Message: <blockquote data-quote="Victim" data-source="post: 3045556" data-attributes="member: 78">Just plugging a level 18 fighter using a +5 flaming (or whatever) Greatsword with 28 STR (half orc, 16 base, +6 Belt, and +4 from levels) with Greater Spec (and the requirements) and Improved Critical shows about 140-135 (depending on whether or not optimal PA is used) damage per full attack against AC 35 while hasted.  It'd be easy to do better with non core stuff, barbarian levels, an inherent STR bonus, etc.  Switching out for 4 barbarian levels for rage and using Slashing weapon mastery and Slashing Flurry from PHB2 pumped damage up to 196.Forty points vs 140.  The difference between our numbers probably explains all the different opinions about fighters.  Of course, plugging pawsplay's numbers into my spreadsheet shows that his longsword fighter did about 80 damage per full attack without power attacking (although it also has greater focus and spec).  Power Attacking isn't so great for 1 handed weapons, especially on full attacks.If the warblade never learned to deal with invisible and/or flying creatures, then how'd he get to be 18th level?</blockquote>
