Like I said in the other thread, the DM has weird unstated rulings on what is and isn't allowed (the main reason why I never tried to compete).
Linguist, Mad, Unique, none of these things am I
My custom class: The Priest of the Unseen Host

The never ending dungeon and be beaten by the never ending character

If you die, play the dungeon again with the same character build. If both are truly never ending then there will be an isntance of a game where the character rolls natural 20s every time and the monsters roll natural 1s every time.
Tiers explained in 8 sentences. With examples!
[spoiler]Tiers break down into who has spellcasting more than anything else due to spells being better than anything else in the game.
6: Skill based. Commoner, Expert, Samurai.
5: Mundane warrior. Barbarian, Fighter, Monk.
4: Partial casters. Adapt, Hexblade, Paladin, Ranger, Spelltheif.
3: Focused casters. Bard, Beguiler, Dread Necromancer, Martial Adapts, Warmage.
2: Full casters. Favored Soul, Psion, Sorcerer, Wu Jen.
1: Elitists. Artificer, Cleric, Druid, Wizard.
0: Gods. StP Erudite, Illthid Savant, Pun-Pun, Rocks fall & you die.

Yeah, but there are things that exist which do damage without saving throws.  Thus, even getting perfect rolls could prove insufficient.  (For example, a sorcerer shooting magic missiles through arrow slits, or using power word:pain)

Yea but once you'll hit the DM with enough D20s to knock him out. And they'll be 20s.
