Okay so a general Idea
I have thought of taking a crossbow build/ slapping a kapaa shield with it / and then go with a slolth domain so you can be prone without penalties.
Maybe slap a shield ward in all that some how and end up with
10 ac/improved evasion / cleric spells/ +4 ac against ranged / shield ward allowing my shield to stack against touch attacks ( i think rays and such do that).
So end up with atleast 24 AC against spells and missiles, with 20 ac plus whatever armor I have against melee attacks, and then pop out with either spells myself or repeating crossbow.
Oh and count as under 9/10th cover ( I think that is where the +10 ac comes from ), so may even hinder ranged attacks even more.
Breakdown of things:
kappa shield: Oriental Adventures 9/10 cover (+10 AC, +4 reflex save,improved evasion) 50% spell failure penalty, 50% movement speed reduction , -10 skill check
Sloth Domain: Spell Compendium No AC penalty while prone
Race: Undecided
Class: Cleric + whatever
Weapon of choice : repeating crossbow
Feats:
Shield Ward: PHBII Use shield AC against touch attacks and checks or rolls to resist bull rush, disarm, grapple, overrun, or trip attempts . Requires a wasted (semi only really not fully wasted ) Shield Specialization feat, which increases that ac by +1.
Rest of the feats are open, as is the thought of using spells to make yourself into a portable bunker, to mow down others with the crossbow, and protect against various long range damage types.
What is wanted any comments/advise/suggestions. This is an idea that came to my head in less then an hour ago.
