Build Highlights:*Power Attack Goodness
*High Critical Hit Range
* Rage-like ability 5/day (+6 Str, +6 Con, +3 Will, -2 AC)
* Immune to fear, additional +4 vs Mind effecting
* Pounce!
* Self Haste 10 rounds/day
* Full Fighter BAB
* Good Fort/Will saves
* Steadfast Determination synergises will with rage-like ability.
* Up to 7th level manuevers
* Iajutsu Focus as a class skill!
The basic concept I was going for was using a high threat range weapon combined with power attack+leap attack+shocktrooper+pounce to general substantial damage. If you really want to make things I little more crazy add in Iajutsu Focus from Singh Rager for even more damage.
When I can't charge I use Iron Heart Surge and Wall of Blades to counter any status effect or to counteract my low AC after a charge.
Lastly, after I've closed the gap with a charge I use Finishing Move, Rapid Bear Strike, and Swooping Dragon Strike to do more reliable damage.
Steadfast Determination was chosen to reduce MAD and compliments the Singh Rangers good Fort & Will saves. In addition when I rage my Fort & Will gets a boost as well.
?I was interested on peoples thoughts, comments, advice, suggestions, or criticisms. Please help me be all I can be.
