[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 658593, member: 913"] If you're building an Epic Fighter, some of the feats that are crucial are: Power Critical (automatic threat 1/day) Dire Charge (full attack on a charge) Power Attack (get the most for your attack bonus) Epic Prowess (boost that attack bonus) *Penetrate Damage Reduction (crucial. Epic DR's get tough fast, and +7 or +8 weapons are expensive) Combat Reflexes and Hold the Line (from Sword and Fist) are also very nice, allowing you an Attack of Opportunity if an opponent charges you. I would also take Quickdraw, which makes it more likely for you to get a full attack. As far as damage goes, you should be able to reliably do about 100 damage/round or more. If you stick with a straight fighter, you can have plenty of feats to throw around, allowing things like Expertise and Improved Trip. Also, don't overlook Blind-Fighting. True Seeing doesn't penetrate all types of concealment, especially concealment from weather, fog, and similar circumstances. Also, make sure that your weapon is a Ghost Touch weapon. You want to eliminate as many possible defenses as you can, and Incorporeality is a big one. I made a 30th level Epic Fighter for a one-shot campaign. He fought with a +5 Ghost Touch Keen Icy Burst scythe, had a strength of about 38. For feats he had: Penetrate DRx2 Epic Prowess x3 Power Critical Dire Charge and various others, too numerous to list. His attack was roughly +50/+45/+40/+35 with a critical of 18-20/x4, damage was around 2d4+30+1d6 (avg 38), or on a critical 8d4+120+1d6+3d10 (avg 160). Those bonuses ignore any morale, luck, insight or other bonuses you might get from other places. He could ignore DR of up to x/+9, had Blind-Fight, and had the ability to fly. A helmet providing Mind Blank 1/day protected him from charms. I didn't get a chance to play him more than 1 session, but I certainly think he would have been able to hold his own. Anyway, hopefully this has given you some ideas. [/QUOTE]
