If you pick up Toughness and Troll-Blooded at level 1 with your flaws you'll be nigh unkillable except for fire and acid, although the regeneration rate isn't really high since it stays at 1 hp/round.
Maybe there are some other ways to obtain fast healing or something similar?
Maybe you can find some options in the SurrealDex assuming 339 is up and running...

Maybe going into a ToB class after those levels?  Warblade synergizes well with fighter, while Swordsage gets you lots of control and movement options, and crusader is always solid.

Also, be sure to check out the 2 PrC's in Dungeonscape for your next characters - they are both quite cool =)

There is, but it takes a 5 level dip and loses 2 points of BAB. Not to mention some very shity Psionic Power options. But hey, FH is FH.

If you can get into Warhulk, that's always fun.

That's all in the future, thought, except for the troll-blooded thing. I don't even know what to do right now. (level 12) Are there any staple items for this?

I'm currently playing one of these. Difference is that I've avoided grabbing the (utterly awesome) one level dip into barbarian for pounce + whirling frenzy since this game is really just a level 2 on the optimization scale. I've instead substituted a houseruled template giving powerful build, +2 STR, +2 CON for +1 LA - which then opens doors into the knockback feat.

I'm going to second warblade for filling out the later levels. ToB does wonders for melee fighter versatility.
Shh. My common sense is tingling. . .

Mmh, speaking of ToB, Crusader might help somewhat with in-combat healing, and it's a great class regardless :)

I edited the original post. Some things have changed, some things haven't. Sorry to rez a dead thread, but I really want help on this. I have 88,000g to spend and two more feats to use. I looked at Life Drinker (DMG) and thought it was funny. I don't believe that fast healing or regeneration work with Warforged, which was what some of these posts were suggesting. I do, however, think that it will work NOW that I'm an Incarnate Construct and the Warforged Special Qualities were removed, and the Warforged Juggernaut Healing Immunity works differently. But I don't think it's very good, at least not if I can use the Craft skill to heal myself every round outside of combat.

Also, on page 270 of the Eberron Campaign Setting, what does it mean by "status effect" on the table of Docent Powers?

You've taken the power attack feat twice, and there's no Lion Totem Barbarian.

Also, Mineral Warrior and Half-Minotaur are inherited templates, and thus must be applied before the acquired template that is Incarnate Construct.

That means your base creature will not work.

If it was house-ruled in, however, the large size boost from Half-Minotaur would let you get into Warhulk for awesomeness.

There is: Complete Champion p46: "Lion Totem: Regal and intimidating, the powerful lion is a symbol of nobility among the races of the wild. By selecting him as your spiritual totem, you gain the pounce ability
(MM 313)."

Are you sure? can't these templates be inhereted after the acquired template? never seen this reasoning before...

He meant that it wasn't in the build, not that it didn't exist.

Yes he is sure. No they can't. Inherited templates must be placed on a creature before acquired templates. It's one of the rules involved with stacking templates.

I'm not really that into boosting STR. Honestly, if I actually play this, I will have slightly lower stength, because I don't want to over-do it to the point where my party notices that it takes all of them attacking/casting to do the same amount of damage I deal in a round.

Damn me and my stupid logic. I was thinking a Mineral Warrior Minotaur and an Incarnate Construct Warforged (that sprouted a penis after losing its, now his, contructivenessss) got together, their parts worked out, and they made this thing. So Incarnate Construct is an acquired template and stops with the creature that acquired it and CANNOT be passed on genetically? I was honestly just trying to get into using the Knockback feat while still being a Warforged because I like the Juggernaut class abilities. This was the first way I noticed that I could become large:
Warforged -> Incarnate Construct -> Half-Minotaur = Large Warforged

If you can talk your DM into it, my suggestion would be to allow the Maug (Fiend Folio) to qualify for Warforged Juggernaut. An Incarnate Maug would get some mean stat bonuses at the cost of 2 racial giant HD and a +1 LA (which can be bought off).
The cake is a lie.

It doesn't unless you can make the warforged stop being a construct, which was what the Incarnate Construct template from Savage Species was doing for this build. But, I've traded high hopes for a cool PC in for expanded knowledge and now know that it doesn't work and why. Thanks, by the way, aftercrescent.

Warforged Charger (MM3) would get the Large Warforged bit down, although the cost may be too steep.
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

I'd never given Sang a good look. Ouch. Pick only the powers on it's list. Lemme say ouch again.
A recharge setup + empathic transfer makes this whole class unnecessary.
So, playing it in a non recharge game ... I could see the powers selection being the equivalent of the 6 different Psion subclasses. Maybe deep down, that's what was intended. Down 2 feats and a full ML, but getting stuff in return, is OK.
Same thing, but with the restricted power selection, is like Metamind-y; and that's not good at all.

tangent - I clicked your link, and I got a screen style I'd never seen before. Are they ~archiving wizards.com stuff too ??

Which is why the class isn't good IMO, but if you really need the FH, it may be worth becoming the party's Psionic Healer for 5 levels. It doesn't stop EK, which is nice, but you are correct about the power restrictions being a nightmare.
