For this demonstrations of a basic Ubercharger lets use a Lion totem Barbarian into a Frenzied Barbarian. Lets make the character 11th level because 20th level builds don't impress me. You take Power Attack, Leap Attack and Shock Trooper and the flip out and charge people.
You'll be insanely strong because you have two different rages on at once for +10 strength. Your power attack damage bonus will be at 400% thanks to 2 handing, Leap attack, and the Greater Power attack class feature. You will also definitely hit because Shock Trooper applies the power attack negatives to you AC instead of your to-hit score. You will also get a full compliment of attacks because you have pounce. That means at BASE your charge would look like this:
4 Greatsword Attacks, +28 (2d6+62). That's an average of 276 damage. Enough to one-shot anything in your CR band and at a high enough attack bonus that you only miss on one's. It's a very reliable build.
Aid dumpster diving. Which books are Lion Totem Barbarian, Leap Attack, and Shock Trooper in? I think I have PDFs of just about all the splats lying around somewhere at this point.
I get how we got the damage to hahaha what the fuck levels, but how is an eleventh level character getting four attacks on a charge (or for that matter, four attacks ever without something giving extra attacks)? I didn't think you could even full attack on a charge without somehow having Pounce...ENLIGHTEN ME!
I personally do not like to run 3.5 at two-digit levels
Not the case for me. I am completely satisfied with D&D 3.5E. That is not to say it's perfect. It isn't. It has a shit ton of problems. But none of those problems actually impact any of the D&D games I very occasionally run or play in with a few friends with enough force to register anything other than a "meh" from me.
Anyway so yeah, I have this one friend (not to mention legions of random paizils I don't know but that are everywhere at every con, and in my biz as a tiny game company owner guy, I kind of have to go to lots of cons) who is all like, "You should totally switch to Pathfinder, it's totally better than 3.5E". And I'm always like... "Nahh, that's not what I heard" but I asked the question a page or so up because I can never remember the reasons why whilst I'm actually talking to him.
Anyway now I'm trying to figure out like...is it just that it totally fails to be better than 3.5E, or is it actually like OBJECTIVELY worse?
(2)Lifting the list of classes from PHB wholesale, even though it was really not that hard to make the existing 3.5 material passably balanced by editing the allowed class list.
Oh and it seems to me like this was necessary for their (defaulted on) promise and (failed?) design goal of backwards compatibility to 3.X.
For a minute, I used to be "a guy" in the TTRPG "industry". Now I'm just a nobody. For the most part, it's a relief.
