charger style fighter

[aaron22]

i am looking at seeing what i could make that would utilize the charging feats on a fighter platform. I would prefer not using barbarian, but could take 5 levels FB or 7 WM if that fit best. thank you. i have some ideas already, just wanted to make sure i had theories correct and wasnt missing out on some hidden synergies.

is MaA a better platform to use than fighter for this type of build?

Fighter will get more feats, M@A will have more HP and some nice defenses. You could try and come up with a combination of the two base classes to gain defense as well as Fighter feats. M@A 11 is a good stopping point while F12 is solid. So theoretically you could go F12/M@A11/WM7. There is not much to the charge feats that necessarily lend themselves to a specific build type. I haven't tested them out in a while, but based on my experience and the feedback from some other players the charge line is somewhat underwhelming. If you want to take a background alongside a couple other feats it's not going to kill the build or anything, but the majority of your character should be based of the standard build type. So for the example I gave you are just building a WM, but throwing in charge feats line. An easier path might be F14/M@A11/FB5 since there are lower feat requirements and FB makes a bit more sense than WM (why would a weapon master charge as opposed to taking a measured, smart approach to size up the enemy?) You could of course, throw in a 3 level Rogue dip (F12/M@A9/R4/FB5 for example) so that you could charge in, trying to get the drop on the opponent for SA and then smacking them with EW. Or you could replace Rogue with 3 levels of Bodyguard for a speed boost, but no evasion/ew.

Best charger is an assasin with death attack and PTWF.
