My attempt FvS

[smithj_2020]

First FvS for me ever, have played cleric and wizard for comparison.

Here is my attempt tho at a melee FvS while maintaining good heals and descent DCs I think:

PLs fighter, barb

Str: 16
Dex: 8
Con: 15
Int: 8
Wis: 16
Cha: 12

+2 tomes on CHA, int, Dex, wis
+3 time for ate and con

Feats:
Maximize
Great axe
Empower
Quicken
Heighten
IC: slashing
Power attack

Gear:
Epic Gloves of claw
Epic denieth heavy chain - toughness
Con opp goggles
Epic envenomed cloak- heavy fort
Epic helm of frost
Epic scorched bracers
Madstone boots
Archmagi belt
Epic gem of many facets

2 tod rings - +6 CHA and +6 wis one is +2 wis and other is +2 str I believe


Anything different or missing, also what anyone recommends for epic, more melee based then DC of course

I’m not much of a builder (yet), but I do have a question in regards to your selection of great axe. If you go H-elf you can take the fighter ddilettante feat and not have to use a true feat for one weapon. You could also take warforged and go with Lords of Blade and use bonuses with your greatsword. You may want to consider taking a couple levels of fighter (18/2) so not only save the feat but to gain 2 additional. Of course going that route will limit your spell casting.

Just not thinking taking a feat for a weapon is the best option long term

Forgot, also have toughness.

I went human for the extra feat, I don't want to go WF don't really like the race to much and no interest in playing it and I wanna go pure FvS, I took GAxe cause its melee focused and I have a epic Antique GreatAxe waiting for me so would be a waste to not use it.

Oh apparently forgot to mention I had epic antique GreatAxe waiting for me

I wouldn't bother with trying to keep WIS that high (assuming all level-ups go into STR). By mid-levels your DCs will be useless on any challenging content. Just dump it and put the points elsewhere. 18 CON will allow you to take epic toughness with a +3 CON tome for example.

On the same note, heighten is a waste of a feat, as your DCs will be terrible with or without it.
