Here's what I'm thinking, in a campaign where characters get feats every other level, fighters need a bit of a boost. So, I've stolen a few ideas from this thread and the other thread, and sketched the following out. I apologize in advance for mistakes, typos, or confusing language--its just a rough draft. Let me know what you think...
Fighters get a choice of paths at levels 2, 6, 10, 14, and 20. The character has to take the paths in numberical order, but can chose a different path. If the path gives a feat and the character already has that feat, they may chose another feat.
Sentinal I: Listen, Spot become class skills, gain an extra skill point per level (including this one) to be used only for listen or spot
Sentinal II: Blind-fight
Sentinal III: The invisible attacker’s bonuses do not apply for ranged attacks, half miss chance
Sentinal IV: Can target square of invisible opponent within 10ft without needing to guess
Sentinal V: Tremorsense 10ft
Acrobat I: Balance and tumble become class skills, gain extra skill point per level
Acrobat II: Tumble at full speed as part of normal movement (instead of ½ speed)
Acrobat III: If you succeed on a tumble check before an attack, double threat range. If the tumble takes you through the area occupied by the opponent you attack, deal full weapon damage (not extra damage)
Acrobat IV:
Acrobat V: At the begging of a round, make a tumble check. Opponents have a miss chance on attacks against you equal to ½ of the tumble check.
Cavalier I: Knowledge (Nobility) and Diplomacy become class skills, extra skill point
Cavalier II: Mounts chosen by the cavalier are exceptional (max hit points, elite stat array)
Cavalier III: You can make a ride check as saving throw for your mount
Cavalier IV:
Cavalier V: No longer roll damage dice while mounted (or for mount) but use the maximum (still roll crit damage, extra dice, etc)
General I: Knowledge (military) and diplomacy become class skills, extra skill point
General II: Leadership feat, +1 leadership score
General III: double all positive modifiers for reputation
General IV: +2 leadership score, you may have 50% more followers (min +1)

Tyrant I: Knowledge (military) and bluff become class skills, extra skill point
Tyrant II: Leadership feat, +1 leadership score

Tyrant V: You may have a second cohort, this cohort must be four levels less than you
Battlefield medic I: Heal and survival become class skills, extra skill point
Battlefield medic II: You may take 10 on heal checks even if you normally couldn’t, If brought to negative hit points (but still alive) you may make an immediate check to stabilize yourself.
