So some of my friends and I were shooting the breeze and came up with a fun silly little optimization challenge, which I thought some of the fine folk on these message boards might also find entertaining.

The basic premise is as follows:

You are a 1st level character that has spent ALL your starting gold to buy rats, at 1 copper a piece.
You and they are then placed on an infinite flat featureless plane where you will do battle. You win if you kill all the rats, they win if you die before doing so.

Rules:
20 bp, average starting wealth (which remember is all used to buy Rats) and 2 traits.

You are not allowed to have both a source of permanent flight and any way of doing damage at range, as this takes all the fun out of the challenge.

Currently our most successful build is an Aasimar Synthesist Summoner, since those can gain DR 1/evil from their favored class bonus, and thus be imune to the 1 nonlethal damage a rat does when it hits.

Can you fair community come up with any other builds which can complete this Ratslayer Challenge?

Hard Mode: spend a trait on Rich Parents for a total of 90000 rats.

So, I am about to start GMing a kingmaker campaign using the "new and improved" kingdom rules from Ultimate Campaign, and would like some advice.
When I saw the Fame/Infamy Rules, which got me thinking: While it might be pretty fun to use these rules as a kind of measure of the prestige of the players nation, this would be even more fun if they could compare their scores with other kingdoms.
After all having a good reputation is good, having a better one than your neighbors is much better.

However I am unsure how much fame/infamy I should give said neighbors so that they can serve as milestones to meaningfully surpass/fail to surpass depending on actions throughout the campaign.
Therefore I now ask you the forums if anyone happens to have done something similar? and if so which scores did you use?
