16

AC: 20 ((10 +8 (Plate Armor) +2 (Heavy Shield)))
Fort: 15 ((10[Base] +2 (Human Paladin) +3 (Ability)))
Refl: 16 ((10[Base] +2 [Human Paladin] +2 [Ability] +2[Heavy Shield]))
Will: 15 ((10[Base] +2 [Human Paladin] +3 [Ability]))

Implementing this we get:

Lvl 30 Paladin/Shield Marshall/Adamantine Soldier

Str: 20
Con: 15
Dex: 20
Int: 10
Wis: 12
Cha: 24

[B]AC: 53
-(25 +24 [+6 Agile Specialist Godplate Armor] +2 [Heavy Shield] +2 [Adamantine Soldier])

[B]Fort: 49
-(25 +6 [Magic Amulet] +6 [Feats-Epic Fort and Robust Defences] +5 [Ability] +2 [Heavy Shield] +3 [Belt Item] +2 [Human Paladin])

[B]Reflex: 49
-(25 +6 [Magic Amulet] +6 [Feats-Epic Reflex and Robust Defences] +5 [Ability] +2 [Heavy Shield] +3 [Feet Item] +2 [Human Paladin])

[B]Will: 49
(25[Base] +6 [Magic Amulet] +6 [Feats-Epic Fort and Robust Defences] +7 [Ability] +3 [Head Item] +2 [Human Paladin])

A definite improvement. There's also a Neck slot that gives +2 AC and reflex until first hit, so that might be helpful.

Anyone have any more ideas for improvement? As it is Tiamat needs a 17+ to hit with her basic attack and an 11+ to hit the character's NADs. :smallbiggrin:

While Orcus himself needs an 18+ to hit AC, and a 16+ to hit NADs.
