Rahl's Disciple (Big F'n Stick variant)

[krisz93]

I've always had interest in quarterstaves, but i do not like relying heavily on sneak attacks.
This version replaces SA with brute force and terrible crits using Rahl's Might.

Earth III Stance grants +1 to crit multiplier, raising it to a stabile x4.
You can boost it further by spamming Fists of Iron for x5 attacks, then finishing it off with The Trembling Earth (combo finisher) for an x6 critical multiplier.

Being a two handed weapon, the bonus from Power Attack and Kensei are doubled, then multiplied by 4/5/6 for outstanding results.
Splashed in Paladin for Divine Grace and occasional Smites.
