Max out UMD. UMD = 19 (assuming +1 Cha)Feats: Spirited Charge, Power attack. WF, GWF, WS, GWSMountItems: 1 wand of True Strike. (cost: 750)+2 Heavy Lance (8,310)+2 Gauntlets of Ogre Power (4,000)Inital Str 15.  Current 18 (20).Bab = +14. Lance +2 Str +5 Charge +2 Feats +2= +25 +20 for True Strike = +45.Yay! +45 >> +29  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Of course, more realistically, +31 will do fine to hit nearly all the time (particuarly since, unlike your Wiz, we're spending a standard action to get this bonus). This gives damage of:+2 lance +28 Power attack +5 Str +4 feats +1d8 (base) * 3 = 3d8 + 117. Every other round. Far worse than your Wiz for damage, unless it both has total concealment (which your Wiz dosen't defeat for some reason), and a rather high DR for CR 15 (say 20/-). Your Wiz would need to actually cast spells to do more damage then.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Frankly (other than HP), I don't think this is as good of a build as your Wiz. Yes, with tweaking I could do marginally better. If I left core, I could do better eoungh to be competative with your build. See the True Strike thread for a non-core build.</blockquote>
