Pure THF Kensai Fighter that Trips/Stuns

[Guilllotine]

This build is a Half-Orc.

This build only requires a +1 INT Tome to be used no later than level 5.

This is a solid THF pure fighter that utilizes trips and stuns in regular/epic content to devastate his foes. I will be equipping a Lightning II Great axe that will really complement the Fighter 10% double strike capstone as well. I chose to take Combat Expertise so that I can take Improved Trip. The reason I took it so early is because I am able to without sacrificing a delay of Kensai I. Improved Trip has a better cool down time, along with up to a minute of a foe being on his back, very useful indeed. Since I'm a low AC death dealer, I need all the crowd control I can muster, and Improved Trip greatly increases my survivability in epic content, especially since the trip can last up to a minute. I also utilize Stunning Blow at level 14, this was about the most convenient time I could fit it in due to the THF line of feats. My Greataxe Mastery will shine in my Stunning Blow/ auto-crit situations. I also chose taking another Toughness over Quick Draw because I believe the extra HP will make a bigger difference until I acquire better gear. Once I get better, I will switch it for Quick Draw to have a couple extra swings on my Haste Boost.

Since I have a starting 12 INT, I get more skill points too! I chose to max out Intimidate, Balance and Haggle. I chose Intimidate because it's nice to keep trash off casters or control mobs to trip/stun and maximize my DPS with glancing blows. This all depends on the situation of course. I chose balance because I am doing 0 damage on my back, so I need to recover soon as possible. I chose Haggle over UMD because it's really not my play style to use wands, or restricted equipment. I just chug pots and use gear that I have, so haggle saves me a lot of money over my life.

Raise STR on every level up. Enhancements are kind of a toss up right now, just make sure you take all the corresponding prerequisites for Kensai 1-3. Since you can reset these often, not a big deal to post right now.

I present to you Razortusk Deathshock. A formidable fighter that decimates his enemies with trips/stuns and his "Deathshock" Greataxe that benefits from 10% doublestrike. Enjoy!
