"My Brothers in Destruction are mislead. I am a seer of the Rough Beast, and through his wrath I have foreseen the world's ending - and the method of its destruction. Though all carnage glorifies the World Breaker, to uncage Rovagug before the appointed hour is to undo his glorious purpose. In the language of wrath have I seen this truth, and I know that the sundering of the Great Cage, this puny rock upon which crawls life, must come only when it is foretold, and no sooner."

"To that end, I walk the path of stone. As the living monoliths of my birthplace once stood guard over the meaningless pharaohs of old, so shall I become eternal until the day my lord returns. An undying statue, I shall stand guard at the Pit of Gormuz until the ending of the world."

"But to achieve this power, I require ancient knowledge. The Scarab Sages, and the empire of Osirion before them, possess these secrets. In time, I will learn them, and take this power unto myself until the day comes when all things die and I will earn a name."

My rather unconventional Rovagug-worshipper. Who can say whether insanity or prophecy grips him? Either way, he believes wholeheartedly that he has seen the future, and that to call Rovagug forth before the appointed day would prevent the world's utter destruction. He aspires to become a Living Monolith, so that he can spend eternity protecting the Pit of Gormuz from any who would use it to re-awaken his terrible lord.

Yeah. The Brawling enchant is one of the most fantastic options out there.

The reason to use a shield is twofold - the insanely good Shield Master feat, and Shield Slam. If you get Shield Slam, you get a free bull rush attempt on every hit, and with feats like Merciless Rush, Squash Flat, and Spiked Destroyer, you get to do all kinds of nasty things when you bull rush somebody.
