- High Strength (30)
- Overwhelming Critical
- High HP
- High saves

- 5d6 Sneak Attack
- Buffing and Inspirations
Cons

This a semi-roleplaying build that works in context with the the OC, while still being both powerful (thanks to Epic Divine Might and Overwhelming Critical) and skilled. A build which focuses on offense over defense, but can still talk its way out of a fight if nessisary.
Race can be anything with a Strength or Charisma bonus (Yuan-ti Pureblood, Drow, Aasimar, or Wood Elf). Any race with a penalty to Strength or Charisma won't work as well (if at all). The example below will use Wood Elf, both for variety and because they have no ECL penalty.
