I was throwing together a level 20 build because I was bored and this is what I came up with:

1-7: Feral Centaur: +12Str, +2Dex, +6Con, -6Int, +4Wis, Pounce; Power attack, Cleave, EWP: Spiked Cain
8 Barb:
9 Fght: Destructive Rage, Intimidating Rage
10 Fght: Improved Bullrush
11 FB:
12 FB: Shock Trooper
13 FB:
14 FB:
15 FB: Improved power attack, Headlong rush
16 Fght
17 Fght: WF: Spiked Chain
18 Exotic Weapon Master: flurry of strikes, Extra Rage
19 Exotic Weapon Master: uncanny blow
20 ????
Flaw: -2 ranged attack roll

Lets say you have18 + 12 Racial+ 4Stat Gains+ 6Belt + 10 Rage/Frenzy= 50 (+20) STR

Then a: +1 Large Berserker ????? Adamantine Full Blade deals 2d6+3magic+40STR = 50 Damage. Add in power attack (-17, +51) and multiply by two rom headlong charge to get (52+51)=203 per hit.
Assuming all 6 of your attacks hit then 6*203=1218 average damage.


I just wanted to ask around before I actually make a character that utilizes this strategy whether all of my calculations were correct.
Please tell me if anything in this build looks wrong.

Actually, you'd do 20 less damage per attack vs the Titan, so it'd be 1158 damage, which still kills it. Also, said Titan has AC58, and thus you'd most likely only hit him on a 20. So yeah, you could kill it in one round, however it's very unlikely you'd hit with all six attacks(1 in 64000000, I believe.)

You can't use Flurry of Strikes with a Fullblade. Only double weapons and Spiked Chains. Skip those last 2 Fighter levels and Exotic Weapon Master - you'd probably be better off with more Frenzied Berserker levels.

Oops I was under the impression that brilliant energy bypassed natural armor :embarrass . I'll change that to something else. Any suggestions?

I guess I'll be using a spiked chain then. The spiked chains would also help me not take AoO from headlong rush.

Edit: I changed my build around so that it uses a spiked chain and is no longer using a brilliant energy weapon. Does anyone see any other error?

Whoops, I missed the Brilliant Energy part. Doh.

brilliant energy doesn't ignore natural armor. It was my mistake, you were right.

Unless there has been a change, Feral doesn't apply to giants, so you can't have a Feral Ogre.

Thank you...
I'm gonning to go change the build to use a centaur instead.

Wow, I made a lot of mistakes on the character. Does anyone see any others?

Rearrange the feats a bit? Rage feats are [General] not [Fighter] - no?

[edit] Actually, that'll force you to delay access to FB :(

I guess I'll move Exotic Weapon Master to an earlier level.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for:
-a last level to take at level 20?
-a good magical enchantment for my weapon
-a way to end frenzy (preferably a magical item much like the cursed boots of dancing that are command word activated and will prevent me from killing my friends. I would just get the boots but they are very expensive excpetially at lower levels)
