If it were me I would play the build you have in the other thread with a great sword. It’s hard to solo if that’s something you find yourself having to do. The barbarian is easier to level, in comparison (even with a two hand weapon) in my experience. The PM does not really come online till late epics, where the barb is doing barb things from creation.

Also consider rogue 24/25 and the rest fighter. High strength. Full plate.

Clever? No. Optimal? Probably not. But it would do disgusting damage and be very useful with a buddy. There's nothing funnier than a massive, conspicuous metal clad target getting "sneak attacks" with a huge sword.

that sounds good. im not fussed if its not the strongest around.

Its for future play sessions as a good guy with my missus. no Palemaster for this one.

Cool! As a warning, this has not been playtested at all and I'm an idiot. You could try something like this:

Str 18 (20 with gift)
Dex 10
Con 14 ( 16 with gift)
Int 14
Wis 8
Cha 8

Make sure to get all the standard combat feats (expertise and improved expertise, weapon focus, improved critical, blind figjt) and include knockdown, possibly improved knockdown for sneak attacks. You may want cleave, great cleave and power attack so you'll have access to overwhelming critical in epics. Speaking of epics, epic weapon focus and epic prowess will help too. Maybe armor skin to compensate for your lower AC.

With the righter's bonus feats make sure you have weapon specialization and ideally epic weapon specialization too.

You'll need lore, UMD, spot, tumble, discipline and spellcraft.


I'm too disorganized to write this down into proper build format and the build wizards on the forums would probably tell you it's kinda meh anyway, but I've given you the gist of it and the damage is going to be super hilarious.
