40 levels too much?

[DrakhanValane]

Checked out Ranger's spell list? They get some good protections, as well as full BAB, d10 hit die, and a bugged interpretation of class feats. It's a pretty good package, just fails to be as good as Weapon Munchkin like pretty much every other class ;)

Doesn't the Pale Munchkin come close? I mean with just 10 levels you nearly neutralise the Weapon Munchkin. Too bad it's nearly impossible to get both Munchkins in the same build.

for Jester: this is the feat list of fireless heart, my 20rgr/6WM/3mnk ; ok its not a complete character yet, but near, and as you will see i got a pretty nice list already:
-animal companion (disabled here)
-armor prof (light and medium)
-cleave
-deflect arrows
-dodge
-dual wield
-epic chara
-evasion
-expertise
-favor enemy: human,halfling,elf,giant,dwarf
-flurry of blows
-great cleave
-great strength II
-impr crit rapier
-impr two-weapon fighting
-impr unarmed strike
-increased multiplier
-ki damage
-mobility
-monk ac bonus
-monk speed
-power attack
-quick to master
-shield prof
-spring attack
-still mind
-stunning fist
-superiour weapon focus
-trackless step
-weapon focus rapier
-weapon of choice rapier
-weapon prof martial,simple,monk
-whirlwind attack

dual wield rapiers, 6attacks + 5damage (15 if critical)bonus on favor enemies

next feats will be overwhelming crit,bane o Enemies, epic weapon focus and blindfight

this was only the feats i talk about, rgr/mnk get 2 more skillpoints/lvl than fighters, they get nice spells (cats grace, free of movement, camouflage,one wt land, cure wounds...), same fort save but slightly better reflex and will save than fighter.[/img]

Personally I wouldn't have taken PowerAttack, Overwhelming Crit., Great Str II, or Great Cleave.
I'm sure there are better feats to take to make your build more well rounded. Feats that increase your saves, for example. You could have +6 to 2 of your saves and +4 to a third, those do make a big difference.

Also I hope you took 2 of the 3 monk in the first 20. I would have done 14rgr/4WM/4monk in the first 20.

Then there is the dual rapier situation. Picking between lower crit range dual-shortsword and higher crit range, but -2ab, dual rapiers is a tough one. Will have to do the statistics on that to be sure. But in general I take higher ab. AB has a bigger effect on high crit ranges.
The best crit range/dualwield option is kukri's. But taking slashing weapons in NS is just plain stupid, unless you like being handicapped for some extra challenge.

Great Cleave has to be the most useless feat, next to Dirty Fighting

I'm sorry, but i just don't understand why someone would waste a feat on something that only gives you an extra attack per kill... it's great if you are killing rats at lvl 20 but........

your build still doesnt beat a Slave

need great cleave for the overwhemling crit.

jester : went rgr till lvl 17, than 1 wm, than 2monk (as you stated just for the saves getting better), great strentgh II was needed to get the higher strength that is required :'( . dual attackbonus is +36 not enough yet but will be worked at
