Hello everbody long time troller Second time poster.
My buddy is Remaking Red hand of Doom Campaign to fitt Patherfinder.
Here a little background.
Red Hand of Doom
Growing up in Elsir Vale is not always the most exciting place. It is nice to be thought of as royalty but that gets old fast. Sure there were the occasional skirmishes with the orc tribes to the north in the Wyrmsmoke Mountains but the Lion Guard and Dennovar Blades always dealt with it and sent them scampering back. But now something more sinister rises, tension mounts in the vale as rumors of a combined force of orcs, hobgoblins and worse run rampart. This might be it, this might be the action you have been waiting for to prove yourself. But are you ready to face the Red Hand of Doom?
Background
In this module you will be playing a member (either by joining or being born into) a High House or Guild House. Thought of as semi royalty in the area, both types of houses carry with them power and prestige.
Classes Available
You may play any of the following Classes: Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Sorcerer, Alchemist, Oracle, Paladin, Bard, Rogue, Ranger, Monk, Druid, Cavalier, Inquisitor, or Magus.
For Divine Classes you will be part of the Church of the Twin Sisters (Iomede & Serenrae).
For both Arcane & Divine casters we will be using the Spell Matrix Mana system - http://www.dragonarmyone.com/Home/index/fantasy-house-rules/character-creat ion2/magic option
You may choose human, half-elf, dwarf, halfling, Warforged (Ironborn), Shifter, or Changeling,
For more information on Character Creation please see my page at http://www.dragonarmyone.com/Home/index/fantasy-house-rules/character-creat ion2
You may also find information on the Pathfinder Reference Site http://www.d20pfsrd.com
In addition, because your character will be part of a High House or Guild House your will be awarded at first level the following:
300gp Starting cash
Knowledge History, Geography , Local and Nobility are all class skills
Bonus +2 Skill points
In addition you may also choose one of the following:
Bonus Feat at 1st level and a bonus trait at first level
or
Either one magic weapon of +1 Value, or one magic armor of +1 value, or one wondrous item of 2000gp value or less
And last you must choose a Guild House or High House to be a part of though your class may limit your choices. Each House offers contacts you can use for favors or information. You may also gain a bonus feat, bonus skills or bonus traits. As you level additional advantages will become available to you from each particular house.
This is te House I picked.
House Bristeir
This house is run by a group of 5 retired adventurers known as the Dennovar Blades. Currently they are taking in trainees, and will school anyone for the right price. Rumor suggest that the Leader Ysidel, has been very lavish with his spending over the past few years and the house is now having some money trouble. Gain one additional bonus feat.
If you join this house you must be a Fighter, Ranger, Magus, Oracle, Rogue.

First off, your will save sucks. I played a two-weapon warrior from 1-12 with a wis 10 and at least once a session I pretty much had to sit out because I was caught in some kind of spell.
I'd recommend half elf or dwarf. If Half elf, get the dual minded alt racial ability. If Dwarf, pick up the steel soul feat. Either way, grab the trait Indomitable Faith (or another trait that grants +1 to will saves), and pick up Iron Will and possibly Improved Iron Will as soon as you can.

Are you set on dual-wielding? My opinion is that if your fighter picked up a greatsword he may be better off.
For example let's say both fighters have to move to get into position:
TWF: +5 vs. AC, 1d6+4. (scimitar)
2HF: +5 vs. AC, 2d6+6 (greatsword)
Now both fighters are next to their foe. Damage on a full attack:
TWF +1/+1 vs. AC, 2d6+6
2HF: +5 vs. AC, 2d6+6
Assuming both fighters drop their foe...if they both have to move again to fight another...you're back to 1d6+4. While the 2HF is doing full damage, every time, whether he has to move or not.
Other items I'd consider looking at or planning for:
Your will save is too low, you will be unhappy quite often.
Your reflex save is low, how do you plan to offset area spells and affects?
What happens when you don't get full attacks?
What do you plan to do during non-combat encounters?
What is the DM's view on wealth? As a TWF you will be spending twice as much as everyone else on weapons.
With that many bonus feats I'd strongly consider a ranged build...and pick up Iron Will early.

If you don't go with the Iron Will feat you're going to want either a teammate to give you some sort of Will save buff or get a cloak of resistance +4 to help with will saves. Really just anything you can think of.
Once you hit 11 or 12 it doesn't matter if your twf or thf they're both excellent, it just takes twf longer to "get there". Given the extra feats you received @ first level TWF is a great choice.
