Hi! Just a few questions here. I want to make an oversize dual wielding Fighter. I know how to make my own characters, like I understand the rules, how bright I am at doing it is questionable.Soooo:
1) Is taking a path, any kind, any good?
2) Is the Whirlwind path any good?
3) When you pick a path, are you locked into all the skills and feats it gives you, or can you pick and choose things here and there?
4) Can you take Toughness multiple times (as the path seems to indicate)?
5) Is it worth it to take Toughness... oh what was it... 3 times? I don't know how that stacks with the Toughness Enhancements. I assume you don't get 30 hp for having one Toughness Enhancement.
My hope was to dual wield Khopeshs early on, but this path seems to suggest "don't even try it until you're level 6". I could get TWF, Oversized TWF, and Khopesh sooner than level 6. Guess I'm trying to figure out which way to go. So thanks for any help!

Whirlwind Fighter Path
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Personaly I find myself either THF or SnB it until my BaB is high enough to TWF acurately... even on a ranger.
This does not mean you cannot feat in TWF early as those first six levels go very quickly...

It's not about BAB really.

Getting only 1 or 2 offhand attacks means you'll be better off with a falchion or maul (especially when the attack penalty and acquisition of weapons is factored in).
