[QUOTE="Krystoff, post: 38019, member: 1666"] [b]Quintessential Smackdown[/b] From what I could tell from reading the Quintessential Fighters handbook there are a couple of things in there that could be extremely nasty. First, use a 2 handed greatsword for this to work. At 7th level pick up the Prestige Class - Living Blade. If I remember correctly (Dont have the book in front of me) the Pre-Reqs are +7 BAB, Weapon Focus (Slashing Weapon), Weapon Spec(Slashing Weapon) The third level ability of the PC is that you are able to take away an opponents lowest BAB attack if you are in melee with them as long as you give up your lowest BAB attack. The fifth level ability is that you get an extra attack at your lowest BAB. Then, as Crothian suggested, pick up the fighting style of Orask. This basically costs nothing except finding a master and having them teach you for a couple weeks. There are Pre-Reqs for each of the different levels though (5 in all). Basically here you have to concentrate on any two-handed weapon. Since you have the 2 handed greatsword your in like flint. The rest of the Pre-Reqs are feats any fighter should have anyways. Stuff like Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Combat Reflexes. The nice thing about this fighting style is that with the 4th rank, it says you can make an immediatte Attack of Opportunity against anyone that has damaged you in melee combat. The other ranks give you cool stuff as well but not as cool as that. Plus there are several other Feats that just make fighters disgustingly bad melee fighters. Pick up the book (If your DM allows it) They made fighters into amazing combat monsters even though they were already. [/QUOTE]
