Use the Shock Trooper feat, Heedless Charge tactic to modify you Power Attack, moving the penalty from your attack roll to your AC. Your mouned lance charge will be at +19 attack, 2d8 + 60 damage. Use your greatsword for close-up work, with +19 attack, 2d6 + 12 damage, modified by 2x Power Attack. Lean on your party's cleric or wizard for Greater Magic Weapon spells to buff up your sword and Magic Vestment spells to buff up your shield and armor (which you don't really need, but you'll feel more comfortable, I'd guess).When you get some more cash, buy an Amulet of Health, upgrading it as you get more cash. Save some up for a Belt of Giant Strength +4. (Don't bother with Gauntlets of Ogre Power; you'll just end up leaving them behind or selling them for half price as you buy the Belt.) You'll hack. You'll slash. You'll inflict incredible amounts of damage -- even more when you pick up Spirited Charge next level. You'll have a ton of hit points (about 136), but because of the Ride-by Attack, creatures will rarely get a chance to hit you. When they kill your Ebony Fly, grab the statuette with your knees, put it away, then charge on foot.I'd take this guy against a flind or minotaur any day.</blockquote>
