He can attack as a minor and uses his bare hands. He is a dwarf (obviously) so thats covert. As weapon it looks like bare hands can also say "spiked gauntlets" (Adventurer´s Vault) These are Off-Hand weapons, so a two weapon class seems appropiate. There we have the Ranger and the Fighter. Both are able to fight properly with the Spiked Gaunlets. But now look at the third ability "Dodge and Throw". A counterattack after an enemy missed the Dwarf. He slides him and knocks him prone. Now have a look at the Ranger Level 2 Utility "Unbalancing Parry". If missed, slide to square adjacent and you gain Combat Advantage. Very similar.But how to get the additional Minor Attack? Fortunately Martial Power solved this, by granting the Ranger minor attacks as Encounter Powers. For Example Ruffling Sting, Off-Hand Strike and Twofold Flinch.Finally, if you take the Two-Weapon Ranger Class Feat, you get Toughness for free, increasing the Dwarfs HP. Also a Beast Ranger would also work, as you do not need the ability to wield two non-offhand weapons.My advice would be a Dwarfen Two-Weapon Ranger, focussing on the Spiked Gauntlets. His abilities would probably be (not optimized, but rounded. I don´t like 18 as a start value. Costs too much.) Str 16Con 16Dex 14Int 11Wis 14Cha 8His skills: (Dungeoneering (he is a Dwarf after all), Endurance (see his monster profile), Perception (He is a thug at the harbour, he needs to see things), Athletics and Intimidate (should be able to get that over his background)Feats: Two-Weapon Fighting (he will want Two-Weapon Defence at level 2 and then Expertise at Level 4 if the DM is not giving it for free as I do)Powers: Twin Strike, Hit&Run, Off-Hand Strike, Hunt´s End (seems more appopiate for a thung then Off-Hand Parry or something else with more finesse) On Level 2 I would take Unbalancing Parry, on Level 3 Ruffling Sting.This guy would have a good amount of HP (33), a mediocre AC (Hide + Dex 14), the ability to make minor attacks and at Level 2 the ability for something like Dodge and Throw. Again, if your group is bit more into optimizing, you would have to rise the Str a bit, lowering probably the Wis and Con.</blockquote>
