[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5793814, member: 35909"] You know that Bracers of Armor give an armor bonus, right? It doesn't stack with your actual armor. Well, every trait i listed except Defender of the Society is a religion trait. You can only have 1 trait of each category, so you can only have one of the others I listed. So..take DotS and whichever religion trait and god you like the best. There's your 2 traits. I like Blade of Mercy to combine with the [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/enforcer-combat]Enforcer[/url] feat, and being able to take someone alive without losing attack or damage (you actually gain +1!) is nice. But it looks like you're dumping cha. :) Probably nothing better for sheer damage output, I guess. If that's all you care about, go for it. Do take advantage of Fighter feat retraining, though. The FAQ entry on the fighter page on d20pfsrd specifically saysyou can swap out a feat you took earlier for a feat you qualify for now but did not back then. You can use this to load up on more high level feats than you'd otherwise be able to have. Not sure if it helps you, but it can be nice (I recall for an archery Fighter, you require Weapon Specializtion for Point Blank Master, so if at Fighter 4 you take Weapon Specialization as your 4th level feat and swap one of your earlier Fighter feats for PBM, you can get it at 4th level instead of waiting till 5th like you'd expect). Well...1st level. Maxed d12 HD is better than a maxed d10 HD. :) Also, it makes more sense if you'll be levelling up in Fighter for the Barbarian to be in your past, and not something you flirted with before returning to Fighter, but that's just my opinion. Only reason to do Fighter at level 1 is if you want DotS trait and your DM only allows traits you qualified for at level 1 (you're starting at level 4, right?). [/QUOTE]
