I always liked big and heavy hitters. But at the same time I didn't feel too attached to great axes and whatever else, but instead always liked 2H sword. And so in NWN too, my fighter went with Greatswords and is specialized to the max with it. And I don't regret it. He does great damage and also has very good skills in Parry. In fact, Parry is probably highest "specialized" skill he has
He also has Improved Disarm and Greatsword here is especially good, due to being large weapon and thus having a bonus while disarming.
With easier foes the fights are over pretty fast (well, at lvl 20 anyway), as the damage done is quite big. With harder mobs - into Parry mode and disarm as needed - and the fights become mainly a fun to watch show, how the "big and bad" enemies try to hit my warrior, and get smacked flat while doing so. And my packs gets slowly filled up with their weapons, what I got while disarming them. Good additional cash income
But I guess it depends on the race, i.e. smaller race with less HP does need more armor. My fighter is human, with good DEX and Dragon Armor (well, the chain version) and his AC is well over 30. Frankly I played through the game 2 times, each time with a fighter, until I had it all "figured" out what I want to see in a fighter, and made this 3rd one, whom I enjoy [img]smile.gif[/img]
