Antipaladin (Knight Of The Sepulcher); Nagaji

Self-Important Preface: This character was built as an exercise in making a viable antipaladin, which sort of worked.  The main obstacle I was seeing had to do with mobility- this character's stuck with a 20' move speed in full plate, though Hurtful kind of makes up for it.  Hurtful is an incredible feat for intimidaters, allowing an extra attack as a swift action whenever an opponent within reach is successfully intimidated.  That's a swift-action extra attack at full BAB that stacks with haste!  It grants some impressive versatility to a character (like this one) without a lot of swift action options, allowing an attack in conjunction with Dazzling Display (not that this character uses Dazzling Display), Cornugon Smash, Dreadful Carnage, and any of the other intimidation feats.  

This character is meant to be a heavy one-on-one tank, but I think its lack of movement speed really cripples it.  It was a good exercise, and would be a strong, resistant tank with constant or clever use of haste or boots of haste; maybe telekinetic charge?  It's also unfortunate that intimidate is this character's only skill, though it is very good at it.  As such, it might be a good idea to get the Antagonize feat early and hope the DM doesn't get mad that you use it all the time.

This build was created in November of 2015.
