Feat selection for a two-handed weapon fighter

[JoeGKushner]

If the GM allows it, I think it's from both Feats by AEG and in Mongoose's Ultimate Feat Book, Two Handed Power Strike. It doubles your strength bonus instead of just 1.5.

Weapon Specialization, and some others, like Improved Sunder, will make you a weapon destroying machine.

Does Monkey Grip 3.5 and Powerful Build really stack? Their wording seems to imply otherwise...

And 3d6 scales to 4d6, IIRC

There are scarcely few feats, which can compete with Power Attack/Cleave and Combat Expertise/Improved Trip for a two-handed fighter.

The Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization standard feats are a given, anyways, as is Iron Will.

Combat Reflexes and Karmic Strike are also good to consider, if your AC is not overly high.

IIRC they do not stack.

What and where is Karmic Strike if I may ask?

Find a 9th level wizard and have him enlarge you permanently

Goliaths are not affected by Enlarge Person. I don't think it's an accident that both races with Powerful Build that I know of (Goliath and Half Giant) can't be enlarged with that spell.

Of course, there's always Expansion if you're a Psychic Warrior, but that's very cheesy.

Oh, hm. Saw some people make some builds and they stacked the two. Guess they got it wrong.

Complete Warrior.

IIRC, it gives you an AoO against anyone that hits you with a melee attack. Or something like that.

Why not? Page reference? I ask because I've used it for a half-giant psychic warrior and have allowed it to be used but didn't see anything that would necessarily get in the way of it.
