Not same class, same race and same subset of a class (although, arguably, you probably wouldn't see a tempest dwarf ... although a two-handed weapon wielder wouldn't be out of the question with some of the cool superior weapons available to the dwarf). Also considering that the dwarf does not get a bonus to the STR, and gets a bonus to CON and WIS ... it's not going to have a lot of viable stat arrays to choose from and still be a viable fighter. That is going to further limit the power and feat choices. Also, as a dwarven fighter, it's almost a sure thing that he'll take the dwarven weaponry feat ... so by limiting the dwarf to axes and hammers in almost all cases, you are going to have less variation of feats and less variation of powers, since those choices are going to, in part, be based on weapon choice. Now if you don't choose a race/class combination that obviously leads to a single build type with limited options, there are going to be other examples that are more versatile. Humans are the easy example, as they can go with just about any sub-build without much worry. The sword and shield fighter has a number of builds, as it doesn't lock you into a specific weapon choice, and the secondary stat associated with it (Con or Dex, not to mention Wisdom which works for most things in general).</blockquote>
