How difficult is it to get ones hands on a nice khopesh? I like the look, it generally fits the theme of my character (once re-envisioned as a fighter-splash intimitank. oh well), it just seems like an unwise use of a feat for a weapon I don't even have yet.

feats are as follows (for a 3f/11p)

h: PA
1: Toughness
f1: WF:S
f2: Cleave
3: [empty]
6: greatcleave
9: Imp Crit: slash
12: [empty]

stats are 17/10/14/8/9/14
at 14: 22/10/14/8/9/18



I expect one of the "empty" slots will become skill focus: intimidate, bullheaded, or possibly extra turning (for divine righteousness charges) I may convert it to a 7p/7f build along the way, if i feel that more ranks of balance are needed (will probably cap at about 4, though i can't imagine ever making a check in a reasonable time with a tower shield equipped). the conversion would add two more feats, one of which would be specialization: slash. It would also move one final point from cha to str, leaving me open to odd tomes.


So, to the khopesh wielding paladins out there - do you ever wish you spend the feat elsewhere?
