Famous optimized character builds?

[rockdeworld]

Sleeping Raven Infinite Blood Frenzy?

Yes, thank you.

[Darrin]

If Cindy is "PO" then the Mailman should be "PO".

The Mailman's brother, The UPS Man by ShneekeyTheLost, might also be worth mentioning.

Ok, I have found:

Tauric Ubercharger by swanyusd

The UberERcharger by Tempest Stormwind.

I can't find Djinn_in_Tonic/Gideon_Gideonson's "Outcharging the UberERCharger", although he mentions a few details about it here.

Another trick that still gets mentioned somewhat frequently, although Doc Roc kinda trumped it with his magic jar within a jar trick:

The Psionic Sandwich by Tleilaxu Ghola.

You're right about the mailman - it was intended for play. I've switched it.

The UPS Man and Magic Jar trick don't have builds yet(even though the UPS Man is a good guide, and the Magic Jar trick is really cool), so I can't add them atm.

The Psionic Sandwich is hilarious. I've added it with the two uberchargers.

Eh, the UPS Man build looks almost identical to the Mailman build, since they use so many of the same tricks. Just switch Empower and Maximize with Fell Frighten and Fell Drain, and replace Enlarge Spell with Searing Spell. Replace Ocular Spell with Blistering Spell.

Include the spells indicated in the OP. Done.

It was more of a variant than an actual independent build, using Greater Arcane Fusion to squeeze out a bunch of 1st level spells that automatically dealt 1-2 damage (depending on supposed immunities) and a negative level. Basically, enervation spam. Oh, and it was also spamming fear effects from Fell Frighten, which stack, and it would quickly make an opponent Cowering, so even if he didn't go down, he will the following round.

[dextercorvia]

Didn't the UPS Man also have 4 levels of Dread Witch to make the fear stacking more effective?

Team Solar was an actual game that got played so I don't think you can call that TO.

My mistake then, switching it.

[Draz74]

Team Solar was an actual game that got played so I don't think you can call that TO.

But that "actual game" was The Grinder ... which might have been explicitly advertised as a campaign for using TO in. I don't know for sure; I wasn't following it at the time.

Likewise, while the Cube was actually played, it was played in the Test of Spite, which I think was designed to test PO to the breaking point. The fact that the Cube was undefeated is probably a good sign it broke into TO territory.

Unrelated note: Should we add a section for "Missing In Action" builds for:

Neo-Terminator
Ghola Character
Outcharging the UberERCharger

[Venusaur]

The Arseplomancer, which is like a more deadly version of the jumplomancer.

Also, Tainted Scholar should probably be mentioned, as it is a famous way of easily breaking the game into teeny-tiny pieces.

Tainted scholar (and its previous iterations; tainted sorcerer and maho tsukai) isn't a build, it's just an extremely unbalanced PrC.

Well, the necropolitan taint stacking is a build, and pretty famous at that.

Also, Mango Eldar's Clone Army is worth adding to the list.

You should open a new thread for this, rather than necro'ing, but the short answer is that no TO builds are at all suitable for practical games, by definition.

[Endarire]

Hood! (Download)

More of an archetype than a build, but the post contains many builds.

[nedz]

That would be the old thread necromancer build.

[Darrin]

Well, while it's active, I'm going to post some additional finds:

Thread necro typically doesnt apply to informational compilation threads. The whole point of these threads is to be a resource that is continually updated.

Thanks Endarire. I don't think I can add that to the list just yet, because a sortof informal criteria I have for "famous" is that someone other than the OP posts it here.

That said, if an OP posts their build here and someone else seconds it, I'm willing to add it to the list.

[ComaVision]

The link for The Terminator goes to The Omnisificer.

[Rubik]

Tiny von BigMcLargeHuge is doable if you take Human Heritage at 1st level.

And that conversation between JaronK and Lycanthromancer eventually led to this. Don't have a name for it, though. The Elder Evil Eliminator, maybe?

[rockdeworld]

The link for The Terminator goes to The Omnisificer.

Fixed, thanks.

Also added Tiny, thanks. Same logic as above applies to the EEE.

[QuickLyRaiNbow]

Tleilaxu Ghola was such a boss. The save game mechanic is one of the most excellent and elegant things I've seen done with this game.

[VisitingDaGulag]

I like this thread!

If no hood then we dodged TML's ghost telekenesis builds. Phew.

I looked around here and found these:
Triple 9's (wizard, cleric, psion) by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Max Rebuke HD by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Max Sneak Attack by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Max Eldritch Blast by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Max HP (I don't like this one) by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Max Skirmish by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Charger Overkill (8 to 70 million damage?) by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Max DMM Pools by PlzBreakMyCampaign
Non-Epic Demilich by PlzBreakMyCampaign
A Vampire PC that Doesn't Suck by PlzBreakMyCampaign (lol)
The Ultimate Bear Build by PlzBreakMyCampaign (One last build to kill them all?)

Matrix Monk by Soro_Lost

Searches for "Stuff" and "Junk" and "builds" turned up:

UltraShifter by Prime32 (TO)
The Mindslayer by Prime32 (kill anything without wis-damage immunity and dream elementals)

Death from Above by Maat Mons and sirpercival's Grapplemancer at the same link

Can anyone find "The Anthropologist"? It was by Carnivore or maybe JaronK, I forgot. It used soothing voice and diplomancy to run around winning D&D by not fighting. The whole point was to ask questions. Hilarious

[QuickLyRaiNbow]

I want to throw Hi Welcome by Sunic_Flames out there. He was a ****, but it's also a powerful Druid build that doesn't take Natural Spell at 6 and became a meme.

[rockdeworld]

Thanks. Added the builds except for UltraShifter, because it doesn't actually work according to the posters in that thread.

[ComaVision]

The link for The Terminator goes to The Omnisificer.

Fixed, thanks.

Also added Tiny, thanks. Same logic as above applies to the EEE.

The Jumplomancer link also goes to The Omnisificer.

[rockdeworld]

The Jumplomancer link also goes to The Omnisificer.

Thanks. It seems the links somehow got changed, and The Omnisificer saw it coming. I've updated the links accordingly.

My favorite core OP build is an elven fighter rogue with the feats: improved two weapon fighting, improved trip, and combat reflexes. Throw in some spherical ioun stones, and you've got a pretty stupidly over powered character. My circle has actually banned the combination of improved trip and combat reflexes.
Here's a glipse at what you could do with this feat combo.
A Dex of 24 allows you to attack 7 times [I]without two weapon fighting.[I] Since sneak attack is defined as coming into effect when the opponent is deprived of his Dex bonus, all damage is calculated as sneak attack damage.
