Top 5 Feat Combos That’ll Make Your Party Fear You (In a Good Way)
Mike’s Personal Experience
A fighter named Bronn joined my table. He’d chosen Giant Instinct and Power Attack in PF2e, then added Furious Finish. When he transformed and used his once‑per‑fight Furious Finish strike, he nearly one‑shot a stone golem. Everyone at the table gasped. Good feat combos don’t just make you strong — they make you memorable.
Here are five combos that turn heads.
1. Giant Instinct + Furious Finish + Power Attack (PF2e)
Transform into a giant, use Power Attack to add damage dice, and finish with Furious Finish to maximize the damage. Perfect for boss fights.
2. Sentinel + Shield Master (5e)
Block attacks with your shield, then punish foes for hitting your allies. Add Shield Bash for extra control.
3. Rogue’s Skulker + Sharpshooter (5e)
Hide in dim light, shoot from concealment, and ignore cover penalties. Combined with sneak attack, this deals deadly surprise damage.
4. Cleric’s Warpriest + Champion Dedication (PF2e)
Blend martial prowess with divine might. Attack twice and raise your shield as a free action thanks to Warpriest, then add Champion’s reactions for protection.
5. Fighter’s Twin Takedown + Aggressive Block (PF2e)
Strike two foes at once, then push them back or off a cliff. This combo is all about controlling space and dealing damage simultaneously.
