Hopefully you get about a 16 on your high stat and you use your +1 dex (wood elf) and +1 dex (fighter) give you an 18. This mean you have an 18 in your1) armor stat2) attack stat3) damage stat4) skill stat (I feel that most applicable skills are dex based)not bad so farLooking at equipment let's say you want to be lightly armored. Let's give him leather armor (because we really want that +1 AC over unarmored!).Next we'll do the traditional swashbuckler approach and have a rapier and a buckler. Let's not forget that swashbuckers, you know, used bucklers.so we have a 16 AC; +4 attack; 1d8+4 damage; 1d10 hit dice fighter that can use all sorts of cool maneuvery swashbucklingly cool stuff (like parry and tumble and shift!) with only having to put effort into ONE STATthat gives you five big stats to customize your character however you want. Granted you might not hit quite as hard as an two handed weapon STR fighter, but you also get to do a lot more with your skills since your aren't encumbered by armor, move faster, and have only had to put points into one stat so far.I think that's a pretty good build</blockquote>
