Fighter with high charisma?

[Gnome]

So, I have a player who wants to put one of her high stats into CHA, but otherwise wants to pretty much be a fighter, with no more than a level or 2 of another class thrown in. Given this, what feats are out there where a high CHA would be a benefit? I know there's a feat in the dracominicon that grants the frightful presence ability of dragons with a prereq of CHA 15. Anything else along these lines?

Also, if she did a level or 2 dip into another class, are there any full BAB classes (preferably base classes) that would give some CHA skills as class skills?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well a level or two of hexblade might be a good start.

Also, look for feats that improve intimidation. Daunting Presence from Libre Mortis, there's one on the PH2 called Intimidating Strike that works like power attack but leaves a foe shaken after a hit, there's others out there.

A Paladin, if that's suitable, would benefit more from a good Charisma.

Also the Swashbuckler class has a use for Charisma via social skills.

Both are fighter type classes.

3 level paladin dip with Turn Undead FTW. Use Turn Undead to power Divine Feats like Divine Might, Divine Vigor, etc. You also get CHA to saves which helps out your will save quite a bit and it adds CLW to your class spell list (allowing you to use a wand). Take Extra Smiting from Complete Warrior and you've got a decent smite power useable 3x/day.

Intimidating Strike (PHB II) lets you intimidate a foe you hit in combat. Intimidate is Cha-based.

Improved Feint lets you feint in combat as a move action. Feinting is a use of Bluff, also Cha-based (but unlike Intimidate, Bluff is a cross-class skill for Fighters).

Paladin is out; she's playing a LE human who is trying to redeem herself.

Then Hexblade for certain! She's not trying that hard...

sounds like a paladin in the making.

Power Attack, Cleave, and Improved Sunder. Set up Blackguard, in case that whole "redemption" thing doesn't work out.

Force of Personality and Goad from Complete Adventurer - less likely to fail key Will saves, and force melee threats to attack the fighter rather than anyone else? Both handy.

Paladin is out; she's playing a LE human who is trying to redeem herself.

In that case, why not create the character as mechanically a fallen paladin? When she redeems herself, she regains access to the paladin abilities and the Cha becomes very helpful.
