So, the campaing I'm in is no-magic. No divine, no arcane, no psionics in any shape way or form, if its spellike, it wont be there, if its supernatural, it doesnt even exist, if its extraordinary, thats all mighty okay. Whew... kinda gives me some breathing room! Pointbuy 25 or 3d6, for optimizations sake I took pointbuy. Every book is accessible one way or another, including UA for variant rules that need to be okayed. Thats what I'm working with and what led to me building a straight melee special-ist. Oh, yes, only allowed race is human and characters are in the town watch.

Okay, seriously... theres so much room for improvement, basically I would just want 20 feats at first level, and I fear this is no way the best route to get them. How to make a better straight out power attacking frenzying melee specialist without putting your life on the line by being frenzied berserker? You may imagine the horror I'ma gonna go through in a world without healing spells if I go 'zerker... Wants true resurrections. Badly. Largest problem is just to find spellability-less melee prestige classes. My other project is "feat dervish",

I'll post it soon.

See if you can get the feat "Troll-Blooded" from Dragon 319. You'll get regeneration 1 (fire & acid). It gives you a much better chance of surviving and opens up the possibility of being a frenzied berserker (which is a fantastic power attacker). And Regeneration is extraordinary so should fall within the requirements of your DM's no-magic limitations.
