You probably want a somewhat balanced build.  Because of its short reach you need a moderate amount of athletics.  You also want enough power strike to make the swings hurt.

I would say anything between 15/24 build and 21/18 build are probably best for a heavy bastard sword.

Since its a shorter, faster weapon, give yourself some athletics to maneuver probably.  21/18 is my recommendation, and from there, 18/21, or 24/15 (I'm on crack, stick to 18/21 or 21/18) if you want more power or speed.


Level 30:  21 Strength,  18 Agility

8 skillpoints converted

4 Ironflesh
7 Powerstrike
6 Athletics
6 Weapon Master

Alternatively - you can get by without Weapon Master if you only use one type of WPF.  If you'd rather max Ironflesh and give yourself 3 shield skill to protect against archers, that's up to you.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 15
    Agility: 27

    Skills to attributes: 14

    Ironflesh: 3
    Power Strike: 5
    Athletics: 9

This is better. The difference between 7 and 8 athletics is really small and the extra speed from 9 athletics is more than worth a few ironflesh.

5 PS can dish out more damage than most people expect, but you will have to watch your footwork carefully. Go for a high speed bonus, and try to get holds in where you can. If you can aim for the head (I find that it isn't too difficult with the left swing) then do that.

I'm using 21/21 with 0 WM right now and it's been pretty fun. You'll be faster than the average guy but can still make a mistake or two.

I would recommend using this, but maxing IF and dropping WM to 3
