[QUOTE="Ebony Dragon, post: 5893875, member: 4899"] I would probably rate it more like 1) melee controlling ability 2) accuracy 3) skills 4) damage 5) resilience (I'm guessing this means saving throws?) 6) AC I figure full plate armor with armor training is enough for AC, don't really need to spend any more character resources on it than that. I mainly like the crit theme not for the damage so much as the feats that let you stagger/stun and trip on crits. That seems like a nice trick for high level fighters to get into so they can contribute more to a fight than just DPS. On another note, looking through the feats I came across [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/pin-down-combat]Pin Down[/url]. Isn't that ridiculous when used with a reach weapon? Lets say the opponent charges my reach weapon fighter with his greatsword which provokes an AOO on the way in so we both trade blows. On the next round I take a 5' step and full attack him. On his turn he wants to 5' in and full attack me back, but since I still threaten him that 5' attempt provokes an AOO due to Pin Down, which if it hits stops him from taking that move this round. Am I reading something about this wrong or does this feat just wreck opponents who don't have reach themselves? Though I suppose if said opponent also had the Pin Down feat he could stop my character from backing up again in the first place. Just seems like a fantastic feat all around. [/QUOTE]
