Various fighter archetypes


Advice


Hello everybody, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm working on a few concepts for a a friends upcoming game, Eberron using Pathfinder rules. Interested in playing some sort of sword master, so fairly set on Fighter for a class. Rules are no multi-classing, using PF point buy, 25 points (epic fantasy). So, here are two that I'm working on.

1. An Aundurian half elf/human fighter, aldori dueling sword. Possible archetypes, Aldori(Aundurian) Swordlord, Free Hand or Weapon Master.

A finesse based build, skilled in family's hereditary dueling style. These all cover the salient points of the style I'm going for, quick, various tactics (ie disarm) available, skilled with specific weapon. I've heard however that Weapon Master isn't worth it past 4 levels, hence its a base for Duelist prc. The Swordlord gives up weapon training for a "disarming strike" ability, damage on a disarm. Empty Hand just seems kind of ehh, might be worth more if I was able to multi into rogue for some sneak attack.

2. A Valenar elf, twf with double scimitar. Possible archetypes, Dawnflower Dervish or Mobile Fighter.

Anybody who knows anything about Eberron gets it. Glory seeking warrior, descended from a line of elves that set aside Valenar traditions of stealth/guerrilla warfare and fight straight up. These two are mostly the same, Dawnflower giving some more "elfy" things like moving through difficult terrain, Mobile seems superior overall, would just like some confirmation.

Please, any thoughts on what might be the most useful for either build would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time
