the Concordant Killer might be best boosted like this:

Concordant Killer Warblade 2/Crusader 2/ Fighter 2/ Legendary Dreadnought 5

gives nice boost ... make sure you take Thick Skinned several times since the Concordant Killer already has DR 10/- ... it just gets better

as an Alternative .... you could try:

Concordant Killer Rogue 2/ Cleric 1/ Contemplative 2/ Void Incarnate 6

The thought of adding actual class levels hadn't occurred to me. I don't think I'll add that many since I want him to be CR 25 apparently. It seems 30 might be too high. I might push it though. Actually, I likely will. The main problem will be those damn feats. I've looked, and looked, and I just can't find any feats that I thought would be a valid idea. Actually, that's not true. I found two, but I don't know that I'll use them.

And that legendary tiger looks like it might pull itself off.

What direction were you thinking with the feats?  What two were you thinking to incorporate?

Well Thick Skinned had been a consideration for an additional DR 2/-, but Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, and Sense Weakness made sense to me as well. Especially since I'm kind of learning how my players optimize their characters. Although, I still don't think that's going to do anything against the diplomancer. But that's what the CR 23 Iron Golem's for.

Y'know there are epic golems you can use, you dont have to advance an iron one.

They have the added advantage of being completely immune to all magic and supernatural effects rather than just ones that allow spell resistance.

Yeah I'm going to have one of each of those too. But it's always nice to bring back a classic. It's like the butterfly. No one ever suspects it. Heh heh heh.

I've actually started reading over the paragon template in the ELH. That thing's nasty.

lol Thanks for these. You don't have to worry about doing any more though. I'm asking for this thread to be deleted. I've stepped down from the epic encounters tournament since they're no longer going to be doing it, but instead it'll be a high level 4E campaign.

I'm not participating in building that. I might play, but that'll be it.

Well, just for the record carnivore, you should have used half-celestial instead of half-dragon on the Megaraptor. Raptor Jesus.
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Epic gets VERY VERY weird, and is usually far off the RNG. So EVERY challenge will have to be hand-tailored vs your players.

This.

Non-Associated levels are (inverted) tricky.
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/improvingMonsters.htm#nonassociatedClassLevels

My favorite (stupid really !! ) use of this is:
Triceratops (+1 racial level) with Adept 16 ... which gets you Heighten to 9s + Epic Spells.
CR of 17 ... really (stupid !! )
 ;)

Not that a Triceratops with Adept and Epic Spell trickery, would normally be able to figure out what it is doing.
It would be able to escape from T Rexs and 1/2 mile wide Meteorites, though.
