Building a Party to Face Khala

Dark Archive

In the spirit of Pygon's Khala playtest thread, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone could come up with as a party to fight Khala. The goal is to create the character with as few books needed as possible. The characters should be 14th level, have 150,000 gp of gear (as outlined in the DMG) and be created using a 28 pt buy for a challenging campaign. The wealth limit on cost of items available for Sasserine is 40,000 gp, thus no single item can cost more than this. I am going to assume the players can get to Sasserine to sell items and make purchases since it is the only city of any size available to the PC's at this point in the adventure. You can use any resource you want, but list which books you used. The goal is to make a party that is very competitive in battling Khala with as few extra books beyond the PHB, DMG, and MM as possible. For HP, assume average roles for each dice. Using items that are found by the PC's during the adventure is encouraged but not strictly necessary. Lets see what we can come up with....

I had a fighter built that I had typed everything in for, but the boards ate the post, so I will redo it and post again in this thread.

I didn't bother with skill ranks, but that would be the last piece needed to use this character in the simulation.

Liberty's Edge

I'll be interested to see what people can come up with!

I might even be tempted to put them through their paces (assuming I know enough about how all the feats work).

Bump

I am going to be adding another PC to this over the weekend and I want to push thread up towards the top to make it easier to find.
