The lizardfolk brawler build


Advice

Grand Lodge

Looking to maximize my potential with this character. I am already 2nd, but am fuzzy as to where to take it. I am a variant LE lizardfolk (Unseen, no hold breath or swim, +10 stealth) in a custom E6 vaguely pirate themed campaign.

Build:
Str 18 Dex 12 Con 14 Int 10 Wis 12 Cha 12
1:(Unarmed Fighter)Dragon Style, Improved Unarmed Strike, Weapon Focus
2:(Unarmed Fighter)Feral Combat Training
3:(Unarmed Fighter)Power Attack
4:(Unarmed Fighter)ability? Weapon Specialization
5:(Master of Many Styles)Stunning Fist, Tiger Style, Tiger Pounce
6:(Unarmed Fighter)?

Advice?


You've got weapon focus claws and feral combat claws, so using dragon style with natural weapon claws is working.
I would probably got to master of many styles at third level and take the next dragon feat instead of power attack.
Power attack is giving you -1 to hit and +2 damage at this level.
2nd feat of dragon would give you 1 1/2 x str bonus for each (full bab) claw, so it would actually add more damage at no minus to hit.
Get power attack later, gaining more damage from it since your claws would be at the two handed damage equivalent.

Well, power attack will still give me 1 to 3 to my first claw. I like the idea of power attacking at no penalty to hit, that is why I considered Tiger Pounce. Dragon ferocity is good, and I figured I would stick to natural attacks, as adding the unarmed strike would do more harm than good. Are there any "must haves" as far a gear goes?

No more advice?


I think you should take the grappling feat line to make use of your class-based DR.

What weapon(s), natural or otherwise, do you have to attack with? If you're doing claw/claw/bite, not sure if weapon focus/specialization route is that beneficial, it's much better if using a single kind of attack.

Not much else to say, I guess.


Did you steal my Troglodyte build? if so I am so proud probably not though just a vague coin-kidink

I was there with the suggestions, remember? I already had this going and the idea to see another test it out first could not be missed. How has that worked out by the way?


Other than sickening the halfling.. The trogolyte build looks good to the others in the party. Crunch bits aside it adds some great flavor to the campaign.

The weapon focus is claws, and a prerequisite for feral combat training. Weapon specialization (claw) would apply to two attacks, so it seems worth it.

Necromancy! No, not really, this build is still in the works.


I'm also playing a lizardfolk brawler type - Boar Style for the 2d6 rend is nice.....

With Claw x 2 and Bite x 1, what happens when his BAB hits +6/+1 ? An extra claw at -5?

Grand Lodge

Nothing, natural attacks are not subject to iterative attack. When you attack with primary natural attacks, you use full BAB for all of them, but you only attack with them once.
