[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 5086257, member: 1225"] The stats are almost a direct copy of the 2e stats, so I'm guessing he tried a direct conversion, then realized that a fighter with an Int 8 has all of 7 skill points to spend, which wasn't enough to cover the skills he thought appropriate, and gave him a bunch of feats that Flint doesn't seem to have in the books. So he swapped two levels of Ftr for Expert. And bizarrely didn't make them the first levels; perhaps quadrupling those 5 skill points might let him have too many useful skills at useful levels. The WF (hand axe) is just bizarre, though, since the 2e stats given above show him as specialized in battle axe. I assume he went with hand axe because Flint's magic weapon is a hand axe.
