--------------------
Lucky was born under a bad sign, or so he was told. He spent his life believing that bad things happened to him because of this. One day, a stranger told him that he could control that luck and turn it to his favor. He spent many months working on that until it finally happened.
Now, instead of relying on armor and skill, he relies mostly on chance. Sure, he still needs proficiency with weapons but he isn't worried about missing or getting hit. His lucky cloak and innate ability to turn bad luck into good allows him to survive more than many others.
Because he relies on luck, he often only gets one melee attack each round but when he needs to, he can make that one attack really count. With ranged attacks, he is a bit luckier so he prefers to open with a volley of arrows until he needs to close.
That being said, when his luck runs out, he is in grave danger. He relies too much on his luck sometimes and he has taken a beating for that.
He does need to have a healer around for those times when his luck runs out but that's what a party is for!
I only know of Bane from the movie and one animated episode. I think you did a pretty good job writing him up. The only other way I think you could have done it would have been to go with more levels of barbarian instead of alchemist and look toward the alcohol rage powers.
Does the martial artist bring anything necessary to the build or could you have just taken improved unarmed strike for the same effect?
Also, did you get the files I sent?
Originally, he was a Alch 1/Barb 5. But I wanted him to have at least 1 discovery.
The Monk level wasn't strictly necessary, actually, but it gave a few great things for the build: 2 extra feats (including IUS), higher unarmed damage and a great boost to saves (and Ragechemists can use any help they get with saves!)
Besides, Bane is known to be a great martial artist (which reminds me, I just picked this archetype because it's the only one that allows monks to ne non-lawful, which was necessary in order to have Barbarian levels. And NE seemed to me like the most appropriate allignment for Bane, although any Evil could do too, depending on writer.)
I didn't even think about the saves and that is a huge boon for Bane (I like the way that sounds...boon for bane).
I sure hope Lucky is really lucky, because with that feat selection, he'll need it. (Especially considering that many rerolls will likely make the GM throw a book at you out of anger/frustration!)
It still pains me to see Endurance and Diehard in a character sheet (unless she got it for free). And Improved Iron Will/Lightning Reflexes are, by RAW, completely useless.
You have to reroll before knowing the result and must always take the 2nd roll, even if its worse. So that means that all this feat does is make you roll 2 dice, but effectivelly roll only one.
I suppose this could be useful if you roll a Nat 1, but it's hardly worth a feat.
That said, he does have Power Attack, Deadly Aim and Furious Focus, which makes him a viable (although limited) character.
I understand that you were going for a reroll build, but you could probably save lots of Blind-fight feats by getting Racial Heritage (Catfolk) and Catfolk Exemplar (Scent), and that even lets you take another reroll feat: Black Cat (Kinda funny, though, does your body get covered in black fur? Does it only affect you body hair?)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I didn't even think about the saves and that is a huge boon for Bane (I like the way that sounds...boon for bane).
Hahaha... There should be an Inquisitor feat or spell named "Boon For Bane"... Just so this sentence becomes part of the official rules!
It still pains me to see Endurance and Diehard in a character sheet (unless she got it for free).
yep
Tough as Nails
An unbreakable gains Endurance and Diehard as bonus feats.
This ability replaces the fighter’s 1st-level bonus feat.
And I still think it's a bad trade... -.-'
@Bob
Sarching i the srd i find deadly acuaracy as a rage power not as a feat.
Sorry, sometimes I use 3pp stuff. That's a feat from [/i]Feats of Battle[/i] from Super Genius Games.

I took Racial Heritage (elf) for the Elven Accuracy but I had thought a bit about the Catfolk. I should have gone for Catfolk since Deadly Accuracy pretty much does what Elven Accuracy does for the build.
I think that if I took Black Cat, I would look like Robin Williams.
I had debated how much I wanted the Improved saving throw feats. With the +2 I get whenever I reroll plus the evasion and stalwart, I thought they may be worth it. I had considered not boosting his saves but only getting one reroll a day didn't seem like a good idea.
Did you notice that he doesn't wear armor? I just realized that I should have given him ranks in Profession (gambler)!
So here's a build that uses Death or Glory.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Cautious Fighter +2 AC when fighting defensively or using total defense.
Cloak of displacement, major Attacks on you have 50% miss chance.
Combat Expertise +/-6 Bonus to AC in exchange for an equal penalty to attack.
Damage Reduction (13/-) You have Damage Reduction against all attacks.
Damage Reduction (26/lethal) You have Damage Reduction against non-lethal damage
Damage Resistance, Fire (5) You have the specified Damage Resistance against Fire attacks.
Deadly Accuracy (Ex) Double surprise accuracy bonus to confirm criticals.
Death or Glory (+7) Gain +4 on attack, damage, and critical rolls vs. Large or larger opponents
Extreme Endurance (Fire) (Ex) At 3rd level, the invulnerable rager is inured to either hot or cold climate effects (choose one) as if using endure elements. In addition, the barbarian gains 1 point of fire or cold resistance for every three levels beyond 3rd. This ability replace
Fast Movement +10 (Ex) +10 feet to speed, unless heavily loaded.
Fearless +2 racial bonus vs Fear saves.
Fortification (heavy) 75% chance to ignore critical hit/sneak attack.
Guarded Life (40 HP) (Ex) If reduced below 0HP, convert some damage to non-lethal. Auto-stabilize below 0HP.
Guarded Stance +4 (10 rds) (Ex) Gain a +4 dodge bonus to AC vs. melee attacks while raging.
Increase Damage Reduction (Ex) While raging, your DR increases by 1.
Increase Damage Reduction (Ex) While raging, your DR increases by 1.
Increase Damage Reduction (Ex) While raging, your DR increases by 1.
Indomitable Will (Ex) While in rage, a barbarian of 14th level or higher gains a +4 bonus on Will saves to resist enchantment spells. This bonus stacks with all other modifiers, including the morale bonus on Will saves she also receives during her rage.
Power Attack -6/+12 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage.
Powerful Blow +6 (1/rage) (Ex) One attack per rage deals +6 damage.
Rage (44 rounds/day) (Ex) +8 Str, +8 Con, +4 to Will saves, -2 to AC when enraged.
Raging Vitality +2 CON while raging, Rage does not end if you become unconscious.
Risky Strike -1/+12 Subtract from your AC to add to damage vs foes 2 sizes larger.
Sharpened Accuracy (Ex) When using her surprise accuracy rage power, the barbarian ignores the miss chance for concealment and treats total concealment as concealment. She also ignores cover penalties except those from total cover. A barbarian must have the surprise accurac
Surprise Accuracy +12 (1/rage) (Ex) One attack per rage gains +12 to hit.
Underfoot +1 AC vs. larger opponents and +1 save vs. trample
Vital Strike Standard action: x2 weapon damage dice.
Here's some things to keep in mind, he is always fighting defensively, using combat expertise, risky striker, and power attack. He can use Death or Glory along with Greater Vital Strike, Powerful Blow, Surprise Accuracy, and Guarded Stance for +45 to hit (+52 on critical confirmation) 4d4+74+2d6 bringing his AC to 52 (53 against Small or larger opponents). With a Miss Chance of 50% (and he can ignore the miss chance) and DR 13/- (26/Lethal, and Guarded Life of 40 hit points).
That's a final attack that should do the trick. It's an average of 91 on a non-critical hit and 167 on a critical hit. It's definitely not something he can use all the time. In fact, that's a one time attack. However, he can use Death or Glory on every attack without much to worry about with all his defenses. It's not a big deal giving his opponent +7 to hit him. He would have an effective AC of 41, 50% miss chance, DR 13/-, and Guarded Life (40). With 347 hit points, he's not overly worried. He is a one trick pony though and he would get boring fast I would think.
Zero is an interesting build, and really, there is not much to say about his fighting prowess beyond what you already covered. It trully shines in physical combat, but he can do little more than that.
He does have some nice skills, though, +22 Diplomacy, +25 Intimidate and +37 Stealth... So he can have some fun out of combat, even if he'll not be the best at that.
Actually, now that I think about it, this is quite a bizarre case, as this Barbarian seems to be more fun when he's not fighting, since most (if not all) his feats and resources are focused on extra damage/high AC.
What I like about rage powers like Spell Sunder (besides the fact that it's very powerful!) is that it gives the Character something different to do. That's also the reason why I love Cornugon Smash and Dazzling Strike.
And why does he only have 1 trait? He could boost his saves or get a cool skill as class skill. Even slightly increase his damage output (not that it's necessary).
BTW, I'm not in my house right now, so I can't use HL, which means I won't be able to post more Batman-villain builds for a while. Hopefully, I'll be beack home before the weekend.
He only has one trait because I forgot to give him a second one. I don't usually give both traits at the same time.
I'm headed out so I'll post more later.
I was headed out for a walk with a friend who showed up early so I cut my post short. Anyway, Zero is the guy who walks through lava to get to the other side. He doesn't care about falling. He doesn't worry about swarms of kobolds. He just goes wading in to get the job done. I really do think he'd be fun to play once in a while but not long term. Some people would really enjoy him I'm sure.
It got me thinking, I wonder what I can do with a barbarian build for defenses.
It's pretty awesome. It really doesn't have a downside.
I'm trying to build a mystic theurge but I can't really get the build going where I want at anything other than level 11 or higher. I'm trying to see if I can make it an effective blaster. I'm sure I can. I just need to see what tricks I can find.

Best build I ever had was back in 3.5. It was an epic game and these were the classes.
He was a human Warmage 5/Wizard 5/Ultimate Magus 15/Cleric 5/Mystic Theurge 10. He had 40 levels total and kicked ass all day long.

I can see that. I'm trying to go for a little lower level. I was thinking of an elementalist wizard and cleric.

His BAB was horrible BTW.
What about going Sorcerer/Oracle/Mystic Thuerge? You could take the Elemental Bloodline for Sorcerer and the Stone or Nature Mystery for Oracle.
Sure it will take a little longer but it would be cool.
The problem with the spontaneous casters is that they lose out on the use of Combined Spells since that is only for prepared spells. I don't want to weaken it any more than it already will be.
Hmmm I just thought about a Magus/Cleric/Mystic Thuerge.
You should post it.
Yay, got back to my own PC. I think I'll finish posting villain builds soon. IIRC, I already had Harley Quinn, Two-Face and Joker done. I'll try and find a way to build Mr.Freeze, Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul, then post them in rapid succession.
I'm having lots of fun creating these guys. BTW, Bob, thanks for the character profiles you sent me, they were very useful.
I'm glad they helped. I figured that since they use the d20 system they may be of some use. If not, at least they can see some use in a MnM game if you run one.
Nicos, I didn't see your builds until today. What were your goals with them? Do you think you met those goals? It's hard to provide feedback or comment when I don't know what the intention was.
Shallowsoul, I look forward to it and you gave me an idea for a build. I'm still toying with it a bit but I like this concept. I was trying to build a wizard/gunslinger when I realized that it might be fun to use these archetypes and see what I could do. The biggest problem is that it takes too long to get going and probably wouldn't live to see level 10. However, if it does, I think (I'm not sure) that eldrich knight could be a fun prestige class to work into.

You know... I completely forgot about this thread...
I didn't even finish posting the batman villain builds... -.-'
And I even made Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Joker and Mr.Freeze... haha...
But anyway, this time I come not with a build, but with a request: A creative Cleric build.
Clerics are a class that I enjoy playing, but they seem rather boring to build.
I need a build mostly focused on combat, it must have no multi-classing (Prestige Classes are okay as long as they retain full casting progression). It must be non-evil.
I was trying to build a Cleric for a friend of mine, but I couldn't think about anything interesting... only the usual sword-and-board cleric (or in his case, mace-and-board).
So any chance you guys can help me to make an awesome Cleric build?
We are currently at 4th level in this campaign, but if possible, I'd like to see a 7th~9th level build, as that's what I consider the most a character can take to "complete" its build.
Feat progression up to these levels would be nice. My friend says he has no preference about race, although I think he's not a fan of elves.
We're using 25 point buy.

Alignment preference?
Hobgoblin battlish Cleric of Urgathoa
So Yon Cleric of battle here is just the essentials with a bit of necessary gear.
The build itself is pretty much done at 3rd but I dragged him out to show how he continues improving over time.
Ideally you will be running around with Greater Magic Weapon cast on your scythe (+2 enhancement there) and running about with Divine Power going (an extend rod is helpful, +3 Luck bonus)
This guy does not rely on full attacks as most combat builds do but rather on hitting very hard and dropping a handful of debuffs at once.
This first attack would look something like:
Attack: +5 Wisdom + 2 Enhancement + 3 Luck + 6 BAB = +16 Attack
Damage: +3 Strength + 2 Enhancement + 3 Luck + 6 Power Attack +4 Ferocious Strike + (5d6/2 + 4?) Channeled Smite (DC18 Will for half) + 3d8+13 Stored Inflict (DC18 for half) = AVG 52 Plus Sickened assuming failed saves.
Not terrible. You can actually do more interesting things by dropping a bestow curse or ghouls touch into your scythe.
Funnily enough with Death's Kiss you make a pretty good healer as well. :)
At 10th your channeling takes a nasty turn as you can drop a Contagion spell on a failed save.
This build was inspired by some of the Magus debates I have been reading regarding having Int over Str and vice versa.
If alignment and being a hobgoblin is an issue you can go for a slightly more battlefield controllish build. The numbers come out to about the same as the hobgoblin the exception here is rather than relying on spellstoring right away (definitely an option later) you use the gentle repose power and channel force to bash people around and absolutely murder their action economy making them easy fodder for your party's full bab classes. This combos works beautifully with casters who make use of slow allowing you to put people to sleep with a nasty swipe from your katana.
Unfortunately while you are much more effective in combat you aren't quite the healer (ironic) that the hobgoblin is.
Thanks for the builds, Tark.
Both builds seem quite effective and, but they are not exaxtly what they I'm looking for.
I don't think my friend is willing to dump Int. He likes skill points and Clerics have too few of them as it is. They are also pretty straight foward, I'm trying to come up with a build that seems unique (at least for a non-veteran player).
Thanks anyway. I might actually use the Hobgoblin as an inspiration for one of my next characters!

I’m not too happy with my skill totals but the important skills will hit the DC’s. I’m also not too sure about Skill Focus and Cosmopolitan. I took those two for UMD in which relies on being able to find items to use because I didn’t have enough gold left to buy a wand or two.
This is a specialty build that focuses on a special type of creature but overall I do like it. I may tweak it a bit more before I’m satisfied.
Edit: Made some changes.

This is my infiltrator build. I call him "The Shadowman". I may change a few things like spell list and feats. I'm not too sure about Arcane Blast but the reason I took it was to give him a little offense if needed because most of his spells aren't direct damage. I'll come back when I think of some more changes.
