So, I've got an idea for an elven fighter, kind of an Ambassador. Not an optimized game at all. Primary ability score will be intelligence.
Now, what I'm having trouble with is weapon selection. I'm skipping reach weapons because Student of War allows intelligence to replace dexterity, so attacks of opportunity are not a large part of the build. Instead, I'm considering the Elven Curve Blade and the Scythe.
If I go Elven Curve Blade, I imagine I'll use Tripping Strike a fair amount, whereas Scythe would definitely be better off using Felling Blow.
The Curve blade works well for an ambassador because she'd get to say "Oh, yes, it's a cultural weapon, don't worry about it."
The scythe, however, would work with all the CMB bonuses Lore Warden provides. I don't think that Tripping Strike pays those any mind.
