I've got a Warforged THF bard...base str of 18 + all level-ups. That would put his eventual str at the following:
18 base
+5 level
+2 tome
+6 item
+2 exc str
+1 exc str
34 total str pre-buffs
This could be pushed higher by rage spell, yug pots, madstone boots if the situation calls for it (doubt that would be very often though), etc.
I'm starting to plan out my greensteel weapon and I'm stuck on great axe or falchion. At that level of str am I better off with the 2d6/15-20 x2 crits of the Falchion or the 3d6/19-20 x3 crits of the Great Axe? Keep in mind too that I *should* have a bloodstone before the Greensteel and that I'll always be running max warchanter song which gives me even more base damage to add in before crits. And I'll also have the maxed out (or at least 2/3) of the Warforged Power Attack line adding to the already huge pre-crit numbers.
Finally, on each of those weapons (Falchion/GAxe) am I better off with the 2d6 damage of Holy or the 1d6 Good +bonus crit damage (3d6 for Falchion/4d6 for GAxe)?
