the chain reaction :


Advice


now at level 8 fighter, i find more and more my love for attacking only once.
but, not just once, once with a chain reaction...

what more can i add to this : snap shot of a level 12 character:

move to the opponent, using acrobatics if needed (via trait) to enter flank and get +2 to hit.
using a great sword, attack once with vital strike and power attack (furious focus) :
6d6+ 9 (str) + 12 (power att) +2 (weapon train) +2 (gloves of dueling) + 2 (magic) = 6d6+ 27 (avg=48)

dazzling attack make the opponent save or be dazzled.

the attack is made wither as non lethal or with power attack to activate free action of intimidate (enforcer)

since i attacked only once, swift action is made to trip the opponent (if possible)

since i have greater trip, the opponent provokes, i use the quick dirty trick for the AOO (with prone+shaken bonus)

so... 1 attack only... if all goes well you do some damage and shaken and dazzle and prone and blind in a single round... all in full BAB...

1. what else can be added? (was thinking on 3 levels of thug...)
2. please make sure all is in order.


Take 5 levels of Rogue or Ninja and the Sap Adept, Sap Master and Bludgeoner feats. Then switch from a greatsword to a earthbreaker and crush things for justice.

Just my 2 cp

Sovereign Court

I'd look for some sneak attack damage from classes to get more damage on a flank. And then, start building for crits? Improved critical, etc. so that you can up your critical chance and then have all kinds of extra abilities on that crit.


Sneak attack means lower bab and less feats, and I am a bit feat starved ;)
Any more feats can enter this chain ?
