Here is another one I found I liked the concept of. Not as detailed a leveling guide, however, which I find a little painful. People such as myself don't have quite the amount of patience to go through one of these without explicit directions, but I am sure with a few revisions even this build could be made more user-friendly. I just hope none of my standard (read: evil) characters run into this guy any time soon...

True Champion of Torm Cleric 20/ COT 18/ Paladin 2 by evo_dragon
This character is about as buff as a melee character can get. Has lvl 9 cleric buffs, divine shield/might and 6 attacks/round. I find it the ultimate pvm character for me. In pvp against other melee character it holds it's own, with 46 fort saves(higher buffed) you can stand up to almost any dev crit. As with most cleric build this character will really hate to be dispelled, luckily the monster ai isn't smart enough to dispell you. This character is very powerful on a low magic server, but still scales well in a high magic one. If you hate late blooming characters or characters that make no sense role playing-wise then this char will be a nice switch. If your server has permahaste items, I'd pick a tickery or healing instead of travel.

(comments: the person who made this build even stated he likes scimitars better than longswords, so if Ziroc could kindly include a few new holy avenger scimitars, I may even try to reconstruct this build myself! as well, I would really and truly love to get this thread stickied, as then people could also post up their own success and not-so-successful builds to see how they could be improved and easily reference them without having to hope for bumps to this thread.)
