Alternatively, Uncanny Dodge (or Improved Uncanny Dodge if you already have the former) may be chosen.  This replaces the standard Fighter’s 11th and 17th level abilities.(I gave fighters extra class features at levels 5, 11, and 17.)  It may be a bit too strong.  I think the added MAD and worse "good" save makes it balanced, but you could always remove the first level bonus feat and/or reduce it to d8 hit die.</blockquote>
