Akin to the Rocky movies, Aandre is back! This build has matured over the years, starting out as a Dwarf with few toys, just a ton of strength and con. After a beating from the fighter/barb community, and thousands of hours playing, I've learned a whole lot how my ultimate fighter should turn out.
If there's a single real life human being that had the traits of the D&D half-orc, both in vanity, height and weight, it would have to be Andre the Giant. Billed at 7'4 525lbs, many argue that he was only 6'9. Either way, the Bulgarian born André René Roussimoff was an amazing athlete (early in his career) with legendary size and a world renowned heart of a lion. To wrestling fans around the world, I dedicate this build to the man the fans knew as the Eight Wonder of the World. To non-wrestling fans, just think of the big loveable Fezzik!
I will put together Half Orc, Dwarf and Warforged versions. 28/32/34 and 36 point versions. Because its a THF, some will prefer to build as a Barbarian, or as a mixed-class variety. Yes, you can adapt to TWF fairly easily as well. It's really up to you (you can ask!). I prefer building and playing a straight fighter. A great starter build (Id start as a dwarf if 28 only points, either way as 32 points) or a straight up powerhouse fighter build for purists. Top-flight THF fighter DPS, easy to play fighter w/o multi-classing. You can personalize these templates so many different ways.
32 Point THF DWARF Fighter. (Great for the new player or seasoned vet)
** With 10 INT, you get 2 skill points, 3 at level 7+ with a +2 tome! Great for boosting the typically poor fighter skill pool.

34 point THF HALF ORC Fighter.
I'm really interested in what the fighter community has to say about THEIR level 20 Half Orcs, and how it would differ from this layout.

Starter GEAR:
Carnifex
Greater banes, Burst Greataxes/Falchions
Stat items that pushes STR and CON up to next even number
Guard items
Guard armor
End Game Gear:
Dragontouched armor (healing amp/destruct/guards)
eSOS
Min 2 Greataxe or Falchions (Holy/Acidburst/Acidblast)
Lightning 2 Greataxe or Falcions (Holy/Shock Burst/Shock Blast)
3x pos Maul (holy/goodburst/Raise Dead clickie/Goodblast, many just make it 2x pos for the raise dead clickie)
As always with my builds, these builds can be played well with almost no top end gear or tomes, although good gear would certainly help in the short and long term!
I'm wide open to suggestions, let's talk melee!
