Drill Sergeant / Mutation Warrior... need advice


Advice


Hey, I'm working on a character that is built specifically for a River Kingdoms / Tymon / Razmir campaign.
He's a half-orc, Drill Sergeant and Mutation Warrior being the archetypes used.

Weapon Masters Handbook is in full use for this campaign, as are a number of others, some stuff from the occult as well.

I'm looking for something flavorful and still effective in a campaign, and I'm wondering specifically about that fighting style in the weapon master's handbook, Orc Fury Style.

Being that we're going up against Razmiran and the armies of Razmir, I can imagine all sorts of Arcane casters masquerading as holy men will be available to fight. As well as other stuff.

Do people find Orc Fury style useful for both intimidating as well as getting a bonus against mages or anything shaken with an SLA? Would Orc Fury style still considered to be in effect if you use Dazzling Display as well? If so, that might make a group of spellcasters that less powerful against my big guy (actually, he's not that big, strong but more of a runt of the litter in size, hence the reliance on mutagens).

It's an awesome flavorful style, but it's an investment, even for a fighter.


I haven't really thought about Orc Style much, but since nobody is posting I'll just say that I'm underwhelmed at first glance. I mean, Cornugon Smash is a thing so...


In the same book there's a divine fighting feat for greatswords and vital striking, turning your damage into continuous damage. This forces all casters to make a concentration check which, given the dice rolled and bonuses of your fighter plus mutagen plus 2 handed could mean never getting that spell off, even after you've struck them.

I think that's a good way to help against a caster.
