the math don't add up...
 

was trying to build this really awesome looking build in Ziroc's "Escape From Undermountain" only to uncover a snag when I was going through it... I seem to have LOST a point of Constitution somewhere. could someone tell me if I just hit the buttons wrong or if there is an actual flaw in this design?

I was doing fine up until the 20th level, and then it seems I messed up somewhere. could someone else check this character out and explain to me where I must have gone wrong? right now, I am forgoing the Epic Damage Reduction as I don't have the Constitution for it. It's a very sad state of affairs - especially with the great tale the person wrote up behind the character...

(though you need to actually have a Bioware account in order to read it. hey, they are free! why do you think I got one?)

Re: the math don't add up...
 

At Level 12 you took a Attribute boost to Con 15
Level 16 boost it again via attribute.

At level 20 your Con should be 17.

From what I can tell you missed a ATT Bonus or missed your first great Con feat.

Re: the math don't add up...
 

Moz, can you do a screen dump of your character as she stands at the moment, showing all current attributes and feats taken, that will help to show where it has gone wrong.

Re: the math don't add up...
 

Actually you were both right. I ended up taking a point of Dexterity before I took the point of Constitution. At level 36 or 37, I managed to correct the error. My character at level 39 now matches line for line the way that character has been posted. Thank you both for your great assistance. When the character is finished, I'll also need advice on items to acquire for her. I do believe I will try to create the half-elf version of the character next, but with some alterations. I'll go with the pure dexterity aspect, skipping the epic damage reduction and trying to add a hand-held weapon to their capabilities. It should be interesting, and I'll post up the variation on Grizzled_dwarflord's thematic.
