Inspired by Kuroimaken's many tales of badassery and feats of nondeliberate glory, I told him I'd make a thread like this in his most recent thread of depression and woe, so now I am making a thread like this.

So, from various accounts on these forums, Kuroimaken has demonstrated ability to take inordinate amounts of damage without so much as feeling it, breaking inanimate objects as a footnote to his fury, and to have a Gendo Ikari avatar. The joke has been Iron Heart Surge, but I think it goes a bit beyond that now. What we need now is a build that not just has roars of effort, but can do things like:

-Take far more damage than he has any business taking and not losing even a single hit point (well, ok, maybe a few, but not many)
-Destroy stuff with his bare hands, or at least cause massive damage, as in the case of denting a high velocity, 2 ton object by slapping it.

My own thoughts would be something akin to Frenzied Berserker, as these things seem to happen in adrenalin-inducing situations, or when Kuro is pissed, along with some kinda initiator, and of course, Iron Heart Surge somewhere along the way.

So, who wants to help make the True Kuroimaken build for our resident classy invincible brazilian guy (tm)?

No, see, I'm going for something optimal.  :eh ;)

Spell-to-Power Erudite that takes Southern Magician Cleric spells like Divine Power, Righteous Might, picks up spells like Greater Mighty Wallop, and dominates a few dozen spellcasters to sacrifice experience permanancying all this onto him?

Make a life-size statue from obdurium (Stronghold Builder's Guide p35), which has hardness 30.  You can also mix in pure ore (Dragon 347 p47) and oerthblood (Dragon 351 p45) to bump it up to hardness 90.  (Both double the hardness of the metal they're mixed with.)  Get someone to cast animate objects and permanency on the statue, so you have a creature with hardness 30 (or 90).  Get someone to cast greater humanoid essence (Races of Eberron p186) on the statue, so it is susceptible to mind-affecting effects.  Now, use true mind switch to become the statue, so you have harness 30 (or 90).

Don't forget to have Harden cast on that statue before you get in (+1/2 caster level to hardness).  And you could just use Haunt Shift to get in the statue.  Also, make it Dwarvencraft Quality for +2 Hardness and +10 hitpoints.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin Kuroimaken will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Alternatively, make the statue, then possess it using fiend of possession.

Remember, it doesn't have to be optimal. He's clearly higher level than everyone else in the setting, so he'll be a badass even if you just gave him straight monk levels.
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

Master Spellthief plus Reserves of Strength could be used as well.

I could have sworn permanently animated objects got a special immunity to dispel, but apparently I imagined that.  It could still work if you get a dweomerkeeper to cast both animate objects and permanency as supernatural abilities.  Permanency would probably have to be replicated by miracle to get the casting time down and for spell list compatibility. 

Also, which Glod are you refering to? 

And you could just use Haunt Shift to get in the statue.

Right, I keep forgetting about that.  That's probably the way to go.

Haunt Shift is instantaneous.  You're good to go there.

Though making it Huge and then landing a very high CL Shrink Item with Permanency is awfully useful, as you can go from Huge to Tiny whenever you want (Tiny for stealth, Huge when it's pimp slappin' time).

Maye optimise that statue while you're at it? I remeber that someone here mentioned that for these sort of things they usually used a statue of a centaur with wings and claws. The wings gave cover if neccessary (or maybe a grappling bonus, afb and can't remember clearly) and the hooves and claws gave extra attacks. Plus, it would look pretty cool.

Expert 20 // Ardent 10/Metamind 10

Take:
-Tashalatora (good unarmed damage)
-Dominant Ideal on a Customized Mantle of your choice
-Practiced Manifester for only 1 lost ML and since it's Ardent still 9th level powers.
-Temporal Reiteration (using a Customized Time Mantle as one of your mantles). Temporal Reiteration + Font of Power means limitless Power Points if you give up all but 9 swift actions each day. Also, your buffs last pretty much until dispelled.

Tactics: You manifest Schism to represent your subconscious mind. When Schism is about to expire, your subconscious manifests a new Schism. Otherwise, your Schism has a readied action to cast Temporal Acceleration (2 rounds with Orange Ioun Stone and Torc of Power Preservation), which it uses to manifest whatever the situation requires. Otherwise, you are just a highly-skilled expert.

Bonus: Your mind is powerful, but warped - just as Gendo Ikari's.
