• Palemaster: Must be evil.
Maximum of 10 levels can be taken.
Notes:
• AC doesn’t matter for this build - it’s all about stacking as much HP as possible.
• Saves are all adequate with the correct gear.
• You can choose elf as your race to improve your ability to spot. Skip blooded on level 1 if you want to do so, but you will
• Spell penetration feats are not a core part of the build. This is my personal preference to have a little more upside against SR monks.
Notes:
• Fantastic AC of 84, +1 against current attacker with dodge.
• Great saves.
• Maximum DC for evocation spells will usually allow you to find a weakness in other builds’ saves.
• You can cast Ice Storm and Chain Lightning to deal damage should you run into a build with good saves.
• Zen archery, with buffs, gives you 65 AB to ping low AC targets with. The downside is being unable to have two items in each hand for stat boosts so you have to careful when switching to a bow.
• You may choose to take one level of rogue for UMD. If you do, you will lose out on the epic spell focus feat and have to reorder them accordingly.

Skills:
Discipline 43, Intimidate 4, Spot 43, Tumble 40, UMD 20
36 skill points left over to allocate as you see fit. May wish to increase UMD for hellball staff, or choose heal to able to save yourself in a pinch.
Notes:
• 76 AB with +17 weapon, 79 AB with buffs.
• 81 AC standing, 82 with mage armor. Can go up to 92 AC with improved expertise.
• 708 HP – decent, but nothing to brag about.
• Saves: 46 fortitude, 40 reflex, 16 will. You need to use clarity potions to keep yourself from getting abused by DC mages.
• If there’s a mage around you can have enough spot to easily deal with sneaks. If there’s no mage, you will have to use a combination of scrolls and true sight robe to boost it.
• Damage is alright thanks to x4 multiplier on handaxe but nothing exceptional.
• Great mix of defense and offense that can stay alive through most situations with proper play/support.
• If you have a bard on your team, use Improved Knockdown like crazy. You will be able to make it land.
• Even if there is no bard, try your luck and use IKD. Might catch someone not boosting discipline off guard.

Skills:
Discipline 43, Intimidate 4, UMD 40, 15 Tumble
72 points to distribute as you choose. Heal is a good choice, or try to make listen work.
DO NOT add more into tumble. You want the lowest possible AC.
Notes:
• 76 AB with +17 weapon and gear. 79 with buffs.
• AC – the lower the better.Why? Because, you want to wear the Twisted Leather Armor that gives 2% Chaos Shield on hit.
• Your job is in the WZ is pretty simple. Smash face.
• 796 HP – solid by any measure you can take a good amount of punishment before having to run.
• Saves – well, these are dogshit. You will have enough for fortitude, but everything else is a joke. You will have to be very careful around DC casters.
• Just like with the dexterous weapon master don’t be afraid to use improved knockdown. If it catches someone, they’re likely going to be very dead.
Notes:
• This is a straight cheese build that counters low AC targets and mages.
• Any build with spot will ruin your day.
• Immune to most spells.
• Low AB, no AC whatsoever, and saves are garbage (you have enough fortitude to deal with devastating critical, however.)
BONUS
If you want to show iron balls of steel, change out Rogue for SD. You will have to rely on corner sneaking, but it will give you access to UMD which is pretty big.
If you choose to go this route, skip dodge and mobility on the first levels. Can try to go elf instead of human and get enough spot to deal with sneaks.
Notes:
• 26d6 sneak attack damage. 92.5% of the time your damage will range from 76-106 on a successful sneak attack, with the modal roll 90 damage 4.5% of the time.
• With the correct gear, you can reach maximum values for hide and move silent.
• Low AB (60 Ranged) and mediocre AC, but epic dodge and monk speed will allow you to dash in and out of battle.
• Fortitude and reflex saves are adequate, but a DC caster can exploit the low will save.
• Use traps judiciously in strategic areas of the fort (within WZ rules).
• Inspired by Calvin the Sneak’s old build.
