Alright, so I'd like to poll some of you folks smarter than me on some of your Ideas for a cool Free Hand Fighter. I'm planning out a young "Naive" swordsman guy whom revers Cayden Cailean and hopes to one day take the Test of the Starstone himself. (Probably not literally :P) The main reason I ask is because it seems like most of the discussion on the class is pretty old at this point and I was curious what new options might be viable. So far I've thought that a dip into Shadowdancer or into Monk (Many Styles) (maybe both?) are beneficial, I'd like for him to use a Bastard Sword (with Exotic Proficiency), this is kind of a matter of fluff and aesthetic that I want to capture, so I don't really want to budge on it. I'm not specifically looking for a way to min/max, more cool ideas. I'm pretty sure mostly everyone else in the campaign I'm about to start is going to be a new player so I'm using this as an opportunity to try something new myself.
Also, I had a question, even though I said I don't specifically want to min/max I would like to get the most out of what I end up with, and I was wondering if anyone has a graceful way to scale Singleton.
At any rate, I appreciate any advice you all can give, thanks! ^_^
