What skills should I choose?

What skills should I choose?

Whatever you want. What do you want the fighter to be able to do in and out of combat?

 

[ren1999]

Intimidation I suppose. Athletics, Intimidation, Perception, Survival?

Also looking for the best Maneuvers.

What languages would be good? Half-Elves get an extra language and the Guide background gets an extra language.

Those sound like great skills. I would ask your DM what might be a good language to pick up for the campaign. Barring that, come up with a reason to know Draconic, Primordial or something interesting which might not pop up a lot but could be interesting.

As for maneuvers, at level 13 you get 7 maneuvers which is almost half the list. That being said, I would suggest choosing maneuvers on a theme rather than just "the best" maneuvers. One option would be to set up something akin to a 4e Warlord. Commander's Strike, Distracting Strike, Maneuvering Attack, Pushing Attack, Rally, and Trip Attack not only help you but also help your allies.

 

[ren1999]

Good advice. I chose most of those Maneuvers.
