Batman's Bane: The Joker

[ShneekeyTheLost]

I think he needs evasion an mettle, to represent the jokers ability to slip out of everything virtualy unscathed.

Maybe a 3 level dip into hexblade and a ring of evasion?
Not to mention the hex blades got that charisma mod to save vs utility bel... i mean spells.

Were I making him a combat-effective character, that would be a good move. Along with Warshaper from CompWar to give him a host of immunities, extra reach, and some other goodies.

However, he's not designed to be optimized from a combat perspective. He'll do everything he can to keep from being located and attacked. He works through pawns, minions, and cat's-paws.

For brute combat, he can just Diplomance a tribe of giants into attacking something. Mere physical combat is beneath him. Corruption of morals, twisting of ethics, and making the PC who is possibly the most powerful mortal in existance dance to his tune... that's what he gets his kicks from.
