[QUOTE="tarkin, post: 366312, member: 2824"] Answers A) You do have a good point here, but not much of one. If concerned about dealing with high DR, get yourself a Ring of +5 Magic Fang. or similar item. Power Attack is a poor way to deal with that situation. B) Cleave and Great Cleave do have some uses, but are not that powerfull unless your DM insists on having you fight a hoard of weaker creatures. I would never go after them as my main feat trail. C) 90 combat rounds for 15 succesfull strikes. Wow. That was expertedly stated to make it sound 15 times worse than it really was. Lets try again 90/15 is the same as 6/1. Hm, To get Lightning Fists you have to be 4th level, then you would be getting 3 attacks at 6th, it takes you 6+ rounds. YES at the lowest possible level your ridiculous 90/15 claim is valid. When you hit 6th level, then you get an extra attack, so 5 rounds per hit. Somewhere between 6th and 10th you should afford Boots of Haste, making it 4 rounds per hit. By 10th you get 6 attacks per round, making it about 3 rounds before your hit. The strategy may not be the best in all cases, but it is far better than you seem to think, even if you roll your eyes. When going up against a high AC creature that you need a 18 or better to hit, it becoms a BRILLIANT strategy. [/QUOTE]
