22 base strength, +2 from an item such as ring, and +10 from Epic Rage.

Thus 34 strength, modifier of 12. So let us look one handed damage with a Battleaxe and Northlander Hewing:
8 (Battleaxe)
+ 4 (Enchantment Bonus)
+ 12 (Strength modifier)
+ 12 (Northlander Hewing)
= 36 per hit.

Or without Northlander Hewing:
1d8 (Battleaxe)
+ 4 (Enchantment Bonus)
+ 12 (Strength modifier)
= 20.5~

It is not the greatest, but you can put away your shield for a quick +6 damage. In otherwords it is not that different from the damage from the Water Genasi build discussed earlier, one that goes for Epic Damage Reduction. It would be easy to say that the Water Genasi build would be better.

But, if you want that 1000 hitpoint Earth Genasi just for giggles, go for it.

You could always go for a variant of my good old Barbarian 20/Fighter 10 build. Start with 20 constitution, make it 22, and spend 9 of your your possible epic feats on Epic Toughness... (You need to start with 17 Strength.)

Code: Select all

12*20 = 240 (Barbarian levels)
10*10 = 100 (Fighter levels)
12*30 = 360 (Constitution modifier under Epic Rage, standard)
30*9  = 270 (Epic Toughness feats)
1*30  = 30  (Toughness feat)

240 + 100 + 360 + 270 + 30 = 1000 (Hitpoints)
:lol:

Sounds fun lol. How is its damage?

It would use Northlander Hewing Combined with Improved Combat Expertise.

Actually, this it what it would look like: http://nwn2db.com/build/?276038
You haven't got epic rage feat in the build. This will cost him 1 epic toughness so - 30 HP!

From the build itself.
At Barbarian 10, you gain a bonus feat and that is spent on Extend Rage.
At Barbarian 20, you gain a bonus feat and that is spent on Epic Toughness, hence the Epic Toughness taken at character level 25 is actually spent on Epic Rage. (Strength requirement lowered to 21)
