[QUOTE="ruleslawyer, post: 3681099, member: 1757"] I would cross-post this to the IH boards if I were you; IH posting here is pretty dead. Having no defense is only a big deal if you face foes that use Power Attack. Against them, you're going to have a hard time; if the frost giant fighting you can power attack at -9/+18, then your DR and hp are going to be run through really fast. That said, I don't think it's that big a deal at low levels. Expect the DM to use attack challenges and Power Attack against you all the time, and expect to get targeted by all the monsters... a lot. Given your character concept, this is an advantage of sorts, since you will likely be using vorpal hurricane over and over. One thing; I would limit yourself to 5-foot steps in combat, and I would *hide* if faced with a skilled archer. I would also highly consider taking a level or two of berserker if you're going with this concept (preferably for 2nd level so that your skill groups can be maxed before you go 'zerk), because you WILL get hit, and getting an extra 10 feet of movement or a +2 to Str and Con would be a nice bonus.
