Although it's difficult to compare apples to oranges, it does seem like the fighter is not as solid as his specialty as the rogue or sorcerer is at theirs. One thing I like about Pathfinder is the slight beefing up the fighter gets. This is the same character I posted, updated to Pathfinder, for the benefit of those not familiar with the Pathfinder rules. Note the fighter picks up a couple of minor abilities and a numerical increase to his fighting abilities in the form of weapon training and benefits from the more flexible cross-class skills rules. Keeping in mind that members of other classes get some bennies, too, I think this does go a way toward making the fighter more powerful.
