Hi All,
am trying to come up with a build for a fighter class which has good reach, and can take a few hits easily too.
We are about to enter an arena in a team of 2 to fight other NPC teams of 2. So I am picturing a build that increases my threatened squares, has a good AC, and is reasonably mobile.
I am thinking something like a Phalanx Soldier (still reading up on that class at the moment)
Using a 25 point buy
Starting Level 3rd.
all advice appreciated.
Basically, start with a reach weapon and get Combat Reflexes and/or Uncanny Dodge. You can use trip at reach without Improved Trip (but improved trip is still nice for a reach/battlefield control build).
2 levels of barbarian will get you Uncanny Dodge and +10 to your movement
1 level of Brawler will let you learn feats as a move action and qualify for combat maneuvers without an int of 13.
