Hei all!

Been playing my Orc Rune Knight Fighter for a while now and it has been a blast! He grapples basically anything that the DM throws at us including an Owlbear and a Giant (rune knight, fuck yeah). Of course, sometimes he grapples successfuly, sometimes he doesn’t.

I think the build is pretty solid but surely there are ways to improve. I’m not sure if I want to keep grappling that much or if I want to go more the direction of brute force fighting.

I’ve been playing with a warpick and a shield to get that juicy +2 for AC and use it to steamroll enemies but not sure if I should keep the shield.

Current stats at level 7:

• STR: 20
• DEX: 14
• CON: 16
• INT: 12
• WIS: 15
• CHA: 14

I already took the “Skill Expert” feat to get expertise in Athletics and now have a juicy +11 in that skill. If I activate my frost rune, I get another +2 on top of that.

So, any ideas for fighting styles, multiclassing, ASI, feats, weapons or anything else that could make him even more of a badass while fighting?
