[QUOTE="Phlebas, post: 3649028, member: 23810"] i was about to suggest 2nd, it adds enough to cope with a couple of bad rolls. personally i'd stay away from skills as much as possible for beginning characters wether 6, 16, or 26+ based on experience - fighter means you can learn jump or climb if you want a something to be good at -and then spot etc becomes a simple case of 'roll a dice - you did / didn't see it' - if its solo then who cares if DC's are low / high they just become relative to each other. so feats Starting Improved Initiative Human bonus (assuming you don't want to start him as a dwarf or halfling....) Skill Focus (Jump/Climb/intimidate) F1 - Weapon Focus F2 - Toughness HP 10+6+3 + con bonus x2 = 19 + up to 8 if your encounters are a mix of talkies, hit it, or solve the puzzle then skills don't apply - talkies could solve the healing problem as well if you have a druid / cleric who'll heal if you solve a puzzle / say please etc I would also recommend initiative cards and cyclic initiative as its a lot easier to visualise who's turn it is when you see your card on the top of the pile (playing the optional disabled at 0 to - con bonus would also add some surviveability to a solo character as he could always limp away rather than fall over) [/QUOTE]
