a Fezzik fighter

[Fifo]

I look at a few of the brawler types, bruiser, brutal pugilist, and wonder how they could fare at high levels. I don't see Fezzik using a +5 weapon or wearing mithral armor. throwing rocks or using ox yokes as weapons sounds neat, but in the long run, could you do enough damage without having a strength of 40 or survive? overcoming some heave DR seems impossible to me. I don't know the rules and all the bits and pieces of archtypes to know how to pull it off. Is it even possible? I can't see Fezzik ever using great axes or swords even, he's more a rock, club kind of guy with a lot of combat moves to boot. No combat expertise for him though with a subpar intelligence. he's no monk or unarmed fighter using monk weapons. any clues?

Brawler from the ACG would work. Very strong, and counts as having int 13 for feats without actually needing int.

What about an oracle of stone focusing on strength?

Throw Anything is an obvious choice, and Improved Improvised Weapon could make such a combat style fairly viable at lower levels (and a decent backup at higher levels).

I'd actually make him as a LG Tetori Monk. He's got some discipline and training, plus a grapple focus, after all. And never wears armor and has decent to high Wisdom.

Brawler is also an excellent choice if you just can't visualize a Monk without the Asian theme.

Fezzik doesn't strike me as all that orderly a person—he just does what others expect of him and tries to help people.

He always struck me as a very principled man. That's sufficient to be LG if you're principled and nice enough.

He did battle gangs for local charities.
