Being able to throw your weapon and deal pretty much the same amount of damage every time (although only once/round) as you do in melee is very nice.  I recently ended a campaign playing a dwarven fighter with the ax of the dwarvish lords, and it was pretty scary how much damage he could deal every round to creatures 100' away from him.  The paladin became very jealous and much less anxious to charge into melee without me going in first.Also, another fun feat is leap attack, but that's for melee.  I think as a fighter you can take every feat that I've mentioned (I did), and more.Remember, it's great than you can deal out 60 points of damage with each blow...but what happens when you blow your will save and suddenly find your target of choice to be your ally, the wizard standing behind you?  Not good.Ok, now I have a question...is goliath a template that can be added to, say, a stone giant?  Or is it it's own race?  I have a stone giant hulking hurler that I want to throw at my group, and I'm curious about the goliath as a template add-on, or even an alternative to the stone giant...sorry for the slight hijack. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
