    Default i need help with an epich character build

    Ok, so my DM has lost his mind and decided to start a new campaign at Level 23 GESTALT characters.

    I have my heart set on taking 20 levels of Hexblade and 20 levels of Dreadnecro. So that leaves me 3 more levels of two classes to take. I would love to access some epic spell casting so I am looking for a good prestige that adds to spell levels. I also think I might want to take advantage of being a litch and look at some monstrous classes.

    Any ideas where I should start looking? I have not settled on feats yet so I'm open to suggestions.

    Thaks for viewing and comments. Cheers

    If you've already gotten two classes to 20, I'd recommend just keeping it up. Epic feats are pretty awesome. Both probably get them every 3 levels, so that would be triple the epic feats.

    Right. And I would. But there is no epic progression for the dreadnecro or the hexblade... At least not that I know of.

    This is why I need help making this build work. If I can't find something thats worth it, I'll build the first 20 levels different.

    So this is what i'm thinking for my build so far:
    1: Dreadnecro/Factotum
    2: Dreadnecro/Hexblade
    3 - 20: ...
    21: Defiant/Factotum
    22: Defiant/Factotum
    23: Defiant/Factotum

    For feats Im liking:
    Corpse Crafter
    Destruction Retribution
    Undead Leadership
    Necromatic Presense
    Necromatic Might
    Fearsome Necromancy
    Fell Drain

    And with bonus feats from Hexblade Ill take:
    Spell Penetration
    Spell Focus (necromancy)
    Greater Spell Focus (necromancy)

    But I still need to pick up one more feat... any suggestions?

    Chain Spell allows armies of undead.

    Many of the secondary base classes don't have epic progressions, so this falls into 'ask the DM' territory. Do note that if you do take prestige classes for epic levels over epic base class progression then you will losing out on extra epic feats (which are the main source for abilities and power in general) so see if they are willing to write up the progression for those classes. If they won't then either be prepared to slowly fall behind anybody else that does run pure base class or switch your classes.

    As for lich, see how your DM wants to rule on the Dread Necro capstone ability as it is worded very badly so depending on how its ruled then you get lich for free.
    78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.

    Mine started in a Dwarven church of Pelor, now with a moon!

    Also, note to self, sacrificing KFC in a small apartment is not a good idea.
