Regeneration Build

[Athanasie]

I would like to build a regeneration build with highest regen possible.
Lvl is 10-12, not higher.

At moment I can imagen vampire, fast healing 5, troll-blooded, regen 1 and Warshaper, fast healing 2......if this could be built ^^
Is there anything better?

Feat/Class/Item/spell Bible
PHB 1+2, DM Guide 1+2, Monster Manual 1-5
Book of Exalted Deeds, Cityscape
Complete Adventurer, Complete Warrior, Complete Mage, Complete Arcane, Complete Champion, Complete Divine, Complete Scoundrel

and a few Forgotten Reals Adventures

Saint template^BoED gets you fast healing 10 for +2 LA. Fast healing doesn't normally stack, but it's a powerful template anyway (it might even grant immunity to the energy types which overcome your Troll-Blooded regeneration, I can't remember).

I'm not sure whether the fast healing from evolved undead^LM would stack with saint (IIRC it explicitly increases your existing fast healing).

An undead creature can carry black sand^Sand on his person so that he's taking constant negative energy damage.

Damage reduction is sometimes flavoured as recovering from minor wounds instantly.


Your DM might have issues with you being an exalted undead though. For class I'd say Ferocity barbarian/frenzied berserker, but lacking a Con score might cut your rage duration.

Feral gives you fast healing.

I wouldnt go vampire.. +8LA just for fast healing is alittle much. Even half-troll would be better. or for +8LA you could even be a full blooded troll if memory serves....

Troll-blooded is pretty good  


Also you could go like Half-troll Fiendish Gravetouched Ghoul Swarm-Shifter   lol
have regen and be immune to everything cept fire/acid 
 

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Anuroch: The Empire of Shade (A FR adventure) contains the Sharn, which has Regenration 8/lawful and a laundry list of abilities.

Did I miss something?  Since when is something without a Con score allowed to have Regeneration?

+1.  If you're looking for fast heal, which is pretty operationally equivalent to regen, and you are not dead set on being undead, then I say Poison Healer is the way to go. 

[dna1]

Ahhh good point. I forgot about that... So no regen but his only vulnerabilities are to clerical turning and to fire and acid damage

Warforged Wizard who persists Construct Essence and Monstrous Regeneration anybody? 

[Prime32]

Tomb-Tainted Soul so you can still use black sand?

EDIT: I checked, saint grants immunity to acid, cold and electricity. If you have immunity to fire then your Troll-Blooded regeneration can't be overcome.

Also, this is relevant: The Emerald Legion

Uhm...is this one template or what is what? I have no idea where to look for what of this build o.O  sorry

Warforged Wizard who persists Construct Essence and Monstrous Regeneration anybody? 

Uhm....books maybe plz?


Where can I read something about Poison Healer and black sand?

Poison Healer. Most notable use is the "trouserfang dwarf", who fills his pants with cobras. I'd recommend combining it with some way to reduce or restore ability damage (eg. the Strongheart Vest soulmeld or Naberius vestige).

Black sand is in Sandstorm. The easiest way of getting it is by casting the black sand spell - the sand it creates is temporary, but anyone killed by it turns into normal black sand, which remains when the spell ends. IIRC it deals 1d6 negative energy damage per round to anything touching it, and is surrounded by darkness.

Warforged Wizard who persists Construct Essence and Greater Vigor anybody? 

FTFY
-unnecessarily pedantic

*edit* Forgot what I was thinking. Can we pull off a CL15 heal 1/round automatically every round?
Lessee, we need a 15th-level slot for an innate spell, Cleric CL 15 and an autoactivate ability... (schism?)

Okay, 9th-level casting, then DCFS 6 feats to extra slot while having earth/sanctum 11th-level slot to start with,
then DCFS to innate heal spell... Hm.
Don't actually need to be a cleric, if we use a wyrm wizard rebuild, for an example --- for a silent, still version (so we can schism it), we need... arcane thesis? would it work? wyrm wizard->heal, arcane thesis makes silent and still +0 level feats?

So, Practiced Ardent 3/Bard 4/Cerebremancer 3/Subchord 1/cerebremancer +7/wyrm wizard 2?

Evolved Undead doesn't specifically call out it stacks, but it is strongly implied it does due to templating multiplicity allowance with itself.

EDIT: I checked, saint grants immunity to acid, cold and electricity. If you have immunity to fire then your Troll-Blooded regeneration can't be overcome.

Mantle of the Fiery Soul^SpC grants that.

idk on high amounts of regeneration or fast healing. Either you die or the first 299HP of your 300 hit points don't matter *shurgs*. Nothing beats the ToB's Righteous Strike of Vitality with it's +150HP every other round (or every round with the right PrCs).

The only thing I can think of is a Loredrake Steel Dragon Sorcerer 3 / Pale Master 7 (sadly ECL 14) with Troll-Blooded & Mantle of the Fiery Soul is completely immune to damage making any nonterrasqua form of regeneration redundant. Take a level in Sand Shaper^Sand and you can even create walls to cover you as a free action which makes having a high save bonus redundant too. Finally since it's only ECL 15 at this point you still have room for reflavored Shadowcraft or the Incantatrix's Cooperative Metamagic & Snatch Spell. Oh and you are a True Dragon, you can access epic spells by the 10th level or so using aging effects. It's too high in level, too powerful, and not exactly what you want but so awesome it has to get mentioned anyway.

Fixed that for you.  Mantle of the Firey Soul was not printed in Spell Compendium (although Icy Soul was).

FTFY

Except not, as none of the Vigors grant regeneration, just fast healing.  

@Athanasie: Construct Essence is from Races of Eberron, Monstrous Regeneration is from Magic of Faerun.  Just cover the elemental damage holes in your regen with energy immunity spells/items/rituals.

[Senevri]

I meant that Monstrous Regeneration doesn't exist. Sorta.
Thus, needlessly pedantic.

*edit*
Not regen, but I quite like the combination of Transcend Mortality + True Resurrection. Especially at epic, when it's persistent Transcend Mortality + Ignore Material Components True Resurrection. 
I THINK you could even pull off the rather entertaining version of this, by using the usual Transcend Mortality at your Caster Level , then using JPM's Emerald Immolation to destroy yourself just before the effect runs out, and as you reform in 1-6 rounds, you effectively negate the downsides (your body is destroyed), as your body is ALREADY destroyed when the spell runs out.

[Wings of Peace]

Sorta?  You're going to have to explain this one to me.  I'm AFB right now but I was fairly certain it had an actual spell entry and everything in Magic of Faerun.

[Ithamar]

Wild Shape Ranger 5 / Master of Many Forms 7.  Take War Troll form for Regeneration 9.  No template needed.  Plus, now you're a freakin' War Troll.  Go nuts.

The Spell Compendium replaced monstrous regeneration with greater vigor.  It's in the list of Renamed Spells on page 6.
