61 point buy :) I think you can do pretty much anything and be a death machine.
There are some cool lore-warden ideas in the weapon finesse thread.

I think 14 con is normal and your level 7 ability is contingent on knowledge checks. You might consider swapping con and int.
You're also not doing anything with improved unarmed strike. I'd take that into either the grapple chain or a style chain if you want to have it. Crane Style would synergize nicely with Falcata/Fist TWF, though Falcata may not be worth the feat over scimitar or longsword when you're trying to do maneuvers and TWF and anti-caster stuff in one character.

I have no idea what Superior Unarmed Strike is (I couldn't find it in PRD or d20PFSRD), but it should probably be changed to Iron Will.
I think its a feat from the Tome of Battle. Increases your base unarmed damage, based on your level. Goes up to about 2d6.
Not quite a Monk, but he'll be handy with his fists.

Superior Unarmed Strike was from 3.5
SUPERIOR UNARMED STRIKEYour unarmed strikes have become increasingly
deadly, enabling you to strike your
foes in their most vulnerable areas.
Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike,
base attack bonus +3.
Benefit: You deal more damage with your unarmed strikes,
as shown on the table below.
Character Level Unarmed Damage
3rd 1d4
4th–7th 1d6
8th–11th 1d8
12th–15th 1d10
16th–20th 2d6
Special: If you are a monk, you instead deal unarmed
damage as a monk four levels higher.

I though it might be mentioned, yeah I probably do need some more in the unarmed feat department but the simple basis was to twf that style, to many year of playing games like soul caliber. Though, thank you I appreciate the info

Exactly, not trying to be a monk but I do like the ability to have better damage. I dunno I guess I'm a bit spoiled on the feat I try to get a hold of it when ever I can. I understand the monk progression the unarmed damage should go up as a means of showing his study or use. I don't see how a fighter picks up unarmed strike and then is never able to progress it further then a 1d3. And thank you for the info I appreciate it.

Because a fighter has a better means of increasing unarmed damage: weapon training and weapon specialization feats. Guaranteed damage > rolled. A level 20 fighter unarmed damage will be 1d3 + 8, average of 10 damage. Superior Unarm strike average damage at 20 is only 7.

I agree guaranteed damage is probably better then rolled but numbers-wise I'm not to concerned. At the time I look at stuff I just go with things that work in my head. Thank you I appreciate the input.

Hmm I do have to admit though I know I mentioned the character was abit inspired by soul calibur but time to come clean it was actually put together on a whim as the gm mentioned make a power ranger. Seeing as I have to much time on my hands atm I took him up on it. The idea is to fight Sword/Unarmed and to do the cheesey fight scene antics in such a power rangers way.

Actually he didn't do a point buy system, the stat method for this one was 10 +1d8

The finesse thread was a pretty good read though in this case I think I will stick to strength.
