A thread I know something about.I currently play a 9th level character a  4th fighter/5th rogue spiked chain wielding monkey. It frickin' Rocks. I am the single most dangerous person in my group.I went the Expertise/ Improved trip route.Coupled with Wpn focus/ Wpn specialization (Spiked chain does stink for damage) I didn't do Finesse since my str and dex were equal to start with.  I have been boosting dex since but only becuase of my thief skills. I also have Expert Tactician and a hide/move silent at a 22 with magic items. I move ahead in silence and ambush things quite a bit. I also have combat reflexes.  That with Improved Trip can lay out people before they can reach you with your 10 foot reach.Last night my character was swarmed by 6 rast.  I was trying to get past them to save a friend so I moved up to them. Tumbled around and kept moving. When they approached me I managed to kill 2 and severly wound the rest as they closed on me. I then Tumbled away again continueing on (my party member was a round a corncer and 4 move Equivalents away so I had no attacks to use) and as they swarmed me again I killed the rest. Of course I had a Cat's garce and Bull strength potions going with +4 to both those stats so I was dealing out great damage and had lot's of AofO.Spiked chain is also a Large weapon giving that 1.5 starngth damage so that helps to.I developed a Spiked chain Prestige class that melded Fighter/rogue together so I could get even better at the chain. (but sacrificing a lot of thief things)The only reason I am waiting to tenth level is to develop the Thief skills I will be losing as Class skills.I would focus on the Expertise, Improved trip, Combat reflexes aspect boosting dex and using magic to boost str. Expert tactician also helps since with the reach the chain gives I have been able to hit things that have lost dex when otherwise I would not have been able to get to them. . Another chain benefit is no 5 foot step and shoot a bow or cast a spell without me being there to wack them with my combat reflexes.Hopefully this is helpful if not I still had fun being an overly proud player.Later</blockquote>
