[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 396477, member: 3146"] Spring attack doesn't really combine too well with two weapon fighting. Spring attack depends upon standard attack actions while TWF requires a full attack. Given your character, what I'd consider: 1. Ambi/TWF 2. Weapon Finesse 3. Weapon Focus 4. Weapon Specialization 6. Twin Sword Style, Power Attack 8. Improved Critical 9. Improved Two Weapon Fighting 10. Cleave For a two weapon fighter, your ability to deal out damage will depend upon the number of non-strength bonusses you can get to damage and maximizing your number of attacks. Weapon Specialization and improved two weapon fighting are critical feats for your character--I'd get both of them within at most 1 level of qualifying for them. Power attack will be really useful for you as well since power attacking for one point adds damage to both your primary and off hand attacks. Ordinarily, I'd recommend Iron Will, but since you're a drow, you may be able to get by on the strength of your spell resistance. Considering the number of feats your style will require, you can't really afford iron will. Re: Ability scores--switch your strength and your charisma unless you want an unusually charismatic character for some reason. The 12 strength will really hurt when it comes to dishing out damage. Going to a 14 will give you an extra point on both your primary and off hand attacks. That'll add up. Also, I would put all of my attribute increases towards dexterity. You're clearly focussing on dexterity to hit and for armor class, so that will do much more good for your character than any other score. [/QUOTE]
