I can't believe these are bonuses from Hill Dwarf and neither from the Reaper feat, they would be too good to all weapons and the race/feat would be quite too powerful IMHO...So I'm inclined to say that they both are Fighter features, the additional +1 to attacks might be the usual BAB (+0 to all other classes), but note that it does not increase in the next 2 levels. The +2 damage could be a replacement from a fixed or slowly increasing BAB, and in fact it does increase by +1 at level 3.Finally, I've heard about the increased HD for the Hill Dwarf, but I am not sure... it feels a bit odd that they get this in addition to Con bonus, when they could have just given +2 to Con (I know it's not exactly the same). Why can't it be simply that the base Fighter HD is d12?</blockquote>
