I've been working on a fighter build and I was wondering if I could get some opinions about it.
I'm planning to reincarnate my rogue so I decided to test out my build before I do it. So far it's exceeding my expectations.

Human fighter
stats are:
lvl 1
hp:40
Str 16
Dex 10
Con 18
Int 8
Wis 8
Cha 8

lvl 20
hp: 606
Str 20
Dex 10
Con 24
Int 8
Wis 8
Cha 8

Skill points placed into intimidate, balance, jump, swim and/or spot. Not decided on anything but intimidate.

I'm going to take the toughness feat for every regular one + the bonus feat you get as a human.
Any ability increases I put into Con to increase the hp.

I suspect the hp will be somewhere around 800 or higher when I add the equipment.
Since I'm gong to be reincarnating for the first time, I'll have a few extra ability points to spend.
I can either put it into str to increase it to 17 and throw the rest wherever, or put them into dex.

My goal here is to have an intimi tank character with higher hp.
I'm going to use some items to increase my skills instead of my enhancements. I'll be using those to increase my hp and attack power.

I'll be taking the toughness feat 8 times, which will increase my hp by a huge amount.

The bonus feats will look something like this

2 handed fighting
Weapon focus: Slashing
Weapon specialization: Slashing
Superior weapon focus: Slashing
Power Attack
Power Critical
Improved Critical: Slashing
Greater weapon specialization: Slashing
Greater Weapon Focus: Slashing
Cleave
Great Cleave

This is the first draft of my character. I'm currently running it through some quests to see what flaws it has.

What do you think? Suggestions appreciated.

Don't own a warforged and I'm going for the completionist feat. only counts if you're a pure class.

Although that is a better build than mine. It's got slightly more hp than I think mine will.

the completionist feat doesn't require a pure class. I believe all you need is more than 10 levels in whatever class your going for that life.

OP, I do not see an intimitank in your build, no feats, no ac. IMO, that's looks more like a mana sponge build with all that hp. 8 toughness is really foolish, giving a few up for feats such as stunning blow can make you a better contributor to the team. I also see cleave, great cleave and power critical. These are quite pointless since your tanking skills will suck and are better off just dpsing. The lack of weapon styles, ithf and gthf, means your dps is going to be low, esp with U7

Will this build be playable? Yes, will it be good? No.

You will not see the flaws until level 16-18 really, I am afraid that running through a few low level quests does not tell you anything...

Agree with Aranticus, you take way too many thoughness feats and ignore some of the best feats for a fighter.
