    [​IMG] One of my favorite things about the game is maxing out my PC, getting him as powerful as possible, using a couple mods and NO CHEATING, have Spawned many powerful Bhaal, of many different classes and races(Swashbukling Drow, Berserker Sahuagi, illusionist Rakshasha). While most evil characters choose godhood, some do not.

    Tell us about some of your most godly heros, what they equip to kick ass, and how much ass they kick.

    Uh, KWizee, welcome to the boards and all, but you should really have put this in the Throne of Bhaal forum instead of the Shadows of Amn one.

    *slight spoiler alert*

    Since I prefer to RP rather than PG, most of mine are fairly vanilla. They also tend to be good guys who find someone to love and ultimately just want to be left alone and have as normal a life as they can, without being dragged into one epic quest after another or having some nutter try to steal their soul. Inevitably, they end up as heroes more by chance than by design or desire, because they help those who can't help themselves.

    Leaving aside exploits of the game engine (esp. Project Image), probably the strongest PC I've had was the evil Monk - I swear, once they start getting to higher levels (by which I mean levels 13-15), they open up a whole brewery of whoop-a$%. This one was no different.

    My solo Kensai/Mage was by far the most powerful character I've ever witnessed. Level 14/40 or something like that. Robe of Vecna, Bracers of AC 3, Ring of Gaxx, dual-wielding the Celestial Fury and the Crom Faeyr, über-stats 18, 18, 18, 18, 18, 3 or something like that (who needs charisma to kill?) etc. etc. I remeber taking out Firkraag in the first or second round due to Improved Alacrity -> Time Stop -> Lower Resistance X times -> Greater Malison -> Abi Dalzim X times -> Finger of Death -> Dead Dragon. Enormous advantage to have ToB (xp cap) installed. I really felt like Irenicus. With the Amulet of Power and Robe of Vecna, casting took no time at all. Massive spellcasting ability, sweet memories of the Death Spell in the Underwater City. If anyone came close, the Celestial Fury stunned them, the Crom Faeyr finished them. With all the protection spells (Absolute Immunity anyone?), you're pretty much unstoppable. Ah well, 'twas nice to do it once. Don't think I'll do it again though. Nowdays, I don't even use the Crom Faeyr. Sometimes I skip the Silver Sword and Carsomyr as well. Use The Ravager, or why not The Wave, instead and have more fun and more of a challange. Celestial Fury is out in thin ice as well. That stun has won me many a battle.

    Kensai is unable to use Bracers... Kachiko, Kensai-mage, can't wear them too.

    Well, my Druidic Sorcerer is by all means the most powerful PC caster. He has all neat spells, both sorcerer and druidic and he can cast as a sorcerer.

    I have Planar Sphere mod and its main quest is very fruitful in terms of power.

    I killed Shade of Vecna and this rewarded me his Cloak and Eye. CLoak is spiffy, Cloak of Balduran plus %50 Cold Resistance and summons shadows. Eye is one use item, x4 1st, x2 second level spell, plus casting time, plus save bonuses, MR etc.

    I killed a sorcerer who eveb challenged Gods and Lord Ao and Lady of Pain, and after killing him, a fraction of his power became mine. His stuff is very neat, gloves which increase casting speed, immunity to various things, and can cast Spell Strike/Energy Drain 1/day. His staff of sorcery is sweet, pro from evil, +4 AC and saves, HP bonus, dispels magic per hit, can cast a very potent improved disintegrate and Chain Contingency 3/day! Plus my DS gained a special ability:Sorcery. This is a ritual of some sorts, with huge casting time, when completed all enemies around suffers 100 point of damage, no save, no MR, no resistance. Neat!

    Now he is level 33 in ToB, he has 44+ 1st, 24+ 3nd, and 10+ other levels of spells. He can use a mage HLA (ANY, selected upon casting) 2/day and any druid HLA/day. He gained additional MR, resistances, bonuses via DS HLAs. He has improved spells like Contemplative Magic Misiles, Controled Web, Imp.gost armor, Otilukes sphere without save, Cone of Freezing cold (freezes all), Pro From Elemental Energy, Delayed Fire Blast (15d6, party friendly, save for 3/4 damage) and Imp. Shapechange (shapechange into all forms plus Red Dragon, complete with Breath Weapon and Win Buffet)

    He has acces to Quentestinal Magic, which creates Huge Firestorms, Eqarthquakes, Ice Storms combined with Lİghtning, Cones of COld, etc. His single spell will drop all enemies MR and elemental resistances to zero. Then everything is easy picking for his arsenal of spells!

    My DS also casts all spells instantly, he has so much items and one HLA that increase casting speed.

    His saves are all below zero, he has 110 MR, and all other resistances are 50+.

    With quick casting of a few spells he goes below -14 AC, with a 12 DEX. :p

    He dispelled Undead Sola's heavy protections, that is quite a task! Also killed Improved Bodhi in a TimeStop+Imp. Alacrity combo. On insane no less, on insane Bodhi had gained a second breath, fully healed.

    He singlehandedly destroyed Improved Irenicus and his goons, Wraith of Wrath, Sword of Greed, Eye of Terror, Dragon of Pride. He turned into Red Dragon and beat Irenicus Slayer to his death.

    IAll improved llisera and Gromnir was nothing to him. Against YagaSHura's army, his 4 Project Images summoned an army equally, composed of Fire Elementals (12), Mountain Bears (24), and Planetars (4), all hasted, Yaga Shura's army stood no chance. Yaga SHura was HARD, as Horrid Wiltings did only 4-5 damage, and he was resistant to everything. Then once my DS found his only weakness, he quickly did more than 150 damage in a single round, though poor Immy did the final killing blow, almost accidentally. Oh well.

    Now he will challenge Improved Oversight Sendai! Promises to be fun!

    My DS is one bad ass chaarcter, probably the most powerful chaarcter I ever created and I could ever. I plan on playing as a different, less power-build class for the next time though.

    Can someone beat my DS on terms of power, versatileness and coolness? :grin:
