Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marius Delphus" data-source="post: 3258056" data-attributes="member: 447">All of which only points up that either (1) not even a fighter really has enough feat slots, or (2) the number of feats available makes customizing your character a real "pleasure." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />A couple other notes from the player about this particular character that might be relevant. The character's been a single-classed fighter since 1982 and "always will be," so no "funny business with multiclassing" (as interesting as I think the monk levels idea might be). We both totally blanked on the Critical feats from ELH, but they definitely make the cut. I also got read the riot act for forgetting Great Cleave; even though I think it's not really useful against high-CR foes, I'm reminded that this character is also supposed to singlehandedly rout lower-CR minion mobs. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The character needs to eke a couple more points of DEX out of his equipment to power AoOs (good thing he knows a couple epic spellcasters that might agree to help him out on that score), but I think we're on to something that's full of fun-to-play clobber potential with this build. Maybe not the height of min-max but still something that wades into battle in full plate and does a crazy amount of damage with a big honkin' sword.Thanks again for your comments folks, and keep 'em coming if you think I need to consider something else. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'll also be back with an archer thread as soon as I finish plumbing my books and deciding what sort of feats Legolas's *instructor* might have had. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />1.
