This page is of questionable balance. Reason: all i have to say is I use any weapon at 17th level (like a greatsword) and CRIT on a 10 and roll 32d6 damage?

[edit] Dreadful Rager
"Note: This class was developed for extremely powerful and difficult campaigns. As such, it increases in power exponentially rather than in the standard intervals common to many melee classes such as the SRD:Fighter. This class is designed to remain highly competitive at all levels of play but can quickly overshadow any classes not designed for exponential growth such as Wizard Optimization's. Use at your own discretion."
Dreadful Ragers follows a deity of war, they thurst for battles and are bored whenever not in any form of combat. They love fighting stronger and stronger opponents as to test their strength and skills and are not afraid to even turn on a teammate. Their deity of war favors this and gives them strength to perform their feats of war.

Wisdom of War (Ex): The Dreadful Rager has been enough battles to know how to strike his enemies. All damage dealt by a melee weapon the Dreadful Rager wields is considered to strike the targets weakness, for example instead of his weapon dealing slashing damage against and undead it deals bludgeoning and instead of cold to a creature with cold immunity it would deal fire damage.
