Its possible w/o having an insanly high INT score by taking the Education feat a 1st level, being a 'knowledgable fighter' taking Know:Arcane from 1st level and then take Sorcerer at 5th level to get your spellcasting requirement. This also allows you to get weapon focus & specialization in the weapon of your choice. I plotted a Gold Dwarf version at one point as well.  With War Mage you could sub-out the Sorcerer level with War Mage instead and take the Battle Caster feat to wear medium armor (or heavy armor made of light materials like Mithril or darkwood) and not suffer arcane spell failure chance at all. Good protection, ability to cast some magic all of which combat related, strong and tough! Paired with a 2-handed weapon like a greatsword or greataxe its a beast (well a Dragon.. actually... only half adraong... but you get the idea)Another of my favorites was a Human fighter w/ a good dex (+2 or +3 dex modifier) and a solid strength score. Take combat reflexes and weild a Glaive (or other 'reach' weapon). I think Hero's of Battle or one of the recent Dragon Magazines has a feat in their that makes it so you can use the butt end of a pole-arm as well if need be. Its an expecially powerful combo at low levels where Attacks of Oppertunity could kill or cripple an uncommoning attacker.  I'm sure I could prolly do an even better build now than I had back in 3.0 when I played this guy.And a character i'm designing for a friend is a Warforged Fighter/Juggernaught thats going to specialize in his Slam Attacks and bull-rushing. It looks like its going to be alot of fun for him to play what with the way Warforged are in the first place and all. I'd suggest maybe trying to find a prestige class that apeals to you that is in the fighter theme and go with it or use the alternate core classes available. A Hex Blade or Scout could have a very interesting feel or flavor that might apeal to you. If you usually play spellcasters consider giving the Hex Blade a go as a hybrid character of sorts.</blockquote>
