Need Advice for New THF

[EpicThoughts]

Hello everyone, new player here, thought I'd ask for some advice. I recently leveled to level 3 but have yet to train. What's the consensus on THF? I'd really like to take this character to level 20, and would prefer to focus on DPS. Here are my stats so far;

32 pt build

Str 16 (17)
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 12
Wis 14
Cha 8

Balance 2
Intimidate 4
Jump 4
Listen 2 (realize this might not have been the best choice)
Swim 4

Power Attack
THF
Weapon Focus- Slashing
Stunning Blow

Fighter Haste 1
Fighter Critical 1
Fighter Strategy; Stunning Blow 1
Human Improved Recovery 1
Fighter Strength 1

Where should I go from here? What should I be on the look out for? I just wrapped up the last quest on Snowy Side Korthos and am looking forward to making the trip to Stormreach once I finish the last Slayer quest in the wilderness.

Looks like a fairly standard THF Fighter.
Good choices for you feats.
But your starting stats could be better.

Str 16 (max this)
Dex 14 (doesn't do much for you)
Con 14 (the higher the better)
Int 12 (only use of int is to give you more skill points)
Wis 14 (really no reason to)
Cha 8

In terms of race: consider Warforged for THF benefits. (though human/dwarf aren't bad)

I agree with Goldeneye on everything except Wisdom. Getting your will saves up and any spell resistance up means you are not held during fights. If you are held any DPS you hoped to have become non existant, I am not saying to max it out and 14 may be a bit much, all my fighter builds have at least 12 and never below 10.

I am not big on any of the 20 second boosts but that is my preference. My first 2 hander is a dwarf kensai for greataxes with the dwarven axe enhancements he deals major damage, I also have a human 2 hander kensai for greatswords (built him to see if dwarves make the best pure fighters).

I may be wrong but you will need at least a 17 base strength to get Greater two handed, I would also suggest taking your slashing focus and specialization.
