Message: <blockquote data-quote="pawsplay" data-source="post: 5349582" data-attributes="member: 15538">Cleave is sort of situational for a low damage output fighter, and Power Attack doesn't work with shortswords (light weapon). With that Dex, you won't be able to rebuild for TWF, so let's focus on strengths. Straight up damage is good. I'd suggest replacing those those two feats with Blind-Fight and Brutal Thrower, with Greater Weapon Focus next on the list. Blind-Fight gives you something you can do that most summons cannot and may save your bacon against an enemy rogue sometime. Brutal Thrower puts your returning javeling, with Str to +damage and +attack, into the realm of a level-appropriate attack. So looking to the future... Level 10, take Greater weapon focus (shortsword), Level 12 Point Blank shot + Far Shot, 14 greater weapon Specialzation (shortsword), 15 weapon focus (javelin). I have two suggestions as to how to proceed after that.On the one hand, you can stick with the fighter archetype, if that's what you want. In that case, I suggest taking an increase to Dex at levels 12 and 16, raising your AC by one and making you eligible for TWF at level 16. At that point, you can use two shortswords (actually taking advantage of the light weapon aspect and also doing the cool Trojan War movie thing) or, with Quick Draw, throw two javelins (hey, that's cool, right?). Alternatively, you could acknowledge that at high levels, the fighter does not always have something exciting to do. I'm fine with that, but not everyone is. Just as the wizard has the golem, the fighter has the obstacle scene, for which only a high skill check or a cool spell is really going to do the trick. You can either take one level of Rogue, gaining a sneak attack die and 8+ ranks of Use Magic Device, or one level in a spellcaster. I suggest one level of a Cleric with the Magic domain, allowing you to use virtually any magical wand.</blockquote>
