Creating Reinhardt from Overwatch Advice


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

My son wanted me to try and duplicate Reinhardt from Overwatch and I've come up with the following:

Dwarf Fighter (Seigebreaker/Foehammer)

This covers the rocket charge and "Hammer Down" abilities. Seigebreaker allows for damaging bullrushes (and overruns) and Foehammer allows for striking the ground and knocking people prone (by 13th level). I was thinking of getting an Animated Shield to cover his shield, and maybe the body guard feats.

His primary weapon would be a Dwarven Long Hammer.

Stats

S- 16
D- 12
C- 18
I- 10
W- 12
Ch- 6

I'm looking for feat advice (and any other suggestions) past 7th (to 15th).

Feats

1st Power Attack
2nd Taken
3rd Improved Bullrush
4th Disruptive
5th Improved Overrun
6th Greater Overrun
7th Greater Bullrush

At 7th, the character can initiate a bull rush, which does (STR+2+armor enhancement bonus) damage. The bull rush also provokes from all of my allies. At the end of the bull rush he can attempt an overrun that does (STR+2+armor enhancement bonus) damage. The overrun , and can knock the opponent prone, which would provoke an attack of opportunity.

And, if the target is still standing, he'd get a free trip attempt (Hammer to the Ground Foehammer ability).

By 11th, he could do all this after a successful attack (as a standard action), as well as attempt to disorient the target:

Disorienting Blow (Ex)

At 8th level, as an immediate action, a siegebreaker can distract a foe he just hit with an attack or combat maneuver, imposing a –2 penalty on the foe's attack rolls, caster level checks, or skill checks for 1 round. The foe can negate this penalty with a successful Fortitude save (DC = 10 + 1/2 the siegebreaker's fighter level + his Strength modifier). At 14th level, the penalty increases to –4.

This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at 8th level.

Thoughts?


When I had a go at this character, I focused more on the shield. I used Phalanx Soldier fighter 3 to be able to have a polearm (lucerne hammer/dwarven longhammer) and a shield, and put the rest in Sacred Shield paladin.

Either way, get a Mithral Full plate of Speed.


More a flavor difference, but have you considered a Dual Talent human with the Racial Heritage feat? Dwarven build says more Torbjorn to me than the dragon slayer Wilhelm. ;)
