Heres a bit of a challenge and I imagine it can be done many different ways.
I wanted to build a Thug character. It has to be a 28 point build and using only the 3.5 PHB for feats and skills and classes. I envisioned that he would be a fighter/rogue and his stats would probably be: S:16 D:14 C:14 I:12 W:10 CH:8.
I think the feats are what I struggle with most. I can see MANY combos. Dodge, Mobility, Improved Unarmed Strike, Improved Grapple, Toughness, Power Attack, etc.
I am looking for ideas that would fit a Thug born to the streets.
Can't wait for the reponse!

I'm not sure if this shouldn't belong to the Character Optimization board, but here's my thought:

Maximize your intimidate skill.

Whenever possible, take the Stunning Fist feat; stun your foes, and tie them up so they become helpless. Is you choose to be LE, you could even take some Monks levels to get some feats for free. Terrorise the citizen, harm them, but don't kill them since most are more useful alive than dead.

If you play in FR, choose Loviatar as your deity; whenever you torture someone, claim that it is only for teaching, not for your own amusement. But you have the right to love your job though! :devil:
