[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5628194, member: 97681"] Look into Deepwarden 2 (Races of Stone), its very nice. +Con to AC is wonderful, especially if you ignore Skip Williams' house rule that states that it is still capped by Max DEX bonus (a dumb rule at that). That alone will make you MUCH more tanky than Dwarven Defender ever will. Also, I like Exotic Weapon Master (Complete Warrior) for my dorfs. If you use an Urgrosh, you can hold it in both hands like a greataxe (to benefit from 2:1 PA and 1.5x +Str), and since its a double weapon, you can benefit from the Flurry of Strikes trick from EWM. -2 on all attacks for an extra swing at max attack bonus, except that unlike a monk, you'll probably have full BAB and a great Str score. Damage scales geometrically with more attacks, so this is a good thing. To polish it all off, Occult Slayer is pretty nice for shoring up defenses (Mind Blank as a class feature) and has that mistrust of magic feel, while Pious Templar gives Mettle, DR, bonus feats, and that devout dwarven feel. The paladin spells aren't bad either, if you look in Spell Compendium and Complete Champion. [/QUOTE]
