Strong Grip

At 2nd level, the Fighter gains a +1 to CMB (Combat Maneuver Bonus) and CMD (Combat Maneuver Defense) on sunder and disarm attempts. This increases by +1 for every four additional levels (maximum +5 at 18th level).

Overhand Chop

At 3rd level, when the Fighter makes a single attack (with the attack action or a charge) with a two-handed weapon, he adds double his Strength bonus to damage rolls.

Two-Handed Weapon Training

At 5th level, the Fighter gains +1 to attack and damage rolls when attacking with a weapon from the two-handed weapon group. The bonuses increase by +1 for every four additional class levels (maximum +4 at 17th level).

Backswing

At 7th level, when the Fighter makes a full attack with a two-handed weapon, he adds double his Strength bonus to damage rolls for all attacks after the first.

Piledriver

At 11th level, as a standard action, the Fighter may make a single melee attack with a two-handed weapon. If the attack hits, he may make a bull rush or trip attempt against the target as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Greater Power Attack

At 15th level when using Power Attack, the bonus damage is doubled instead of increased by half.

Devastating Blow

At 19th level, as a standard action, the Fighter may make a single attack with a two-handed weapon at a -5 penalty to hit. If the attack hits, it is treated as a critical threat. If the hit is confirmed, special weapon abilities that are activated on critical hits do not activate.
