[QUOTE="Angerland, post: 3178411, member: 32518"] ok, to show that I have been thinking of this: The soldier type I was going for is loosley based of the Dopplesoldat from Landsknect armies. These soldiers were usually the biggest and strongest and carried the two handed swords. they also were tasked with defending against the long pikes the Swiss and other Landsknechts carried, using their huge swords to lop of the sharp heads of incoming pole arms. Because they were also usually veterans and very good fighters they also recieved twice the pay of the average soldier thus the "Dopple" portion fo their name. Armor wise this would be medium to heavy armor The Heavy Flail is there to use when the Great Sword wont work, ie things that are only affected by bludgeoning weapons, or when trip attacks in conjunction with our barbarisan fighter type will come into play. Of course I would use a ranged weapon as well, most likely a bow so I can strength adjust and fire off many shots with my # of attacks. Reach weapons the same thing, if I find that I need them I will buy one in town and get to stomping... only the books listed in the first post are the books allowed, please. Would it help if I posted the feats i was interested in and you could help me get them in the right order? I will do that, NOTE: there are more feats that I like than a fighter can take through 20 levels so I need your help picking them and ordering them well. Power attack, WF (Great Sword), Cleave, Dodge, Great Cleave, Combat Reflexes, Combat expertise (need Int 13), Melee Mastery (slashing), Weapon Spec (Greatsword), Improved Crit, Improved Trip, Improved Sunder, Improved Bull Rush, Combat Brute, Shock Trooper, Power Crit...maybe a few shooting feats to keep rounded...Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Imp Rapid Shot...ok I think that is most of them.
