That build you showed your DM is a nice start for a two-handed fighter.

Hopefully the fights are going to be designed in a way that everyone can contribute evenly. Hopefully the casters are going to limit their optimization so you and the rogue don't fall behind. It gets better with Pounce, but does well without it. The only problem you might have is boosting your Dex for more attacks of opportunity or finding other ways to get it, and convincing your DM to let you use a level adjustment buyoff.Īlternatively, if the Goliath is out, you could do all of the above as a Half Orc (woo strength!) or Human (only need one flaw!) and get your friendly caster to cast enlarge person on you, as you'll be covering their asses early on. If you get your DM to wave the reserve power point restriction for Stand Still (which I think prety much everyone ignores, you could take two flaws at level one to get EWP, Combat Reflexes, and Standstill, Pick up Knockdown at 3, and Hold the Line at 6. Required Feats: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Spiked Chain), Combat Reflexes, (Improved Trip), Knockdown, Standstill, Hold the Line. If he allows Crusader, maybe dip that to get Thicket of Blades and there will be nothing you can't stop dead in its tracks. Boost Str, Dex, and Con, get Combat Reflexes, Standstill, Hold the Line, Knockdown etc.

Use the item creation rules from the Magic Item Compendium, since they're much more versatile. If your arcane caster is an Artificer, they'll be able to make exactly what you want. If you're dead-set on the spiked chain Fighter, find a way to get Use Magic Device and plenty of potions and scrolls, and prepare to beg for the right magic items. Or, if you actually want to be effective, play a melee Cleric with the War domain as the 'Fighter.' Edit: And they're a ton of fun, even if a bit underpowered. The Warblade, Crusader and Swordsage are basically fixes for the Fighter, Paladin and Monk. I would lobby for The Book of Nine Swords. Of course, he'd only end up killing the Rogue, since the others can fly away. It would actually be more interesting if one of the casters had to prepare several Calm Emotions spells every day to prevent your Frenzied Berserker from taking out the rest of the party. On top of that, your DM is specifically banning the only options that sometimes allow melee characters to remain useful, namely one-trick ponies.
