[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1149963, member: 478"] Well, I'd get the basics first before going for more fancy stuff. That is... Power Attack, Cleave. Other than that, I find Improved Trip to be a highly useful feat for a melee fighter and you do qualify for Combat Expertise. Too bad your Cha is so low, so Divine Might is out. Metamagic is probably useless too, as your caster level will be fairly low, but maybe Quicken Spell could be worthwhile at really high levels. If you don't get multiclass penalties, you might want to consider to get more Cleric than Ranger levels (2:1 ratio maybe). I wouldn't get another class, if you don't want to push it, altho 2 Fighter levels don't really seem too far out there (resulting in Fighter 2 / Ranger 6 / Cleric 12 laaaaater). Improved Shield Bash could give you better AC while still being able to use TWF. You could use the shield attack for tripping. That would definitely be a cool sight to imagine, the dwarf pushing his opponent on the ground with his shield and following up to smite him with the warhammer, once he is on an equal level! :D So, to sum it up, my advice is... Power Attack Cleave Combat Expertise Improved Trip Improved Shield Bash If you get those 2 Fighter levels, you could also get Quicken Spell and something else (Leadership?). Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
