So, I took the whole Shock Trooper while Karmic Fighting idea and replaced it with Inspire Recklessness from Warchanter. This is what the build looks like right now, please let me know what you think. Human (Rhenee if it matters) STR 16 DEX 14 CON 14 INT 14 WIS 8 CHA 8 1 Bard 1: Combat Reflexes, Dodge 2 Bard 1/Fighter 1: EWP: Spiked Chain 3 Bard 1/Fighter 2: Combat Expertise, Karmic Strike 4 Bard 1/Fighter 3: STR +1 5 Bard 1/Fighter 4: Power Attack 6 Bard 1/Fighter 5: Mobility 7 Bard 1/Fighter 6: Weapon Focus: Spiked Chain 8 Bard 1/Fighter 6/Warchanter 1: STR +1 9 Bard 1/Fighter 6/Warchanter 2: Elusive Target 10 Bard 1/Fighter 6/Warchanter 3 11 Bard 1/Fighter 6/Warchanter 3/Barbarian 1 12 Bard 1/Fighter 6/Warchanter 3/Barbarian 1/X 1: Extra Rage That's as far as I've gotten. I might just finish up the last levels with Fighter ending up as Fighter 10 to grab a couple more feats. What do you guys think?

Attack at 15th, with reckless rage, +1 weapon, +6 belt, Haste BAB+12, +12 recklessness, +11 Str, +1 weapon, +1 focus, +2 MWM, , +1 Haste, -12 power attack=+28/+28/+23/+18 1d8 +24 PA +22 STR +4 feats +1 weapon=1d8+51 Bite=+21, 1d6+19 Attack bonus can be improved by 1 and damage by 2 by replacing the monk levels with fighter levels...but then you lose out on all the monk benefits which greatly improve versatility. This build really focuses on raw damage though...and counts on being able to outdamage the target.

Ideally, every time an opponent attacks you and hits, you get to hit them back and chances are, you'll be hitting a lot harder than anything will be hitting you.
Jay_Ibero_911 07-23-07, 12:43 PM	Yeah, -12 Recklessness, -4 Karmic Strike, -4 Reckless Rage=-20 AC. Just have to hope that the baddy's damage is a smaller portion of your HP than your damage is of his HP. Definately gonna want a +6 amulet of health,
