NEW: T6: Bloodbath: This doubles your Vorpal Threat Range while you are Two Handed Fighting.


With the new changes to FOTW, I am thinking that a maulbarian would be a great thing to try out again. 13 Cleric 7 Barbarian, PDK for Silvanus and reap souls accordingly.

What thoughts does the hivemind have?????

Maul barb was fairly solid even before these changes.

My barbarian is 12/7/1 barb/cleric/fighter PDK with a maul.

He will definitely be trying out Fury again.

Why not go Cleric 14/Barb 6? You get +1 BAB for both Barb 7 and Cleric 14, and better advancement for saves from Cleric at that level. So I'm not sure what Barb 7 gives you, but Cleric 14 is when you get the last tier of your domain feats. For instance, Feral Charge from the Animal Domain is quite nice, or if Strength Domain you're effectively immune to stuns.
