These are your stats; 13, 16, 6, 5, 10, 18

Via templates, racial HD and the rest you can only have a level 5 character. You can have any +1 item (within reason). No unearthed arcana, and no psionics. You have been tasked to go "Undermountain." are you a bad enough dude to create a character that can survive the challenges that await?

Basic rules; no pun pun or million damage uber chargers. Half decent in a social encounter. Have fun!

While from the content it's obvious that this is for D&D 3.5, you may want to include [3.5] in the title.

Druid. 18 in wis. Done.

Dragonfire Adept. 18 in Con. Done.

Although Druid works too...

But seriously, DFA only has to worry about Con and MINORLY Cha, and that's it, you're a walking Tank after that.

I second DFA 18 con, dwarf Whisper Gnome, arctic, dragonborn, provides 24 con (+7 hp per HD), 12 cha, 13 dex, 10 int, 6 wis and 3 str. You take heart aspect so you are now eligible for Metabreath feats. The end.

EDIT: I changed the race since now he has +2 AC bonus...

Don't take Greenbound Summoning if that character will go past level 12. Replace with Rashemi Elemental Summoning (same book).

Also don't be a Human, be a Desert Orc and take the racial sub levels.

Ashbound is far better than Greenbound and is more useful at earlier levels than Reshemi, so take both.

Yeah, I was really surprised when I saw the Half-Orc sub levels for the Druid.

Did you mean "Desert Half-Orc" or is the "Desert Orc" even better?

Oops, Desert Half-Orc is what I meant.

Why no psionics?

Anyway, your parameters are too vague. What kinds of challenges are gonna be in there?

I'm thinking Lesser Tiefling Factotum with Alter Self as an SLA, EWP: Gnome Quickrazor, max ranks in Iaijutsu Focus and UMD, and a Wand of Grease. Druid would work too, but Factotums are cooler. :smallamused:

Ashbound contradicts Rashemi via fluff.Well, being from different settings tends to do that.

You have to go full-on Tiefling for that to be as broken as possible. Lesser Planetouched lose the Outsider type, and by extension all of those tasty Alter Self forms.

Strength: 24

Feats: Stone Power, Extra Granted Maneuver.

Swings a greataxe or whatever for 1d12+10 damage a swing. Has a +12 bonus to hit (14 with counterstrike), can take a penalty up to -4 to get temp HP, which is affected by his DR.

Stances: If you have friends: Iron guard's glare and bolstering voice, otherwise stonefoot stance and martial spirit.

Unfortunately you have a 1 charisma. Lol.

Well, they never say you have to be killing things...So, I'd go with Strongheart Halfling rogue, and do a LOT of sneaking. Buy a ring of sustenance so you're less likely to be caught asleep/eating.

Rashemi Elemental Summoning is from Unapproachable East 45 and Greenbound Summoning is from Lost Empires of Faerun 8 and 173.

Isn't Undermountain ruled by an insane epic level wizard? The only way to defeat such beings is the power of plot.

DFA with 18 in con, 16 in Charisma, 13 in intelligence and make the rest dump stats. You can now burn things all day every day! I <3 DFA.

With LA buyoff (or even without), a Mongrelfolk Mineral Warrior DFA would be slightly terrifying. Sure, your charisma 16 now is 10, and your int is 11, but you're a starting character with a 26 constitution, and your main attack is based off of it.
