[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 5458150, member: 97602"] What race are you, and did you use the Barbarian Whirling Frenzy variant? [sblock] 1 Barbarian - Lion Totem alt. class feature, Destructive Rage feat 1 Fighter - Power Attack 2 Fighter - Cleave, Exotic Weapon Prof. Spiked Chain 3 Fighter - 4 Fighter - Headlong Rush 1 Berserk - Leap Attack 1 Psy Warrior - Pick Expansion Next 10 levels Frenzied Berserker - Battle Jump, Imp. Sunder, Combat Brute Top it off with something like Warshaper or Bear Warrior. Typical first round of combat is Charging -> Leap Attack with a Spiked Chain or another reach weapon of your choice (you'd need Imp. Unarmed for a different reach weapon, though). Lion Totem gets you Pounce, which allows you to full attack at the end of a charge. Power Attack as much as you can sacrifice. If you choose to use a different Reach weapon, make sure to pick up a Large one, instead of a Medium sized one. The extra reach when you use Expansion is just hilarious (20'-30' around you is threatened, so you get those delicious attacks of opportunity). For a slightly different build strategy, drop the charging (Leap Attack, Headlong Rush, Battle Jump) for the Whirlwind chain, and just Whirlwind every round. Spiked Chain allows you to trip attempt anything you hit with Whirlwind, which is everything in a 30' radius, at your full base attack bonus.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
