[3.X] Shao Kahn - What's his build?

[gurgleflep]

How would one go about making Shao Kahn (http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Shao_Kahn) for a 3.5 campaign? I wouldn't know where to begin on building him, so I've come to all of you for help.
All books and sources are welcomed for use (Pathfinder, 3.0, 3.5, third party, etc.), but please be sure to list book names. Use your imagination and have fun with it.

[Malroth]

Lion spirit totem barbarian 2/Fighter feat variant conjuration specialist wizard 6/ Abjurant Champion 10/ unarmed Swordsage 12. Abrupt Jaunt replaces his familliar. He's definately an epic lv character but he's slightly unoptimized and unfocused, he missed out on 9th lv and epic casting due to too much martial focus and missed out on his perfection of martial arts by too much magical study.

[Emperor Tippy]

Probably variant (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#druid) Druid 19/Shiba Protector 1.

That should cover most of his abilities.

Both are good suggestions, but what about items, armor, and weapons?

[The Glyphstone]

Paragon Awakened Legendary Tiger with Perform (Oratory) and the Leadership feat.


Er...wait...

I read Tiger and the only thing that came to mind was Kintaro o_O

[Malroth]

probably was thinking Shere Kahn (http://www.animationsource.org/sites_content/talespin/upload/fanchars/pic_detail4a1ef20c642bf.png)

Okay, that makes a LOT more sense than what I'd thought. :smallbiggrin:

[Phelix-Mu]

I was drawing a blank when I read the name at first, and my mind first went to that snow leopard villain from Kung Fu Panda, for some reason.:smallconfused:

OMG, I'd totally forgotten about the not-from-the-Jungle Book-movie Shere Kahn.

[Person_Man]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRnSnfiUI54)

Now that I've got that out of my system, Mortal Kombat screams Tome of Battle to me. Maybe with a few crazy templates on top.

Yeah, my first thought was Sher Khan, though I had been thinking the Jungle Book version before the Talespin version.

It only took me a second to realize my mistake, but I decided the joke was too good to waste.

And you were very right with that. Once I was informed of who you were talking about I laughed hysterically for a good minute and a half :smallbiggrin:

As far as items go, can't deny how appropriate the mask of the skull (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#maskoftheSkull) would be. And if you pull off a finger of death, you could shout "Fatality" or "Flawless Victory"

Edit: Also, you should be a goliath wielding a Greathorn Minotaur Greathammer

This sounds awesome! Where can I find the greathorn minotaur greathammer though? Is it in the SRD?

Monster Manual IV pg 101

it's an exotic weapon for non-minotaurs, but one of the few decent exotic weapons

Thank you for specifying a page :smallsmile:
Now that I hear the book though, I believe I've seen it. The minotaur holding it's blue, isn't he?

Yep, that's the one, babe the blue ox

It's too bad about the druid variant giving up wildshape, because if you used the Frostburn feat Frozen Wild Shape, you could become a Cryohydra.


Which would be like Shao Kahn's animality in Annihilation
