Mark Dyer, yours is a varation of: Falchion Fred, human fighter 10 from three and half years ago. ...the second build in the thread.

It would be interesting to see a new thread with a 20 point buy using FPS legal characters, but that's just to my taste. Otherwise, we'd see a flood of synthesist summoners, and vivisectionist alchemists, something Gunslinger with advanced weapons, etc.

Shoot, a study of just archers DPR compared: Fighter, Monk, Pally and Ranger, etc. would be a great read.

A MAJOR variation to the Falchion Fred build that is much deadlier and much higher DPR.

This is also the only build to bring in Tripping Strike.

The build is FPS legal as well; just need to add 5 more pts for 20pt buy and it would be even MORE overpowered.

Thanks for looking.

Tripping Falchion Weapons Master Fighter archetype.

Ways to Fight:

*DPR ~ 140+ (reroll miss chance/crit confirmation not calculated in)
A. Start with trip maneuver using Falchion(Trip CMB 25 for 95% success vs avg. 85% chance vs 29 CMD)
B. AoO with no penalty to power attack. (Furious Focus)
C. 2nd Attack vs prone. -4 AC, no Dex bonus (assumed avg -1 ac).
D. 3rd Attack (AoO vs prone when they stand.)

*DPR ~ Unknown (too complicated for me)
A. Attack normally no penalty to power attack.
If Crit, Trip attempt from Tripping Attack, If Trip then AoO
B 2nd Attack. (it's 3rd attack if vs. Prone after tripped AoO).
If Crit, not prone, Trip attempt.
