Okay so I recently decided to try out FVS and decided I was going with a melee build using scimitars, with some okay-ish casting ability.

My original plan was:
-Race: elf
-Stats: 16 STR, 15 DEX, 14 CON, 8 INT, 14 WIS, 9 CHA
-Level build: 20 fvs (that DR was looking nice)
-Feats: Toughness, Empower Spell, TWF, ITWF, GTWF, Imp. Crit: slashing, Power Attack

However after running a bit I started to have some second thoughts on that plan.

New plan:
-Level build: 18/2 fvs/monk (for evasion and the feats)
-Feats: Add 2 of- Extend? (really leaning on this one for the short term buffs) Quicken? Maximize? Empower Healing?
