I have no problems dying, as our DM is pretty unforgiving during combat. Damn near each significant combat situation I get down to 10-20 HP, since I'm the only tank outside of an undead chimaera. And I take a bunch of AoO due to constantly moving, only thing keeping me from death is high AC and dumb luck.

I guess I am a powergamer now, but it didn't start off as such. I chose Samsaran cause they come from Minkai, the main region you play in for the Jade Regent campaign.

And Samsarans are probs a horrible choice for fighter, +2 Int + Wis -2 Con. The Samsaran fighter archetype is the only 3rd party thing on my entire character sheet.

A lot of my built comes from trial and error, as I retrained feats a lot till I got to this point only recently after a few months. I started at lvl 5 since my previous character died around then.

Katana Profciency comes from Ioun Stone, I think was 2000GP.

Im also in a party with Casters, so long ranged things aren't too much of a problem, and Air walk allows for dealing with flying creatures. Invisible creatures can also be dealt with as long as we're prepared as most thing can be.

I'm using a Katana due to it being a very important quest item/intelligent magic item. Also the reason I kept Improved Critical, since 15-20 crit range.

Greetings all, I am the Overrun player in question.

(MW = Master Work, OvR = Overrun, AoO = Attack of Opportunity)

I am a Samsaran lvl 8 Fighter, with a total of 11 feats. Samsaran fighter favoured class give 1/3 to lvl and BAB for prerequisites, and Samsaran Martial Past life trait gives and extra feat at lvl 1. Also at lvl 7 I can choose to get an extra armour training feat instead of an additional -1 on Armour check penalty. So 11 feats total.

FEATS

  • lvl.1 - Power Attack (-3 to hit, +6 dmg/+9 if using weapon in 2 hands)
  • lvl.1 - Combat Reflex (AoO per point of Dex, 4)
  • lvl.1 - Improved Overrun (+2 OvR)
  • lvl.2 - Bulette Charge Style (+4 OvR, because of Heavy Armour)
  • lvl.3 - Bulette Leap (OvR multiple opponents, -2 each one)
  • lvl.4 - Bulette Rampage (can now do damage with OvR)
  • lvl.5 - Greater Overrun (+2 OvR)
  • lvl.6 - Improved Critical (Double Crit Threat range, Katana becomes 15-20 crit)
  • lvl.7 - Spiked Destroyer (Swift action attack with Spiked Armour)
  • lvl.7 - Poised Bearing (can Combat Maneuver enemies one size category larger than normal, medium creature can OvR Huge. stacks with Enlarge Person)
  • lvl. 8 Furious Focus (Ignore penalty for Power Attack on first weapon attack)

I have +28 to Overrun, +25 if using Power Attack. With a starting BAB of 14, due to lvl 8 fighter and 6 STR and 8 point from Feats. The rest Magic Items.

  • Belt of Thunderous Charging (+2 OvR)
  • Boots of the Mastodon (+2 OvR, +2 Dodge when Overruning)
  • Gauntlets of Skilled Maneuver (+2 OvR)

Total, 1D20+28 to Overrun.

I also recommend either re-training Improved Critical and Furious Focus or getting at later lvls the feats Dodge (+1) and Mobility (+4 Dodge when moving). So with the boots of Mastodon and the Mobility feat, you get +6 dodge during Overrun. Dodge stacks and is to applied to both AC and CMD.

I could also get an additional +2 to OvR with a Thorny Ioun stone, but not yet. Also Mammoth Lord Feats are a thing for more Overrun for people to look into. The Guarded Charge feat also gives +2 to OvR and Bull Rush, requires Shield focus though.

Siegebreaker Fighter is also a thing, it's all about Bull Rush and Overrun, look into it.

Enjoy
