[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 5243834, member: 892"] I would go for Human Fighter. If you need to tank, you need someone that can take the tank role. If you want to do a lot of tricky maneuvers, you need a lot of feats. This is what human fighters do -- it is their Thing. If you run out of cool feats you want to take, then you can always multiclass out of it (as you can with half-elf or dwarf). If you are drow, you take an LA hit, and an XP hit if you are not careful with your multi-classing. Plus humans get more skill points, which doesn't hurt. I would say forget about the Blackguard stuff and just be ye olde LE honourable but brutal human fighter. Make sure you have at least 13 or 13 in int and dex for better access to feats. Dump charisma. str 17 dex 14 con 14 int 13 wis 10 cha 6 (oddly, the order you presented the stats). Boost strength every chance you can get unless you see a feat you love with a high dex requirement, in which case boost dex. You can now take options on the Power Attack tree, the Dodge tree and the Combat Expertise Tree. These trees have a lot of cool maneuvers. You might also look at the Improved Unarmed Strike tree, for Improved Grapple, Deflect Arrows, etc. [/QUOTE]
