[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5861671, member: 19675"] Random thoughts: 1) Battle Sorcerer class (Unearthed Arcana or SRD) will get you the ability to cast Enlarge on yourself. (Or you can use potions or other magic to get that size buff.) In addition, you can use Arcane Strike to burn spell slots for additional damage. Downside: unless you take Battle Caster feat, the best armor you can wear (and still cast, no ASF for Arcane Strike or Stilled spells) is light. With BC, you'd be able to wear Mithril Plate (medium armor). 2) Most optimizers won't use 'em, but I've had a great deal of fun using Oversized Weapons (via Monkey Grip or Powerful Build) and weapons made of magically tempered Gold or Platinum (special materials & required Heavy Weapon feat from Magic of Faerun). 3) Barbarians are usually the top 2Hd weapon users for damage output. 4) Shou Disciple (Unapproachable East) is a monk-like PrCl open to any PC meeting the prereqs- it grants armored Flurry of Blows with a broad array of weapons. Again, not an optimizer's thing, but fun. 5) IME, high-Dex PCs with high-damage reach weapons (like the Greatspear) and built to take advantage of AoOs can have a DPR similar to Barbarians in combats [I]in which they can reasonably force AoOs.[/I] [/QUOTE]
