== Introduction ==

And ye, from within the belly of the Fallen Tarrasque emerged a figure draped in simple, if not ragged clothing. "Yeh must be the legendary warriors I'be hearin' about?" He murmured, bowing low and speaking in slow, methodical tones. "I s'pose I be the challenge yeh seek?"

This Character is heavily based off of Classes and Feats found on this website. It also uses the Races of War Combat Options.

=== Tactics ===

This Character is on the front lines, Locking down enemy spellcasters with his Spellfire Destruction. Anyone Buffed to the point of invulnerability is subjected to his Anti-Magic Strike. After he has "Unmagicked" The Spellcasters, he will simply Stab until they stop moving. Cut off from their Mystical Support, the Front Line Fighters and Rogues will stand little chance against him. He Uses his Blitz Ability to Add his BAB to his damage, and uses his Parry Ability to Negate three of the attacks of opportunity against him. So out of the 4 attacks he makes, he can negate 3 of them. Against AC 40. He'll hit Every Time.

=== Munchkin-Size Me ===

I can't think of much more to do to this guy.

== Side Notes ==

We're actually looking for people to help improve this build.

=== Limitations ===

Well that's easy. Target his weaker defenses, IE, his Reflex Saves. Other than that, Just keep hacking away and hope you have a Really High BAB or roll a lucky 20.
