Fighter 12 / Bard 1 / Frenzied Berserker 10 / Weapon Master 7

The idea was to create a powerful fighter build without having to explain away one's background as a Red Dragon Disciple. I mean, who keeps having relations with all these dragons? Nevertheless, several important stats and feats are retained for a more well-rounded build and at least a two-trick pony.

The build retains Epic Weapon Focus, Epic Weapon Specialization, Overwhelming Critical and, thanks to Bard and Able Learner, level 30+ stats in at least four ancillary skills. I chose Diplomacy, Spellcraft, Tumble and Use Magic Device.

All in all, it's an extension of the Fighter 6, Frenzied Berserker 7, Weapon Master 7 build for the OC, but with tweaks. Mainly pertaining to that one Bard level and shuffling the last levels so as to maximize chance for the reward feats.

Fighter (12)


 * Feats, more feats, and did I mention feats?

Weapon Master (7)


 * Crits to go along with feats!

Frenzied Berserker (10)


 * Feat multipliers! Also, great party attitude.

Bard (1)


 * Skills to match all these feats!

Pro


 * Greater and Epic Weapon Focus


 * Greater and Epic Weapon Specialization


 * Overwhelming Critical


 * Supreme Power Attack


 * Supreme Cleave


 * Actually being able to diplomacize.


 * You don't feel quite like the twink of an RDD build.

Con


 * Frenzy doesn't stack with +Strength gear, so you're talking 8 less STR on average than an RDD build.


 * Somewhat limited Will save.


 * Dependent on gear.


 * Can't get Improved Whirlwind Attack. Well, you [i]could[/i], but it'd be at the cost of all your skill points and ability to, well, talk.
