So know I been posting a lot lately lol but I don't like the the current titan mauler archetype for barbs
In my mind I think fighter would work better (more of a tactical way they learned to kill the bigger buddies)
So things wanted on it is.
A can actually wield weapons of a larger category (read bunch of titan mauler threads that said it doesn't work like that but I thought they had a power lvl 3 I thinkin was)
Extra damage against bigger creatures
And other goodies
But no rare seeing as it will be fighter not barb
Is this too ridiculous of an idea?
Can anyone advice on what to add (as most of you guess for a one on one campaign so not worried about being too broken)

Replace weapon training with
Iron Grip: The fighter may use weapons one size catagory larger than normal, ie a large greatsword, and reduces panalties for using them by 2. The size bonus and penalty reduction increases with every new iron grip. Replaces weapon training 1 2 3 4.
Bravery replaced with Giant Slayer: +1 to hit and +1 damage vs creatures large size and up. Increases when bravery increases

You may want some way of minimizing the reach they will have, or a defense against it. Even with reach weapons you are still going to eat AOO to close with them.
perhaps,
Tough Target: At 3rd level the fighter gains a +3 dodge bonus against AOO from creatures of Large size or greater. This bonus increases by +2 at 7th, 11th and 15th. This replaces Armor training.

remember don't put anything as large size or greater, put "is x categories larger than you or greater". gotta let them small creatures take on those "normal" sized people.
you must specifically state that you can wield a weapon as if you were x categories larger for you to be able to wield large two-handers. the titan maulers fault is that it only reduces penalties but doesn't stop the shift in weapon wielding(large one-handers are wielded as two-handers by medium creatures).

Giant slaying feat...
Big Game Hunter. It is weapon focus and specialization for fighting larger creatures. Its a winfeat for sure.
Getting a bane weapon is always a good step in the right direction.
If you want to be a douche you could grab a large +1 impact giant bane weapon made of adamantine. Laugh your ass off as you get enlarged and bring the pain.
