Please let me know your thoughts or suggestions: Ghostfaced Killer (10)/Avenging Excutioner (5)/Fighter (4)/Warblade(1) Race: Human Stats: (at level 1) Ability Score STR 20 DEX 14 CON 20 INT 12 WIS 6 CHA 20 APP 6 Level 1 Intimidating Strike Level 1 Power Attack Human Bonus Feat Level 2 Exotic Weapon Proficiency Fighter Feat Spiked Chain Level 3 Improved Bull Rush Level 3 Cleave Fighter Feat Level 5 Great Cleave Fighter Feat Level 6 Leap Attack Level 9 Improved Initiative Level 12 Shock Trooper Level 15 Improved Sunder Level 18 Combat Brute Battle: Spiked Chain 1) At level 10 my Character, Staby Mc Scardey, uses demoralize as a move Action. 2) He then uses his standard action to activate his maneuver "steel wind" from war blade. He gets two attacks with his standard action. 3) Staby uses his feat Intimidating attack to reduce his attack by 1 and therefore cause his first foe, and second foe, to suffer "shaken" on a DC 20 will save, if his attack roll succeeds. If so, before rolling for damage, he applies sudden strike damage (3d6) because shaken foes are considered flat footed. 4) After applying damage if he does ANY sudden strike damage all foes in 30' must make a DC 20 will save or be shaken (Bloody Blade). By now his next target this round will have to have passed 2 will saves and if he has failed both, unless I am mistaken, the fear effects will stack. 5) Finally, if by using his power attack feats this round he is able to drop this foe, or take it to less than 0 hp (Bloody Murder), all foes within 30' must pass another DC 20 will save or be frightened (success results in shaken). 6) My next attack is a cleave of course, and I can repeat steps 3 through 5 again until I do not drop my foe in one hit. 7) By the time I use my second attack my opponent is, at a minimum, shaken, thus guarenteeing sudden strike damage, thus hopefully continuing the cleave chain. At level 20 I can declare any of my hits to be a Frightful attack, and thus if I cleave I can continue my Frightful attack. The frightful attack DC will be 27-30, depending on what charisma items I have (no items = DC 27). Finally, each time I attack with Frightful cleave attack, including the first time, if my opponent fails their will DC they die, then onto the next one. If they pass their will DC they take 2d4 + 5 + 6d6 damage before power attack. The feats included would allow me to charge/leap for 6x power attack and possible turn my power attack penalty onto my AC, so my attack isn't lessened. At 20 thats a BAB of 17, so an additional 102 damage minimum. Any suggestions, critiques, ideas?

This may seem cheesy, but he's extremely rough on the mobs, he's a devious genious when it comes to preventing players from getting AoO or easy damage in and he's extremely evil, but fair.
