Powerplayer UBER Solo char [SPOILERS]

[WARNING: This thread will be heavily loaded with SPOILERS so, new players do not read]

Hello powerplayers, who hasn't searched for the ultimate solo char? I've read several guides, and I like more my idea, I brought it here for you to rip it apart and polish it out!

The char is a strong melee tank, with critical AC needed for HoF, sky STs, plenty of skills, and excellent enchanter, summoner and healer. Too good to be true? Check it out.

The bad things are:
-It severely exploits the export-import in-game feature, though this is NOT cheating.
-It is challenging and boring to build. (his true power depends on several times the paladin quest and he's got an 80% exp penalty most of his time)

Ok, here it goes:

Race:
deep gnome (not a surprise huh?)

Starting stats:
str 8, dex 20, const 13, int 14, wis 5, cha 14
[actually, const would be 12, but I had left a point I didn't know where to put]

Classes:
rogue(1): crow's nest
paladin(1): light of cera sumat, +1 str&wis quest
sorcerer(1): shield spell
fighter(4): weapons spec.(longswords and axes), maximize attacks
ranger(1): ambi & two weapons fighting feats
monk(1): evasion and wisdom AC bonus
helm(17): healer, summoner, enchanter, bombardier with sky DC spells

we have 4 more levels left, which I choose to put in:
paladin(1): fear immunity
sorcerer(3): extra duration for shield spell and mirror image

The order to get them is not difficult to find it out, being ranger and monk the last 2 levels, he will be with 80% exp penalty, when he gets ranger he will be at 100% so he will have to rely on the monk monastery's adventurer tome to reach level 30.

As you can probably already noticed, the power of this char mainly comes from an exploit of the paladin quest at graveyard. This would give him 40 str and wisdom.

The equipment for this char is obvious:
no armour, light of cera sumat+golden heart of charname, crow's nest, sunfire amulet, chimandrae boots, indomitable bands

The AC reachable is 76:
10 base
15 (wisdom)
11 (dexterity) (20 +7 level bonus attributes + 5 boots = 32 dexterity)
4 deep gnome racial (generic)
1 dodge feat (generic)
4 haste spell (golden heart)
5 indomitable bands (generic)
3 sunfire amulet (generic)
3 crow's nest (generic)
7 shield spell (armour)
6 divine shell (deflection)
5 expertise feat (special)
2 helm watch (generic)

besides his AC, this char will have mirror image, that together with his melee bonuses makes him a powerful tank that can also cast heal!!!. He can switch to ranged axes with his high dex too, or summon minions, and cast symb of hopelessness with a very high DC.

His STs are well above the 30s.

What else can I say? Bring up your thoughts!
