Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 5567825" data-attributes="member: 6669384">He worships at the feet of melee types?  Run a Feral Half-Orc Barbarian.  Even though it sounds like the fighters in the game are from Basic D&D, in terms of smart design (not even "optimization").Great Axe w/Improved Crit, and then run up the power attack feat tree.  Go Barb1/Ftr3 withthe +1ECL from the feat.  You can take more Barb levels if you like but FTR3 is a prerequisite for one of the weapon feats you want.You get fast battlefield movement, huge damage, and fast healing, Rage, good saves at 1st level, a good number of skills despite the INT hit.  (Note:  You'll end up with 1 skill point a level after creation, since FTR gets a base 2 and your INT is likely to be <=10, so make the most of that starting group.)Aside from the Feral template, it's pure PHB, and you can sell the template by claiming it's for game color, to create a true wild man type.Note that this type of character isn't intended for the long run.  He's intended for shock value, to force your DM to actually read the rules and see if, someplace inside the books, he can find a clue.It will also help show the other fighter players what a real melee fighter looks like.At some point not long after your point has been made he'll probably ask you to retire the character, or just plain kill him by DM fiat.  He sounds like the type.When he does, ask if you can bring your Rogue back.  He'll seem positively reasonable by comparison. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
