My Dwarven Fighter/Barbarian 4/4 will soon get his 5th lvl of Barbarian and a feat... see if my logic isnt flawed.
I reasoned that since I make good damage and hitting power already... that dedicating more feats to combat stuff will only make me do more of what I already am good at... Impr Critical for example gives me more damage potential... but having a Great Axe +2 and Raging already do that.
I was reasoning that I should use my feat to protect myself from being totally made useless in combat and not make more damage. What takes a Barbarian Fighter out most ? Spells and Impr Grab was my answer ... am I wrong ?
Iron Will will make my bad Will save go only +2 better thou... Close Quarter Combat (you get AOO against Impr Grab and damage counts to escape check) thou almost guarantees getting away from Improved Grabbing Bites and Swallows. The Cleric usually can use a Dispel Magic to get my unparalyzed or uncharmed... but no magic can save me from a Big Beast Belly...
How common has Impr Grab been a problem for your PCs ? Will it be so infrequent as too be useless ? Or is it a life saver ? Even with a raging +6 str its very hard to get rid of grapples... At 9th lvl is it the best choice for me... or will thos +2 Will get me rid of many more spells ?
Any other non FR feats I should have a look at ? What feats have your Fighter Types chosen at higher levels ?

Thank You for any Input...
