[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4798668, member: 7635"] A level 14 fighter... Looks like less BIG 6. I see a magic weapon (1), armor (2), and ring (3). Of course, I don't know what a "belt of physical perfection +2" is, but if ends up a "belt of Str +2 with extras", then all this guy is missing in the cloak of resistance. Speaking of which... WILL +3 Save?!?!?!?! Sigh. Welcome back, Mr. Dominated Fighter. Hope you enjoy beating the crap out of your fellow teammates. Hmmm. 6 attacks/round and a potential 120 damage (before crits, but the average is like 60), Still, if he's fighting a MM [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/giant.htm#stormGiant"]storm giant[/URL] he easily could take out over 1/3 his hp in one full attack with a few good roles and crits. Of course, that giant it still going to hit him more often than not (+26/+21/+16 vs AC 28). Similarly, the fighter is going to crack his 27 AC easily on the first (4/7), adequately on second (9/12) and barely on the third (14/17). Ah, flurry of misses! Least we can power attack for maj... oh wait. The giant? Well, when those hits hit (and they will more than the fighters) he's going to do 25-45 damage per hit (before crits) or in one full attack back, he'll bring that 137 hp fighter down between half-hp and and nearly dead. Hows that hp boost working for ya? Oh, and I was comparing against a CR 13. So, while the fighter is even more stacked to ginzu through low AC foes before they can pose much of a threat, he's still poor at avoiding a hit (and soaking the damage) and still poor against those mind-magic wielders. Least he won't run in fear though! Color me a bit more unimpressed. Unless there is something absolutely awesome in those feats I'm missing, he's really not that much better off than our 3.5 fighter.
