So, idea for a fighter who uses Iaijutsu Focus. Built mostly for giggles. Please read it over and leave comments, critiques, suggestions and the like. But remember, lets keep it friendly.
Our DM allows us to take flaws at levels other than first, so the level given by the flaw name is the level the flaw will be taken. He also doesn't care about fighter bonus feats. If it's accessible to the standard fighter, any variant can take it. It's just the special abilities that are limited to the variants.
The idea is a guy who uses a Great hammer with his Iaijutsu. Cause who would see that coming when he's got a fancy katana on his side? He really only uses the katana in Iaijutsu duels with proper Samurai, since even though he's chaotic he still follows a code of honor. I tried to go the route that would allow me to make everything into an attack of opportunity, and let him take advantage of his Mercurial strike, which would let him use the Iaijutsu. Can't figure out how to sheathe a weapon as a free action though.
I considered using Skill Prodigy to make Iaijutsu Focus a class skill, but I like the fact that Flexible mind not only makes it a class skill, but also gives a small bonus to it.
