[QUOTE="satori01, post: 2929688, member: 7859"] I have been toying with this concept for a long time. It is somewhat inspired by Gimli in the LOTR movies. If you ever noticied Gimil in the movies,(or at least the minatures), carries a huge amount of axes. He has a double headed Great Axe, a Single Headed "Walking stick" Axe, and numerous Hand and Throwing Axes. I want this Axe Master to be in the same vein, having and using Throwing, Dwarven War, Great, and a axe with reach,(or just a Glaive). Featwise I came up with this progression. Thoughts on how to optimize it are much welcomed. Level Feats ________________________________________________________ 1 [B]Axe Focus Two Weapon Fighting[/B] (Dwarf Fighter Substitution Level) 2 [B] Shielded Axe Style[/B] (Houseruled to work w/ any axe) (Feat acts like Improved Buckler Defense, only w/ 2 axes) 3 [B]Power Attack[/B] ________________________________________________________ 4 [B]Weapon Specialization[/B] (Dwarven War Axe) 6 [B]Oversize Two Weapon Fighting Quickdraw[/B] 8 [B]Melee Weapon Mastery[/B] (slashing) 9 [B]Ranged Weapon Mastery[/B] (slashing) ________________________________________________________ 10 [B]Greater Weapon Focus [/B](Dwarven War Axe) 12 [B]Two Weapon Rend Greater Weapon Spec [/B](DWA) 14 [B]Shield Specialization[/B] (buckler) 15 [B]Shield Ward[/B] ____________________________________________________________ 16 ???????????? 18 [B]Weapon Supremacy[/B] 20 ????????? _________________________________________________________ So by 8th Level this character is +3 to hit with any axe in Melee, and +4 damage with a War Axe from Feats Alone. At 9th level level He can throw a Throwing Axe 30', or any slashing ranged weapon. At 12th level This character is +4 to hit +6 Damage with War Axes, and +3 to hit and +2 damage to any other Axe. More than likely this character is Throwing Axes or Attacking with a reach weapon as they slowly close with an enemy, and then Two Weapon fighting with a Dwarven Great Axe in each hand, hopefuly adding some Rend damage here and there. Any thoughts on what should be changed, or what should be added? [/QUOTE]
