[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 2937765, member: 752"] It's a good, solid build. Some comments: - The character isn't proficient with heavy armor. Use darkleaf (A&EG or ECS) armor instead, to make it medium armor. - I'm one of those who'd "debate" allowing the use of Leap Attack on all the attacks at the end of the charge. However, if you can trick a DM into allowing all those attacks as "charge attacks" you can do som truly sick damage. List of "charge-boosters": [url]http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2903115&postcount=36[/url] . (Most aren't applicable to pounce/natural weapons, but some are.) - I don't think you'd have to put your gear on several times a day. You can use the [I]wild shape[/I] ability in cave troll form. - Technically, [I]haste[/I] doesn't work with natural weapons. [I]"[A] hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon [U]he is holding[/U]".[/I] (I'd allow it though, and so would most DMs I think.) However, why not use a weapon? As written, Leap Attack triples the extra damage from power attack (12x3), making the first attack very impressive. (The first [I]two[/I] attacks with your interpretation of Leap Attack.) It's probably better even if you "just" use 12x2 from Leap Attack. - Other spells worth noting: [I]Girallon's blessing[/I] (SC, 3rd) - even if the DM doesn't allow two rend attacks (I wouldn't) and lowers your regular cave troll claw damage, it will help your overall damage.[I] Charge of the triceratops[/I] (SC, 3rd) adds yet another natural attack, if you have a 3rd level spell to spare and the time to cast it. [I]Lion's Charge [/I](SC, 3rd) lets you pounce in any form (handy if you want to change your perferred form to war troll later.) [/QUOTE]
