Infact, if you spend a little money on adamantite armor giving the fighter DR 3/- Then the increase in damage taken falls by 12 points. That would require changing the armor from mithrial and a whole new set of maths, but the increase in damage taken can be offset to about 25.And when both of then are buffed the increase in damage taken is only 4 points, but the increase in damage dealt is around 40So if You can get you buffs up, the fighter is much better than the Dwarven defender. If you caught with your pants down, the natuaral DR and ac bonus of the dwarven defender wins out over the greater weapon specialisation.MajerePosts you the level 20 fighter you asked for.</blockquote>
