[QUOTE="Jdvn1, post: 3029364, member: 26424"] My first character was a Half-Orc TWFer, and he was really, really powerful. Through the course of the Fighter class, you end up getting plenty feats anyway, so the extra one from being Human isn't as big a deal. TWFing is feat-intensive, true, but mostly only at low levels.
