Mar 22, 2011 8:04:36 For the most part I feel as if this build is extremely powerful. Of course you're going to have a hard time against wizards with celerity. Other than that I feel if you win the initiative roll you will win on round one most likely. Also I know where Dastana is from, however where is the +2 coming from?

Why so many fighter levels without dungeon crasher?

Why mobility? It basically just sucks. (And I am assuming you needed dodge for a prereq?)

How do you plan to win init if you only have a +2 to it?

Round 1 of every combat will be your opponent casting sleep on you because you loose init and your will save is so low. (Steadfast determination will help if you can get that)

Instant rage isn't helpful. You can rage for free on your turn. Take improved init instead. Hopefully you will go first, and then rage for free on your turn.

Mar 22, 2011 22:10:16 Hmm.

You need a DC 44 Jump check to Battle Jump an average size M human...assuming you have 20 feet of run space. 88 if you don't.

You need a DC 60 to do it to pretty much any size L humanoid or tall creature, and size H is a DC 80+ or more. If you can't do a running jump, double the DC.

Standard uber charger build, for the most part.

He's got mobility to up his AC while charging, as an AoO could stop his charge before it completes. You're right, not sure why he'd use it if he's using Shock Trooper to dump AC into Power Attack, however.

May 11, 2011 9:08:22 Sorry, I've moved recently and haven't had my PC for awhile.
I hope it isn't too late to answer these questions but I will.

So first, this in an Arena char. There is no magic of any sort allowed, that is why I am not worried about casters as the first poster implied. Same reason why he has no magic items, sp/su abilities, alchemy, etc.
Also the +2 dastana bracer comes from it being adamantium. Despite what I read in the books the DM assures me adamantium gives an additional +1 to a/c and tells me to add it on.

Second poster,
This is an arena champ, not a dungeon crasher.
Mobility was a pre-requisite for one of the feats and the extra AC helps if I have to do a standing jump in a threatened square.
Same thing as first poster, no magic, so no sleep.
You do make a great point about Instantaneous Rage, I thought it took a swift action so it is useless for arena combat, improved init would be better.

Third poster,
I can make the DC, not worried about anything larger than normal sized as they are not allowed in this arena battle.
Also my DC isn't doubled for standing jump due to leap of the heavens.
As for shock trooper thing, I don't care much for my AC if I can pump out enough dmg to 1-2 shot most of the chars in my turn of combat. Most of the chars my buddies have made don't have nearly as much HP as this one. (we decided upon 80% of max instead of rolling w/max lvl 1 hp)

Soo, anyone else know anything I could replace Instantaneous Rage with short of improved initiative?
Or got some suggestions?

May 12, 2011 12:18:00 Instead of Instantaneous Rage, how about Power Lunge? More damage, more better

I <3 you, never even saw that feat. That is great!
Definately a replacement for Instant Rage..was almost about to choose legendary leaper over it.
