[QUOTE="heliopolix, post: 1333564, member: 15956"] I am GMing a campain, in which one of my players managed to create a human fighter with an 17 dex & 16 str. He took the feats Exotic Wpn Proficiency(Spiked chain), Combat Expertise, and Improvd Trip. With his 10' threaten area, nothing could get close to him w/o getting tripped (because you can make a Trip Attack as an AoO), and once he reached 2nd level and took Combat Reflexes, he could hold his own by himself against pretty much anything I threw at the party. I tried using an ogre (CR 3) vs the three 2nd lvl characters, but the fighter simply had the cleric cast enlarge person on him, and layed "teh smackdown" on the ogre without the ogre getting close to him. The character has since died, so I can now bring the situation to these forums. I am aware that the combo is a legitamate one, yet I am pondering what CR1 creatures could face a 1st lvl fighter with the first three feats and provide a challenge. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
