Yes, Slashing Grace (using a scimitar). Or you could use and Agile Dueling Sword or Rapier. Well, the damage does feel a little underwhelming so far (was playing a Str Vivisectionist before...), but can Nova a little with touch spells and I hope that once I'm able to provide higher weapon enchantments, those little pluses will start to add up (like 2x +d6 elemental and also Keen).
On the upside, I like the AC & Mirror Image a lot. And since apprently a lot of end game enemies use touch attacks, it should be even better then.
Later on I will also add Int to damage vs most enemies, so will benefit from increasing both Dex and Int. Plus Greater Weapon Spec for another +4, Aracane Strike another +4, MAYBE Piranha Strike. Hope to eventually have a weapon that will effectively be:
+7 weapon with +2d6 bane+d6frost+d6shock+d6fire+d6acid. Or simply a +7 +2d6 bane Brilliant Energy blade (ignores armor and shield) on top of whatever other enchantments it had (Mageblade, shock, thunder?).
That is no longer Challenging since the biggest advantage of enemies getting +2 to all rolls is removed. That is normal difficulty with enemy damage multiplier being x1 instead od x0.8I think you would probably be fine as long as you were willing to lower the difficulty some. I tend to play on Challenging, but with the monster strength reduced to normal and don't really need to optimize much.

You could use the foresight spell. Endgame only, though, since it's level 9 (wizards and druids):on the other hand you cant wear any of those nice end game armors.
first round (when flat footed) you are very vulnerable
You COULD get Uncanny Dodge from some other class (Rogue, Defender, even Barbarian if not lawful), but I don't think its worth the loss of high level abilities, enchantments such as Brilliant Energy and spells.
You do get to add your Int to your Initiative. You could even go crazy and pick Improved Initiative along with it. You'd rarely loose the Initiative game then, I imagine.
As for the armor, if Lawful Good, he can wear +5 Dodge robes.... along with +8 Bracers and potentially +5 Magic Vestment enhancement. What more armor do you want?
Cool, thankslevel 16+
No spells? No thanks!2-Handed Fighter is fun, for non-munchkins. Pretty passive gameplay (auto-attack pretty much, unless you want to use maneuvers), but damn, the damage output is snazzy. I fought the Stag Lord the other day, and got a crit with 53 damage on the assassin near him. Using a greatsword +1.
Between the 2 handed +1 bab/+1 damage line for this kit, and then the enhanced power attack/chop/etc line, the fighter focus/specializations feats, and the regular figher bab, this is gonna be fun.
