Morrack?
Morrack will charge the hound on the corner of the road. (#8)
Via Fleet Warrior, he full attacks with his axe.
Swift: apply undead bane for the round.
Full-round: charge & full attack.
attack#1 possible crit! damage
attack confirmation roll! damage
attack#2 damage
Morack hits the dog once, his axe severing its head. The now-dead corpse drops to the road, dead, even as its velocity carries ten feet further forward.
The charging Cauchemar barrels down on Morrack, breathing thick smoke.
The rider's whirling fire flail spinning towards him
Morrack has vanished into the smoke!
On Seamus' command, Mitsy bounds forward, past the horses, and in front of Jennix. She stands her ground, swinging her large hammer and sword in anticipation of the oncoming hounds.
"Let's make you a little harder to get around, Mitsy."
Seamus quickly sheathes one wand and draws another, touching Mitsy with the second wand and muttering to himself.
Mitsy suddenly grows in size, blocking the path in front of Jennix. Her already large weapons grow with her.
At 78/114 hp.

As the Hounds charge into position, Reknarok countercharges.
The wave of Hounds breaks up into three scrabbling knots, one on Morrack, one on Reknarok, and one cutting off retreat.
Mitsy swings down powerfully as one of the hounds passes by her left side.
With a primal scream, Reknarok swings his massive, tribal rune covered Hammer, at the first hound coming into reach.

Morrack will attack from prone:
attack Damage
Move action: dimensional hop back towards Reknarok (J-38).
I will take my mythic turn as well. (11/12 remaining)
Good, Morrack is away from that massive beast. More fire, I think.
Seamus switches wands once more and points it toward the gigantic horse and its rider.
A small ball of fire erupts from the tip of the wand and flies toward the headless horseman.
Don't believe so.
Attacking a hound that bit me (adjacent one I guess).
Concentration check if necessary:
Jennix reaches into the of his myriad pouches and removes a jar of Liquid Ice and begins chanting.
H1: evasion. Takes 57.
H2: evasion. Takes 0.
One hound leaps aside, but the other freezes solid, then shatters.
A Hound staggers back from morrack's blow, then surges forward, his jaws closing on air! Reknarok raises his hammer as he sees Morrack land beside him.

Stand fast Morrack! Lets give these puppies a run back to their mommy, so we can take care of the real threat over there! - Reknarok comments to Morrack as he shows up next to him.

Morrack becomes a spinning whirlwind of destruction as he tries to stand up. four seconds later three hounds are dead.

Reknarok scores a mighty hit, but the Hound comes on, barely missing him.
DR 5/epic isn't that great now, but next tier you can get 10/epic, and eventually 15/epic. It also means you can deal damage to critters with DR/epic with your natural weapons (when you get some).
What did you want to change it to?
Yep. 23 points of damage.
Can you humor me and just tell me what the DR powers you're using to get 11 are?
Basically I am using the DR from the Invulnerable Rager = 5/-
+
Improved Stalwart, which doubles the effects of
Stalwart
You adopt a defensive stance that allows you to absorb and redirect hits.
Prerequisite: Diehard, Endurance, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: While using the total defense action, fighting defensively action, or Combat Expertise, you can forgo the dodge bonus to AC you would normally gain to instead gain an equivalent amount of DR, to a maximum of DR 5/—, until the start of your next turn. This damage reduction stacks with DR you gain from class features, such as the barbarian's, but not with DR from any other source. If you are denied your Dexterity bonus to AC, you are also denied this DR.
So, in the end, I have DR5 from Invulnerable ranger + DR3 from combat Expertise, which is doubled (to DR6) because of improved Stalwart - Total: DR11
And actually I think I may be doing the math wrong, because having the mythic Combat expertise adds +2 to the AC, and it should probably add +4 to the DR. Seems to be adequate for a lvl11 character with 5 Mythic Levels imo.
I believe the corrected DR should actually be 15 - hey, this is great - after all we are playtesting right? ;)
Yep - I think you might have found some interesting questions about DR.
Reading improved stalwart, it sounds like it would stack with DR Epic as well.
Pointless now, but if you had DR epic 10, and used absorb blow to get +5, and used improved stalwart to get +10, you might be able to get epic DR 25.
Can you use a defensive stance while raging?
I don't think there is anything contrary to using combat expertise while raging, which is the case. At least I have not found anything written down that would prevent it...
The thing is, if it does not stack, I will not take any epic DR, because the potential from Improved Stalwart seems to be much bigger.
The rises in the DR obtained from Stalwart are however in stages, dependent from increments of 4BAB. For example, at level 12 Bbn, I will be able to take out another point from to hit, to add 2 more to DR, coming to a total of 6 (half bbn level)+ 8 from improved Stalwart = 14, and that's it.
It increments 1 every 2 bbn levels, and 2 every 4 BAB, the jump is most noticeable in the level multiples of 4.
So...
12: 6+8 = 14
14: 7+8 = 15
16: 8+10 = 18
And lets not forget that this DR is against EVERYTHING, not even bypassed by Epic Weapons ;)
Bottom line - To be honest, I have not crunched the math in comparing mythic only DR with Stalwart only DR... I may get around to it if I have the time.
What is your input in all this?
