I've got a 7 clr / 1 ftr toon (this is my first toon) which I'm considering swapping out feats on. This is what I've currently got

Lvl 1: Least dragonmark of Warding
Lvl 1: Two handed fighting (Ftr bonus)

Lvl 3: Toughness

Lvl5: mental Toughness

My goal is to be make a "fun to play" battlecleric primarily soloing. My end goal is to be 18 clr/2 ftr.


I've got enough experience to get my next level and want to be sure I pick smart feats. I'm leaning towards taking my second ftr level to get the additional feat. If I go this way, I'd pick up:

Lvl 8: Extend or Quicken Spell
Lvl 8: Improved 2 hand fighting (ftr bonus)


First, is it wise to pick these level 8 feats?


Second, I want to swap out my the dragon mark for another feat. However, it looks like the only two real choices are either Toughness or weapon focus. What are the thoughts of the forum.


Thank you all for your advice.
