Sorc30 with no defensive spell selections... Just straight offensive destuction.

Archers without hips of any kind seem glass cannons to me.

Oh fine, I suppose I can come up with one more strange one... How about B8/DP10/Temp5/WM7... Strength based Dual wielder with 6 damage from inspire courage which can crit. Requires leveling in a very specific manner to work:
Bard to 6, must take Weapon Finesse to qualify for DP.
DP to 6 (Total level 12; gets TWF, LoH, Spring Attack and ITWF)
- must get dodge and mobility by level 12
Tempest to 5 (Total level 17; gets whirlwind attack at Tempest 5)
- must get Combat Expertise and Weapon Focus by level 17
Weapon Master to 3 (total level 20, to meet 3b20 rule)

So this requires Weapon Finesse, Dodge, Mobility, Combat Expertise and Weapon Focus leaving you with 2 more feats (3 if human).

Here a heavily item-dependent one...

Give her an IPA Hide armor for even higher cannonicity and glassiness.
