[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 5003873, member: 25696"] That depends on the build.... I've just completed a TWF Barbarian 1(Pounce)/Ranger 4/Scout 4/Tempest 1 build that, with a 40 foot charge, has a: AC of 23 attacks at +14/+14/+9/+9 and each attack does 5d6 damage. assuming all his attacks hit, that's 20d6 damage in one round, each round he can make that (at least 20') charge. That's a fair amount of damage output for a 10th lvl character. However, when I compare that to the Druid/Barbarian with his (augmented) strength of 22, full power attack, and greatclub, that (from memory) manages to do 1d10+56 damage (because of some nasty weapon augmentation from the spell compendium), what are we talking about? Two Weapon Fighters (compared to Two Handed Weapon fighers) get shafted big time because of the way strength bonuses are handled and Power Attack works. It [I]requires[/I] a build like this to make TWF work. And yes, Pounce at lvl 1 without having to further invest into barbarian may look kind of cheap. But you give up the (untyped) fast movement.
