I would have to disagree I am good in combat and I gots a good range.

You would be a lot better if you stopped trying to specialize in 4 different weapons.

That is debatable. But I didn't know if Noobs would allow flaws, I didn't have the room for what I wanted, that and the money would not allow for it. But I am thinking of doing something else. Fighter gives me a lot of chances to branch off but it is just so plain.

Alright just give me a minute I have to bring them all up again. Do you want to know the weapon one or the hand to hand feat progression.

And which weapon do you want to know. I saw different things for weapons and just could not decide.

Jeebus Derp, I just wanted to know what feats you were going to pick to get where you wanted.

Well to sum it up I just manly wanted to make him increasingly skilled with the aspects of certain weapons. Such as the obvious weapon focus, or Spinning Halberd, I even considered Sudden Willow Strike at one point.

Yeah that sucks...you're wasting your fighter feats. If you want to be an unarmed fighter then either become a monk or forget about the weapon focuses. If you want to become a reach fighter then also forget about the weapon focuses and take feats for more attacks. If you are going to use a weapon focus, then take weapon focus for one weapon then build on that(Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, etc.). Otherwise it's useless and you're spreading yourself too thin. Here's how I would do it.

Feats: Weapon Focus Glaive, Weapon Focus Guisarme, Weapon Focus Halberd, Weapon Focus Ranseur, Improved unarmed strike, Stunning Fist.
Feats: Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack, Combat Reflexes. (For Dex-based attack machine).
Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Combat Expertise, Improved _, Improved _. (For Str-based attack machine).
Feats: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, Improved Critical, Combat Expertise, Improved _.(For specialized).

I was originally gonna do the monk thing but we were too low level for me to be happy with it, the weapon specialization was my default plan.
Feats: Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack, Combat Reflexes. (For Dex-based attack machine).
This was if I were going to become a dervish, I decided against it.
Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Combat Expertise, Improved _, Improved _. (For Str-based attack machine).
I was again going to go for this but I never have been a big fan of power attack and this guy was not really built to be a cleaver.
Feats: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, Improved Critical, Combat Expertise, Improved _.(For specialized).
Default plan, but in the end decided to go with a variety of weapons on hand, including unarmed combat.

Your variety is not even a variety...they're just teeny variations on the same weapon. At least make them different weapons.

Well there really isn't much difference between any of the weapons aside from Damage, Crit range, and Damage type. The only thing my weapons are missing are bludgeoning and a long range weapon. I can use unarmed attacks to make up for the lack of bludgeoning. Would it really be better if I had a Great sword, A Scythe, A Ranseur, and a Rapier?

I'm just trying to specialize in combat in general. Sure it could have been done better, but right now I like her as is.
