Help on new character idea

[ScottG]

Though it could be a rollplaying thing for you, seriously consider Druid over Cleric.

The alternative simply "flips" your priority, i.e. you won't be getting devistating critical until almost the end of the character's "build", but you will get magic casting early-on.

Keep the same beg. stats and "up" wis. untill you achieve 19 at character level 20. Then continue on with str.. You'll need to achieve 25 in str. by level 39 w/out expending a feat at that level for str.. You'll have 5 points to spend on attributes naturally between level 20-40 - Try to use 4 of these points for your str. increase (i.e. your natural attribute increase at level 36 will be your 4th and final natural point before you'll select devistating critical). So 18 + 4 = 22.. meaning you'll still need 3 additional points of str. chosen by using-up your epic feats before level 39 (when you'll choose Devistating Critical). Fortunetly COT's receive bonus feats so you should have plenty of feats to spend them on (and remember that you'll also need to spend one of them on overwhelming critical as well).

edit: there are no feats of value that require 13 int. for this character, the "whirlwinds" do, but they are not required feat(s) for any of these classes and the "cleaves" are FAR superior. (i.e. spending the extra points on int. seems a waste for a near worthless whirlwind feat - and a feat you can have enchanted into a magical item).

16 and 16 (str. and wis.) does seem better under this build (i.e. there is no rush to get devistating critical here).
