Help with a build.

[a.rice72391]

I'm making an Earthshaking Hammer Warrior (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Earthshaking_Hammer_Warrior_(3.5e_Optimized_Charac ter_Build)) build and I need some help with equipment/some general tips.

I'm starting at level 5, with LA I'll be a Warblade 4

My stats are:
Str-22
Dex-14
Con-18
Int-14
Wis-14
Cha-13

I get 10,000 starting gold, and the max I can spend on a single item is 3,000.

What should I get for gear, not asking for optimal gear, the more common the book is the better for the DM's sake. I'm probably going with a Goliath Warhammer for flavor and build.

Also tips on feats, skill allotment, maneuvers and stances are welcome.

Thank you for your time.

2 things.

In general, take the Warblade levels last/later/as needed, as you would get 1/2 your Wizard/AbjChamp levels to your Iniator level.

In my own opinion a Psy Warrior/Psion Gish/Warmind + Slayer would be easier to get this done. Elan with Tashalatora, Rapidstrike, Beaststrike, Aptitude Amulet o' Natural attacks (for your Unarmed Strikes), Expansion, Metamorphosis into something huge, that on ring that gives Imp Unarmed Strike and Imp Natural Attack, Warforged Components on your implanted Warforged arms... Look up the King of Smack sometime.

That doesn't help at all. As I stated I'm a level 4 Warblade Goliath, and I need help with gear. I can't go back and change it nor would I want to. I like the build and I wanted advice on the build I already built, not the one I could of built.

A better build (if you're going with a preset build) is the Thor build on the same site. more damage, and more awesome, with more general info on what is needed for the build

EDIT: For the build you have I would pick up power attack, weapon focus, cleave for feats and buy the heavy attribute for your weapon to make it could a size larger for some extra early damage

Reing of Deflection, Amulet of Natural Armor, +1 Armor! Bam! Cost effective AC! +1 your Hammer for now! Bam! Because you can't afford a Belt of Giant's Strength! Wand of Cure Light Wounds/Vigor! Bam! Cost effective out of combat healing! Focus Specialist Wizard! Bam! Who needs an Int score for bonus spells nowadays?
