I'm new here, but I have been reading this forum for a while (I have readed about 40 pages of this forum to find an appropriate build but found nothing really good).
So If you could help me, I would be very thankful.
****
I'm looking for a "fighter" build, which will be suitable for 1 vs 1 fight with another "fighting" character. It would be something like arena fight.
There are few rules:
* It must be a "fighter", not a class Fighter, but a character which main ability is to fight. (Warblade, Ranger, Fighter, Monk, etc.)
* It must have an ECL 5. And race without spell likes.
* And the most important, It should be optimized to fight with another character, build on same rules.
* You can use all official handbooks from WotC.
Few additional informations:
* It can be "Archer" character, but It must not Fly.
* It should be capable of overcoming such things: High AC, Grappling, High HP.
****
As I said before I would be very thankful if you help me with that. Time is essential too. ;)
Thanks in advance.

first, I'll advice you to check my signature for the "Surreal Handy links".
Most helpful builds will pop out there.
Second, as throu posting rules, you neglacted to mention what kind of fighter you would like to play. All I read was what can be done. And with that still you can make lots of builds.
Third! Welcome aboard!
how the two connected? :shrug:
It would be unfair to fly and just shoot, and shoot, to pure meele fighter at the arena. So flying is out. ;)

Thank you for this link.

I would like to play some build, which will simply overdamage my enemy. But keep in mind that it should also easily hit my enemy.
Or I would also like to play some decent Archer build with + speed, to double speed my enemy, so i can just shoot him up.
If u can give me some decent build for that. I would be thankful.
Third! Welcome aboard!
Aye, sir!
Edit: PB 32, for Atributes.
But It does too little dmg, to be a good build.
Edit: Anyone can help? ;)
You can use Moment of Perfect Mind to take care of those pesky will saves, trip your foes and attack if their AC is too high, etc.
Something like that :
But Thank YOU very much for this build.
If anyone can also help me. With no variant rules and flaws (nor traits).
Please.
Edit: 9000 for Equipment.

Here is the stuff which is NOT banned. So you can use it.
What kinds of characters have you faced in this arena before, and what have you already fielded?
So it would be somehow fighting class. And PROBABLY made only by SRD.
What kinds of characters have you faced in this arena before, and what have you already fielded?
It will be my first fight, so I don't want to loose so easily.
And the characters there are pretty tough as i know. It is arena of a bunch of powergamers ;) So they got some very good ideas.**
It would be gr8 if you help me.
With some decent build at ECL 5, PB 32. But half of it is ground. So we get sth like 1005ft./1005ft/502.5ft(high).
No obstacles.
Starting Positions: -250/0/0 i 250/0/0.
0/0/0 is the center of the Arena.
Raptoran Fighter 1/Barbarian 1/Crusader 3
Hmm, Do you guys know HOW It can make about ~~200 dmg?
My friend, just gave me a hint, about this build, but I have no idea, how It works.
It is "to do on PB 32, standard GP and two non magic daggers". As he said. ;)
Str 18, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 8 (level bump went to Str)
Feats: Power Attack, Air Heritage (+30' fly speed, Planar Handbook), Combat Reflexes (bonus)
Skills: Tumble 5 ranks, Balance 5 ranks
Skill Tricks: Twisted Charge
Maneuvers: Bonecrusher, Battle Leader's Charge, Disarming Strike or Emerald Razor, Steely Strike, Moment of Perfect Mind
Stances: Leading the Charge, Stance of Clarity
Gear: +1 ripper (2d6 piercing, 19-20 crit, Planar Handbook), +1 chain shirt, anklet of translocation (swift 10' teleport, Magic Item Compendium), heartseeking amulet (swift, next melee = touch, Magic Item Compendium), potion bracer (no AoO to use potion, no action to draw, Sharn: City of Towers), 1 or 2 extra rippers in case of disarm/sunder, dagger
Consumable items: potion of wings of air (Spell Compendium), potion of see invisibility (if invisibility is not banned), potion of shield wouldn't hurt either
--
Round-by-round tactics:
1) Start in Stance of Clarity, drink your potion of wings of air - you'll have fly 70' (good) now. (If you can keep your speed secret, it will help a lot.)
2) Walk forwards until you're 140' from your opponent.
3) Fly up 30' and end 100' away. Switch stances to Leading the Charge.
4) You should be able to charge up to 140' now (don't forget that you get double speed going down). Activate heartseeking amulet, full power attack, initiate Battle Leader's Charge, end in a spot that gives you higher ground: melee touch +9 (4d6+54), no AoOs.

ps - the wings of air and twisted charge let you start on the ground, charge up into the air 15', and come down 10' while covering 30' horizontal in a single charge.
Blarg. You are my God.
Thanks you a lot!
Edit: If someone got another idea of ECL 5 Char, post it here.
Use a Guisarme and armor spikes. Get Enlarge Person potions. Use Warblade maneuvers for things like Sudden Leap, and Mountain Hammer.
If you have access to Unapproachable Easted, take Wolf Lodge Berserker (I think it's called), which lets you qualify for Improved Trip; otherwise, just Expertise + Improved Trip. One-on-one, you won't need Combat Reflexes, so take Deft Opportunist, Power Attack, Stand Still...
Smash the hell out of things from outside their range, and trip or Stand Still them when they try to get close. If you're worried about enlarged opponents, drop a couple feats for Aberrant Blood + Aberrant Reach from Lords of Madness.
The Immortal Soul
Human
1 - Crusader 1 Combat Reflexes, Weapon Finesse
2 - Incarnate 1
3 - Incarnate 2 Expanded Soulmeld Capacity (Theraputic Mantle)
4 - Incarnate 3
5 - Fighter 1 Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Kusari Gama)
Str: 11 (3)
Dex: 18 (13) Increased to 18 at 4th level
Con: 16 (10)
Int: 10 (2)
Wis: 12 (4)
Cha: 8
Fort: +7
Ref: +5
Will: +4
Attack: +7
Stance: Martial Spirit
Manuevers: Stone Bones, Crusaders Strike, Charging Minotaur, Douse the Flames, whatever...
Tactic: Before combat you pump 3 essentia into your Theraputic Mantle. This gives your Martial Spirit a tremendous boost. For every attack that strikes your opponent you heal yourself 9 hit points. A successful Crusader's Strike heals you 1d6 +8 hit points.
Basically, as long as you hit your opponent, you wil live. So, you use your Kusari Gama from reach, while hiding behind your shield.
You have a good initiative and may win initiative. If you do you use Charging Minotaur.
Up against a AoO monster, you have Douse the Flames to even the odds. And you have Combat Reflexes to make good use of your high Dexterity.
Your saves are ok aswell.
Equpiment: Whatever that boosts AC, to hit, and Will saves.
Also this guide is interesting... trying it out for a character ATM myself.

Cheers.
Good point, Tshern. Okay, that makes Combat Reflexes a must. I forgot Imp. Init, but CR can replace it.
I merely returned the favor, you reminded me of this in the discussion about an optimized Tarrasque and avoiding its Robilar's gambit.
I do not know, what to choose now ;)
Edit: But unfortunatelly DR310 (Incarnate) isn't available.

You could get a poor man's Thicket of Blades on there with a dragonborn breath weapon and Entangling Exhalation. Readied actions make it all the more fun.
