Jan 06, 2010 8:16:54		I am going to be posting some level 20 fighter builds I made many months ago under the old forum. To attempt to prevent some of the old discussions, I am posting my assumptions.

Assumptions:
Fighter: All levels are fighter levels, however, depending on the build I might be using one or more WoTC published fighter variants (dungeon crasher, thug, kobold warrior, etc). In any case, it is still a fighter ... if you have issues with this aspect, ignore this thread as I do not want to discuss this.
Dipping: I understand that the power level of each build would be increased by dipping. The easiest example is to add a 1 level dip for Barbarian to gain pounce. This would stop the build from being a level 20 fighter, so is ignored.
Power Level: It might be possible to rebuild one of my builds as a different level 20 single class (no PrCs) that holds to the flavor / concept equally well, however, this does not negate the fact that the build will work as stated.
Items: Items/WBL are a key part of a character, each of the builds spends cash to shore up weaknesses, increase strengths, and gain new abilities. This is the desired DnD behavior.
Feats: Feats are part of a character and are spent to shore up weaknesses, increase strengths, and gain new abilities. This is the desired DnD behavior.
Class X: None of my builds can be duplicated by a commoner without sacrificing power.
Books Allowed: Any WoTC published 3.5 book (no Dungeon magazine) as well as WoTC published Web enhancements, etc was allowed during creation of the build.
DM fiat: Each build is built to minimize the number of hoops a player has to go through to get DM approval of the build. For instance, a Monk/Barbarian/Paladin is technically possible, but the AL issues cause strife.

Note:
Although each of these is presented as a level 20 build, if you would like to examine it at a lower level, the modification is simple to do.

This is still a work in progress, as I get better acquainted with the new site format,  I will be updating the builds to provide better format as well as showing more about how they operate.
