Hummm ... thank you for the reply. Ahhhh I could imagine my fighter with a large scythe ... He would be like the Death from Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen http://goo.gl/e8uF8I ... but the dream was gone. hahahaha

Because of his Celestial Obedience feat and worship of Valani, the barbarian can polymorph into a gargantuan earth elemental for 1 hour each day.

As long as the colossal nodachi was not on his person before he polymorphed, it does not meld into his form. So he removes it from his bag of holding, leaves it on the ground, polymorphs, and then picks it up.

But if you are gargantuam how is it possible wield a colossal two-handed weapon? I mean, I always though that is just possible wield a one-handed weapon 1 size bigger than me like it was a two-handed weapon with -2 on attack. In other hand it's not possible for a medium creature wield a large greatsword because it's one step bigger than two-handed for that medium creature. In other case, a large katana its possible, because is a one-handed weapon for a large creature and two-handed weapon for medium creature. Well, correct me if I'm wrong because if I am, my fighter with scythe will wield a large scythe and be fancy as hell. ^^

Put the weapon bonus on unarmed strike, with Crane Style, fighting defensively, barkskin, piranha strike and Haste this monk has a flurry:

+33 / +33 / +33 / +28 / +28 / +23 / +23 / +18 2d10+31

Flurry breakdown:

Attack: (18base +13dex +5weapon allying +1focus -1 fighting defensively +1morale +1competence -6 piranha strike +1 haste)
Damage: (13dex +5weapon +1trait +12 piranha strike)

HP 263 (8 +5x19 +6(cons)x20 +20toughness +20lvl)

AC = 60

AC breakdown:

10 +8bracers +13dex +8wis +5deflection +5natural +5monk +1dodge +1 luck (jingasa) +1dodge crane style +2 fighting defensively +1 insight)

CMB +41
CMD +66

Breakdown:

CMB (20lvl + 13dex +5weapon +1focus +1 morale +1competence)
CMD (10 +20HD -1str +13dex +8wis +5monk +5deflection +1dodge +1luck +1dodge crane +2fighting def +1 insight)

Fort 27
Refl 32
Vont 27

He cannot be flanked and against one foe he has +2 on AC and saves. He can also forgo his extra ki attack to gain +4 on AC, totaling +66. He can deflect one hit and make one AoO. He can negate 1 critical hit.

Think about how much bonus on disarm he has with True Strike, nunchaku and improved disarm.

Again, a Fighter can do more damage but I like this build. If someone could improve I would be thankful.

See a Balor Lord (CR25) and make your conclusions.
