Requested Build. Pls critique

[Dylvish]

Hey guys and gals as appropriate,

My nephew has decided he wants to play a fighter. He calls it 'The Road Block'. His caveats: Thf, Maul Kensai, Human or Dwarf (he insists on them even over Horc), and he wants to be a stun / trip monster. I went with human simply because the chargen started on one, but the change to Dwarf would be easy enough.

I picked up every stun + I could, and most of the trips too. Went full out Maul kensai and THF, and even picked up a couple of save bonuses and throwing, and purely on a concept level, picked up the Dragonmarks (namely because the human fighter has SO MANY feats. Im suddenly jealous with my paladin). If there are feats that are must-haves, that are missing, let me know and I'll pull some of the fluff and get them in there.
I know about the whole falchion/GA/GS debate, but he is more interested in the stun-fun as he likes to call it, and he loves the maul.

Anyway, the build is below, let me know what you think, so I can go over it, make mods if / as needed, and get it back to him so he can start his fun.

Thanks in advance,
~Dyvout

[Dylvish]

Any changes needed? Or is it decent as it stands?

[EKKM]

Looks pretty standard, my only suggestion is to lose cleave and Gcleave as the THF feats accomplish the same thing without a cooldown.

Options if you decide to switch
1- If he really likes the tactics feats you could reduce dex by 2 and add it to INT. Eat a +1 INT tome and you then qualify for CE and Imp trip.

2- Better saves, iron will and lighting reflexes would improve two pretty bad saves.

3- More toughness, you have lots of HP but with low AC and saves more is better

Going dwarf allows for more HP and the dwarf tactics enhancements but you would have to lose the three DM feats.

Hope that helps

[Dylvish]

It does indeed, thx. Ill go over it and figure which way to adjust.

Here's a dwarf variant with the option of a late-game respec to Stalwart Defender. Sacrificed ~40 HPs for full Haste boost & max Stunning Blow DC.
