Fighter(12) + Bard(1) + RDD(10) + WM(7)

RDD gives a huge bonus to strength, and a whole lot of other perks. This

build combines a large strength bonus and two handed weapon (falchion) with

either Improved Power Attack or Epic Weapon Specialization to ensure it always

deals a lot of damage, even against the critical-immune. When it does get a

critical hit (and it does often), it deals triple damage, including the huge

1.5x strength bonus, power attack, weapon specialization and other damage

bonuses. This build also adds epic damage reduction 9/-, a huge constitution

score, and a Dexterity of 16 (+3 dex bonus to AC fits perfectly with mithril

full plate armor, which is easily crafted and enhanced to your liking).

You're not just a king of damage, but a king of defense as well.

Note that because of RDD, the ability scores grow extremely fast between

levels 1 and 20. This is worth putting off the WM levels for. Then once you

get the final WM level, you'll start getting critical hits like crazy and

they'll hit hard.

Ability Lv1 Lv20* Lv30

Str 15 24 26

Dex 15 16 16

Con 16 21 22

Int 14 16 16

Wis 8 8 8

Cha 8 10 10

How this is done:

Start with the stats in the Lv1 column. From levels 1 to 20, put 1 point in

strength, 1 point in dexterity, and 3 points in constitution (in any order you
like). The RDD levels will take care of the rest. After level 20, put a

point in constitution to round it off. You can then put a point in strength

and take great strength, or do the same with constitution.

Human Example 2:

In example 2 the reason I take 5 levels of WM before level 21 and then take

the last two at the end is so that all my last fighter levels happen before

level 29 so I can get Epic Weapon Specialization. Unfortunately this little

timing trick had to happen because I would miss a feat at the end otherwise.

If you don't care about the extra 2 damage from epic w.specialization then you

can finish WM by level 22 as with example 1, which is extremely beneficial.
