So I've been toying with an idea for a twf as well. Dwarf 9/8/3 Fighter/Ranger/Monk. Character I intend to inflict this on has mostly plus 3 tomes - I plan on it being max strength, 14 starting dex to qualify for Greater TWF. Only one past life - ranger.

Highlights:
Centered D-axes with a x7 critical multiplier in LD (Headmans chop etc)
95 non equipment based positive spellpower (7 action points) plus a few more from spellcraft and INT bonus
Empower heal
45 PRR before gear - Earth stance in grandmaster form, iron skin, Two weapon defense, Tempest improved parrying (a steep cost of a feat and  6 AP for the last 15, but it can be fit in)
7 bonus feats from fighter and monk, plus the autogrants from ranger
100% offhand proc

Downside:
Only 10% innate healing amp
Low innate doublestrike
Evasion only, not Improved Evasion with a 40ish reflex save
Single Target DPS - the single target will die fast, but the lack of hitting everything else in the area hurts
General lack of dwarven axes other than lootgen that are worth a fuck.

Purchased feats will include Greater TWF, possibly Oversized TWF, Two weapon defense (just to squeeze out the last bit of PRR), Empower Heal, Magical Training, Cleave, Great Cleave
Epic feats include Overwhelming critical, Perfect TWF, Blinding Speed

So its a bit of a niche build. It should perform well in boss fights and also when you have to take down a caster or casters quickly. General trash clearing it should be OK but nothing to write home about - unless you like letters about killing things one at a time.

Please trash as needed, I'd like the input.

8 -> 9 fighter = +1 reflex & will + 10hp
3 -> 4 monk = +1 all saves +2% dodge + 8hp

I'd go for an 8/8/4.  9th fighter seems stupid.

If Turbine ever gets off their lazy asses and gives us the Racial PrE's that they initally promised, I was thinking of LRing my Drow Fighter to 15 Monk/5 Fighter.  (The idea of a “Quivering Rapier” build sounds funny.)

i ended up lring that drow pally into a drow fvs

N-n-n-n-NECRO!

If going D-Axe dwarf, is it worthwhile trying to get THF feats in here too, for better glancing blow damage?  Or is that just too high an opportunity cost in terms of feats?

Yeah, I know I was going to do the dwarf TWF thing months ago; I've just had a lot going on 

That is exactly what I meant... 

Well damn.  I was sure I remembered getting glancing blows from D-axes on my exploiter dwarf back in the day.  :/

Ah well, thanks for saving me some effort! 

at update 21 with all the new wyrmcrafted weapons seems like we can see again people around with twf khops?
