[QUOTE="Orcus Porkus, post: 4896388, member: 76022"] Or this guy. He can use Righteous Brand 5 squares away (Farslayer weapon) and gets 4 free uses of Righteous Brand per encounter through various items (usually, depending on whether the trigger happens). He also uses RB on all OA (+5 attack bonus) and Combat Challenge, which is really nice. All other fighters can just make a melee basic attack, this nasty dwarf makes the enemy pay even harder with a +4 bonus and Righteous Brand, to set the fool up for follow up attacks by an ally (+6 attack bonus). Since he needs heavy armor he can't abuse Bestial Armor or Feral Armor, but perhaps he should switch. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== level 14 Dwarf, Fighter|Cleric, Kensei Hybrid Talent: Combat Superiority Kensei Focus: Kensei Focus Execution axe FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 22, Con 17, Dex 11, Int 11, Wis 18, Cha 9.
