If Dexter boosts his dex to 22, then yes he will have the same to hit. But unless the enemy can only be hit on a natural 20 for both, having multiple attack will not matter as much since Brock can deal almost as much damage on a single hit than Dexter does on 2. Brock also has the advantage of more feats used on "tactical" combat, in this example Greater Trip, thus he can take on high AC low str opponents more easily. Can Dexter hold is own? Sure, if there are no other warrior types in the group, but he is easily challenged by Barbarians, Rangers and even Paladins iMO. So yes he's decent, but he's still the "2nd best fighter" as the thread title says. The fighter gains very little by boosting dex over a certain point, even with armor training, while there is no limit to how useful strength can be. I could probably make a TWF fighter based on strength instead of dex that will be superior in damage output and will not need Weapon Finesse, at the cost of slightly lower Iniative, dex skills and maybe a point or two less in AC at higher levels when you can get mitral plate and enchant it to +5.</blockquote>
