[QUOTE="nittanytbone, post: 4040574, member: 35709"] To make TWF efficient, you must get a source of bonus damage for both hands. Common sources include: Cleric's Divine Favor spell Rogue's sneak attack Ranger's Favored Enemy Bard's Inspire Courage I'd suggest going the cleric route, actually, perhaps with a dip into Human Paragon in order to get an extra feat. You lose a caster level but you're feat starved, so that's how it goes. You could also do a Rogue dip for Sneak Attack, skills, and trapfinding, and be the party's scout/trap monkey as well. Since you really are using Cleric for the Divine Favor spell, it could look like: Cleric X/Rogue 3/Human Paragon 3. The lost caster levels are a loss of power, but you can use Practiced Spellcaster to make up for the lost CL in regards to your favorite buff. Spears are only a simple weapon so you don't need MWP. When you grab a Human Paragon level select the shield as your free MWP for offense. Clerics are extremely versatile and even with a suboptimal fighting style you can still hang in there and hold your own with typical characters. Wield a short spear. The damage boost from a spear is not worth the -2 to hit from monkeygrip or the waste of a feat on a suboptimal choice like monkeygrip. It solves several problems for you. [/QUOTE]
