[QUOTE="Mr.E_Danger, post: 5998968, member: 6687532"] I have always thought a fighter's main strength lies in the fact that he gets more feats than any other class. There are some exotic weapons that offer some great abilities. It is rather easy to pump up a fighter that uses a two handed weapon or two weapons to fight. those seem to be a dime a dozen. Why don't you try something a bit different? A fighter with high dex and light armor that uses hammers instead, like the aklys, which have a reach of 20 feet and can trip at a range! add some feats to improve your trip, and you can disable enemies all over the battlefield. Throwing hammers and the rebounding hammer feat means you'll be like thor or captain america, bouncing hammers off your enemies faces right back into your hands. The Magus may not deal the same amount of damage as a straight up fighter, but that's not his strength. His strength lies in magic AND physical attacks. dealing "sick" amounts of damage is great. The more damage you deal, the faster the enemies go down and that is always a good thing. however, having the ability to help your allies, to get out of sticky situations, or do something the enemy cannot predict is even better. the spells and utilities you'd have access to will more than make up for the damage you might miss out on as a straight up fighter.
