[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5040486, member: 59057"] Really, you have to work as fighter not to do very high damage if you equip a fullblade. I would multiclass into barbarian and take a rage with power swap as sonn as possible. I really would not make an 20/16 fighter as you want some constitution but also 15 dex by level 11. (scale mail specialization and HBO) also you want some wisdom for extra damage with opportunity attacks. So the preferred spread would be 16/13/14/8/14/10 if you need to be your own defender (you can actually switch 14s and 13 because you will surely raise more than one of those when you level up... but IMHO this is the best starting point... or if you have a secondary defender: 18/10/13/8/13/10 with bumps to str/dex and str/con at 4 and 8) Fullblade would be my first feat. Greatweapon fighter. Reaping strike and cleave (brash strike with a blade is worse than reaping strike) Intend is multiclass into barbarian by level 8 and getting adept power at level 10 to get a nice rage. Maybe take a barbarian paragon path or one of those heavy hitting fighter paths (pit fighter with first spread and bumped wis or kensai). Maybe you can also go the barbarian paragon multiclass route for a a nice at will and another rage... but most surely the kensai benefits are better... [/QUOTE]
