Sir, this is a Pathfinder forum, those are D&D 5e 2 people marked this as a favorite.

you'd post it in 5e section, chances of having 5e stat experts here are rather low.

I've flagged the post to be moved into the correct forum. 2 people marked this as a favorite.

I think you've got the build down fairly well. I'm not super into Lord of the Rings, but a battle
against Sauron at the height of his power should definitely be the climax of an epic campaign.
