The purpose of this thread is fairly simple, its a challenge from me to the ones frequenting the forums here. The challenge is simple and not very rulesy, but rather its about making fun glass cannon builds.

A glass cannon in this case is a character whose offensive ability vastly outstrips his defensive one, this is thus an exercise in proportions. Feel free to post TO builds or something more PO grade, so long as the builds work.

Extra joy to be had if they are funny.

Hah didn't even know you could get negative AC until today, genius!

"The crazy cat lady"
Druid 1/ sorc 1/ wiz 1/ totemist 2/ beastmaster 10

Pertinent feats: Wild Cohort, Share Soulmeld. Expanded soulmeld capacity helps too.

The Sorc and Wiz will both take the animal companion alternate class feature instead of familiars. All said she will have 8 cats. She will then bind manticore belt to her totem chakra. At max that will be 7 essentia. You can sling a spike that deals 1d6 damage for each essentia invested. With her and each cat sharing her soulmeld that's 63 spines each dealing a d6.

You did ask for silly right?

Make a Half-Minotaur Half-Ogre Goliath Barbarian/Frenzied Berserker/Shiba Protector; pump all points and increases into Str and Wis, while dumping Dex/Con. Use the Goliath Barbarian Racial ACF "Mountain Rage" and take the Reckless Rage feat. Build the rest of your build around standard ubercharger stuff, particularly Shock Trooper. If you optimize everything properly, you'll have an ubercharger who flies a couple hundred feet and full attacks somebody for 5 digits of DPR, but who has an AC of like -20 or something, and has 20 HP.
