Background- we are only allowed players handbooks one and two. No expanded anything and no book three.
I am only in this campaign because my partner is there.
So I've come across a bit of a problem.
We have a cheaty unfair killer DM. By that I mean he allows some people do or take things expressly prohibited to the group, he uses house rules on a number of things, when I asked for clarification on said house rules I was promptly executed, as in full hp after a long rest all powers available, and I was killed outright. Past the point of a death save, not that I even got to take am action of any kind for that to matter but still. Oh and that was at lv one. And as soon as they killed me and should have ripped the rest of the party to shreds they lost all tactical sense, started moving to provoke opportunity attacks, no longer attacked the same target, attacked things other that what had marked them..... etc garbage.
He sets the dc of searches and knowledge checks at whoever rolled the second highest ie a 4 as the highest roll give the same knowledge as a 30. Yes both have happened and pulling a 30 at lv one should give a lot of information on the common monster (he never gives weakness/resistance or anything beyond keywords).
He also likes really hi reflex. The lowest reflex dc monster we have had was a 16. It was a suit of armor with a movement speed of two.... pretty slow I would think....
Anyway actual Question- what is the most broken low level (currently were lv 1 doubt this will go beyond five) thing I can build from only ph1&2?
I don't like asking for a breaker but if the DM thinks it's appropriate to Insta kill me for asking for clarification on his house rules, thinks it's fine to toss a couple level 13 monsters at a party of level ones to do it and then have them basically attack trees after killing me so they don't kill the party I have no remorse.
