[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 6509627, member: 61501"] It's only +1 Str as HAM comes with +1 str, though I agree it is a marginal feat & the one I would drop. I would be variant human & take Polearm mastery at level 1. This is because the extra attacks it grants are more useful early before you get 2 inherent attacks. At level 4 & 6 I would take a STR bump & either Sentinel if I wanted to be controlly or GW mastery if I want more damage!!! (either order) At level 8 you have the choice of either a stat bump or the missing feat as the next option comes in 4 levels so it's big gap. I would probably live with an 18 at this point as I find I rarely notice +1, while +2 missing always seems really obvious. The last 3 feats are pretty open - feats or stat (probably con) boost. Resilient would be a good feat - probably WIS. A none human has to choose to be slightly behind the ability curve or lack either control or massive DPS. But you can see in the dark [/QUOTE]
