Just looking for some advice from others who might have played this type of character before.
We rolled our stats, and I rolled really well (The wife rolled better, which is surprising, but not much).
Current Stats:
Level 9
STR - 24 (18 Starting, +2 from level, +2 from Half-Elf, and +2 from belt).
DEX - 20 (18 Start, +2 from Belt)
CON - 16 (14 Start, +2 from Belt)
INT - 16
WIS - 16
CHA - 14
Pretty dang impressive. My GM actually made me lower one of my 17s to a 16 and one of my 15s to a 14. No big whoop though, I can't blame him (I thought he might have made me re-roll!).
As noted, I'm a half-elf. We started off at level 7 with no gear, and I've got the following:
- Masterwork Great sword
- Masterwork Comp.Longbow of +7 strength
- Masterwork Long sword
- Masterwork Mythril Breastplate
- Masterwork Mythril Large Shield
- Belt of Physical Perfection +2
- Cloak of Resistance +1
Great sword is my main weapon, long sword is my backup (with the shield if I need it). I use the longbow for ranged options.
Here is my current feats\traits etc.
Trait - Indomitable Faith
Trait - Deft Dodger
Alternate Racial - Dual Minded (Half-Elf)
Fighter 1 - Weapon Focus (Great sword)
Level 1 - Iron Will
Fighter 2 - Dodge
Level 3 - Outflank
Fighter 4 - Combat Reflexes
Level 5 - Lightning Reflexes
Fighter 6 - Power Attack
Level 7 - Weapon Specialization (Great sword)
Fighter 8 - Greater Weapon Focus (Great sword)
Level 9 - Improved Critical (Great sword)
I'm also a Two-Handed Fighter Archetype, so I have:
Shattering Strike +2
Overhand Chop
Backswing
Weapon Training (Heavy Blades +2)
Weapon Training (Bows +1)
Our GM likes low-magic campaigns, hence the mostly crappy gear. I also think he is trying to not give me gear because of my stats, which is fine with me =D
On to the questions. Do you guys see anything I can do to be better? My character is supposed to be a high damage great-weapon fighter, but he is also the trap finder (Maxed Perception and Disable Device) for all non-magic traps. I also want to have at least decent defenses, as I don't want to die (hence the high saves and dodge etc...).
I'm hoping to get more magic gear "soon", but I'm not sure when that will be. Any items I should be looking at buying in particular?
Any other feats\abilities\traits\archetypes you recommend I look at?
Thanks ahead of time for the input!
