[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 88573, member: 170"] I'd stick with the normal greatsword. As you said, it would save you a feat, and you're much more likely to find a magical greatsword than a magical mercurial greatsword. Also, I'd recommend against waiting until 18th & 20th level to take Power Attack, Cleave, and Great Cleave. By then, you will be facing smaller numbers of more powerful creatures. Cleave and Great Cleave are better for low-mid levels, where you are fighting many, weaker enemies. You might consider taking one more level of Fighter before you take any levels of Weapon Master. Something like: 1 Ftr1: Dodge, Mobility, Power Attack 2 Ftr2: Cleave 3 Ftr3: Weapon Focus: Greatsword 4 Ftr4: Combat Reflexes 5 Ftr5 6 Ftr6: Great Cleave, Expertise 7 Ftr7: 8 Ftr8: Spring Attack 9 Ftr9: Whirlwind attack 10 WM1: Ki Damage 1/day/lvl 11 WM2: Increased Multiplier 1/day 12 WM3: Superior Weapon Focus, WEAPON SPECIALIZATION 13 WM4: Increased Multiplier 2/day 14 WM5: Superior Combat Reflexes 15 WM6: Increased Multiplier 3/day, IMPROVED CRITICAL 16 WM7: Ki Critical 17 WM8: Increased Multiplier 4/day 18 WM9: Ki Whirlwind Attack, POWER CRITICAL 19 WM10: Increased Multiplier 5/day 20 Ftr10: Toughness ( :D ) [/QUOTE]
