[QUOTE="frisbeet, post: 1349576, member: 10287"] The controversy in 3.0 and 3.5 has always raged about the virtues of fighters, especially how they don't scale as spellcasters do at high levels, etc. See the WOTC boards for such ad nauseam debate. What always gets lost, it seems to me, is the joy of playing fighter-types at low levels. It's not like we all measure our D&D playing experience by the endpoint of our characters' careers. Memorable moments in my playing career are of surviving orc/hobgoblin/Gary-Gygax-module encounters when my guy has like, 12 hps and all the badies are swinging two-handed battleaxes--yikes. Anyways, my advice is: take all the feats you can which enhance your AB and weapon damage and increase your number of attacks. Cleave, Combat Reflexes if you have Dex>13, WF, WS, etc. A single level of barbarian, especially taken at 1st character level, is nice for that extra edge once/day. Max your strength. You're better off with 16 Str 14 Con than the other way around, because 1 hp won't save your butt but killing one or more (by virtue of cleave) orcs in a single round sure will. Your buddies appreciate it too. Usually the mage says "cool" after misfiring his crossbow and casting mage armor. Thanks Merlin, see you in a few levels. Also, spring attack is a vastly underrated feat. [/QUOTE]
