This build is kind of crazy. It can add dex mod to dmg (which is 2 or 3 base depending on how you did original stats), and gets +5 ab on 3 different weapons. It also gets a general +3 ab and +3 dmg, in additional to +2 dmg if wearing a longbow or a rapier. It also has Devastating Critical on the Rapier, the highest crit ranged weapon it has.

Man at Arms has tumble as a class skill, so final stats of this class wearing generic Full Plate and a Tower Shield are:

---Melee---
AC: 10 + 2 (armor skin) + 2 (man at arms) + 8 (tumble) + 9 (full plate + 1 dex mod) + 3 (tower shield) = 34. 39 with expertise. Hardly shabby considering this is without magic items.

AB: 30 (base) + 3 (man at arms) + 5 (weapon master) + 8 (str mod) + 1 (focus, for all) + 1 (epic prowess) + 2 (additional focus, some) = 50. Base, without even magical STR boosters. That's pretty damn high.

Damage varies, but it's pretty nice.

Overall I think this is a great versatile melee build, who can dish out pain and also recieve it well.

"Life builds you up just to tear you down." - 3rd Strike I like the versatility of multiple weapons myself; but I didnt think the various Improved Criticals implied in ManAtArms were actual feats that could be used to qualify you for Overwhelming Crit(Rapier)? Is this a new feature of the next version of PRC? That would be nice!

I missed that.

Um to fix I guess I have to lose a EWF or a WS in favor of Imp Crit: Rapier instead.

Still a disgusting build, though.

Agreed; not someone I would want to meet in a dark alley. (darn, I was really hoping you guys had added actual ImpCrit feets to MaA. . .)
