Uber-Combat Builds

[Astraden]

Ok fellas, I have my own Uber fighter build and Im sure we all have at least one or two we've worked up over the years. Now I wanna hear yours! Tell me how your halfling/tiefling is the best fighter ever at whatever level because of the build youre useing. I wanna know people!

Focusing mostly on base races of course, but Im willing to hear out all your half ogre barbarian/frezied-bezerker uber-chargers as well!

Eh...mine is rather simple, but it does a good job.

1 Rogue, 1 Swashbuckler, 2 Rogue, 2 Swashbuckler, put the rest in Rogue. Thus far it's set up for a level 10 character.

Feats: (Non-human) Combat Expertise, Weapon FinesseB, Improved Feint, Improved Disarm, Daring Outlaw(Complete Scoundrel, levels stack for Sneak Attack, Dodge bonus and Grace), Two-weapon fighting.

With the enhancements to armor/etc., an equal level fighter with, say, 20 strength and a +3 weapon has to roll an 18 or higher to hit. The character can then turn around, canceling out Combat Expertise/Defensive fighting and feint, followed by an average of 50 damage/round. And a non-light considered weapon that Weapon Finesse can be applied to is being used, so there isn't a penalty to disarm.

I'm new to dnd, so I have just been playing around with combo's not having looked up a million and one optimisations.
I was wanting to play a shifter (for character fun) so I came up with this:
Race Shifter Wolverine
Ranger 6, Waretouched Master 1, Warshaper 1, WTM 2, WS 2, WTM 3, 4, 5
Stacked Str and Con
Feats: Weapon Focus Axe, WF Dagger, Improved Natural Attack(shifter feat), Distracting Attack(no pet), Multiattack, Bear Fang by level 9
Great Bite, Raptor School by level 12

Free Feats/abilities by level 13 (a level 13 build): Endurance, Favoured enemy x2, Two weapon style + Improved, Track, Low light, Wild Empathy, Hybrid Form (wolverine), Rage (wolverine), Critical and Stun Immunity, Frightful shifting

+4str +2con shifting
+4str +4con perma WS
+4str +8con +4dex Hform (stacking with shifting)
then I buy some enlarge person wands
and wolverine rage activates when I am hit for
+4str +4con and doesn't tire me out afterward (as opposed to normal rage)
throw on gauntlets of ogre strength if you have the money

That gives me 2 battleaxe and 2 dagger attacks, a free grapple with HUGE grapple bonuses, and a natural bite attack that is enlarged to 4d6 damage,
D6base
D8improved
2D6wolverine
3d6warshaper
4d6enlarged
5d6flaming (shrug)

Some fun variety/tactics moves that go well with a high hide/Msilently from raptor school (for roleplay).

buy an necklace of (flaming) natural attacks (teeth) (savage species)
and you got one roleplay-friendly scary mofo werewolf with flaming mouth.

The BAB isn't bad, I havent lagged behind yet in a power game, and I can play through as a 'thirst for the hunt' kind of guy. Neutral Good of course. :P

The only problem I find is low AC for when I am forced to tank, but the High con bonuses keep me alive.

If anyone wants to help me out on this build, I'm only level 7 at the moment, and it would be interesting to hear people's munchkin stuff.

Pretty basic idea, I was going with, Strength on Strength stacks (because I'm a newb).

One of my favorite for flavor is: Bobo the Hobo

Material Raging Monk 2/City Brawler Barbarian 3/Fist of the Forest 3/ Warblade 4/Drunken Master 4/Blood Claw Master 4

Pick up some raging feats and the other TWF. Monks Belt Monks Tattoo Superior Unarmed Strike Fanged Ring and Necklace of Natural Attack

If you are starting at level 19 you can be a Vampire Werewolf Half-dragon Troll. Pretty brutal stuff.
