#1 accidentally_evil_dup Mar 28, 2008 17:39:24	Hi y'all, So I got invited to a game tomorrow afternoon and was going to work on my character but work called and I can get an extra shift in (unfortunately thats more important so my broke behind can pay bills ) and I cant take my books to work. All books are allowed but Psionic classes/PrCs are banned and so is Frenzied Berserker... So I was hoping some of you guru's might be able to help me throw something together. Heres what I've got/am looking at; Starting at Level 6 28 point buy Half-Giant; +2str, +2con, -2dex (buyoff for the LA +1 is allowed so once thats adjusted I believe I'll end up a lvl 5 - first time using this for me so I'm not sure exactly) 13,000 gp in items/magic items allowed I'm looking at a Barbarian 4/Fighter 2 (or adjusted barb 3/fighter 2) Using the Barbarian Lion Totem instead of +10ft of movement, because I was basically told pounce was too good to pass up). Wants; Light or med armor that will provide best protection in conjunction with dex bonus(if any) Large Greataxe (enchanted??) because powerful build is gonna be nifty hehe Composite Longbow (+1 or +2 if it doesnt waste too much money) magic items that add anything to AC or what else might be useful for this build. feats; power attack of course leap attack if I can extra rage not sure from there... iron will maybe since that will save is gonna suck. Hope I hit everything, typing kinda fast cuz I'm running out the door. Thanks in advance!

It also has Barbarian as a favored class helping out those pesky XP penalties. With all that said (and assuming you can be a Goliath) try something like: 1 Barbarian 1; Improved Weapon Familiarity 2 Fighter 1; Power Attack (b) 3 Fighter 2; Improved Bullrush 4 Fighter 3 5 Fighter 4; Leap Attack 6 Fighter 5; Shock Trooper Use a Goliath Greathammer since it's like a Greataxe but blunt and with a x4 crit multiplier. Also take the dungeoncrasher fighter class variant from Dungeonscape. Take 1 more level of fighter to get the second benefit of dungeoncrasher then just take barbarian levels, maybe PrCing out at some point. Edit: Almost forgot! Do take the Lion Totem variant barbarian but also take the Goliath barbarian substitution level at 1st level. It makes you actually become large-sized (with all that reach) when you rage and gives you an extra +2 Str when you rage as well. If you really don't want the hammer then just take Extra Rage in place of Improved Weapon Familiarity and use a greataxe.
