Thanks for the replies!
Well, the wimpy elf (half elf actually) was required as I needed a cleric/mage! I *NEVER* multiclass my tanks because I know from experience that straight out fighters are the BEST fighters. "Hybrids", as I like to call them, may start out weak and grow stronger than a standard fighter, but the straight fighter is the immovable constant who you only have to worry about keeping alive, and he'll play his hand efficiently.
About the axe thing. I faulted in my starting proficiencies. For most of my fighters I did a split, two proficiency slots in large/giant with the exception of one, which i put large/bows.
I should have done large/axe or giant/axe instead. My logic behind the sword fetish is that a sword is usually the most common weapon in fantasy, so there wouldn't be any shortage of kick-ass swords to use. I did not foresee using an axe, and as I don't have any dwarfs in my party, I really wasnt compelled to use them.
HOWEVER, there came a time in the game when I had a limited amount of +2 swords available and at that time I broke out the axes, which I had been carrying around on my fighter/mule. So I did use them, if just briefly!
