ranger 1/paladin 2/ fighter xx

str14
dex18
con12
int10
wis10
cha12

how does this sound for the 2-weilding char, to work as a scout/wizardslayer/support tank ?

also, abilities/feats suggestions appritiated

i thought of dash & dirty fighting in addition to the usuall power attack/cleave/great cleave

I think you spent too many points in too many places. 14 strength and 12 con is not the stuff great tanks are made of. If you want a char that can effectively backstab wizards go for a rogue, or a fighter/rogue. Leave the paladinclass out, you'll only get the penalty in xp.
Go for Dash and any feat that'll improve your backstabbingattacks, like Crippling Strike and stuff.

this is not supposed to be the main tank, i plan on a dwarf fighter/barbarian for that. and another full-time rogue will cover the sneak attack. this on is supposed to be a more of a finesse warrior... and seems like a good place for those 2 paldin levels. and it gives me the chance to start him as a ranger, for some roleplaying/2ed nostalgy reason i cannot myself fully undrstand... my other option for this role is rogue 2/ranger 1/fighter XX... will this be better?

you can tinker those stats a bit more.

wis could be lower, for a higher charisma you won't cast and spells anyway, and the cha bonus to saves will cancel out on the will save penalty. plus you get a few more points of healing.

int may be a little too high.

you could shave off a few dex points if you want to cat's grace this guy a lot.

those points could go to str & con.

str16
dex16
con12
int 8 (really you can set this as low as you want, or as low as you feel comfortable in doing)
wis 8
cha16

that gives you a little more punch, and does not give up all that much.

you will be slightly frail w/ the lower con, you could split str & con more ie 14 / 14

feat suggestion -

focus & ws longsword (main hand), focus & ws small blades (off hand)

mace / club may be another good weapon.

as is rapid shot + bow, high dex + ftr bab makes for a very nice archer.

power attack is nice (need 13+ str iirc) (but really cleave / great cleave would be a waste on this char)

luck of heroes, iron will (boosts saves)

improved critical & dirty fighting (i'm not certain of the int requirement)

later on dodge & heroic inspiration.

a good charecter

if you really want to get a good charecter- just drop the paladin class.
the paladin is not much good- take barbarian or fighter instad...
if you want to crush your enemys- just put a high strength instead of charisma (a warrior dosen't need that!) and if you want- high constitution
