Keia, while he looks pretty good, isn't he supposed to be a dwarven base rather than a human base?

Dargo looks pretty good. If Dargo is Two-Weapon Fighting with Dwarven Waraxes, the penalty should be -4 not -2.

How about the Dwarven Urgrosh? You can get the weapon focus and weapon specialization with it, and it will count for both ends. Just a thought.
Edit: And you can switch to the two-handed power attack as a free action too.

OK, I am thinking about buying down ECL as Keia suggested...
But the UA method of doing it is a big advantage for low-ECL characters, while high-ECL characters gain no benefit from it.
So I want to propose the following changes. If people want to do this, then we will. Otherwise, we'll stick with things the way they are.
1- Characters start out with 39,600xp (10%, or 3,600xp over 9th level)
2- Starting at level 3 and every third level thereafter, you can spend a number of XP equal to 1,000 x current level to reduce ECL by 1. (This is much better than the UA progression.) So a ECL +1 character could buy down and have 36,600xp (still Level 9) and be an ECL +0 character. An ECL +2 or higher character could buy down and have 30,600xp (Level 8) and lower their ECL by 2. Is this too confusing?
3- You can also spend xp for item creation.
4- Your hp gets lowered. You get max hp for your first HD, then 75% for each HD after that. If 75% is a fraction, round down (but keep track of the fraction, to be added next level)
The net result would be that each character would have an extra class level, but slightly lower hp. What do you think? Balanced? Too late in the game for this?

Eh, I'm cool with how we are. And besides, I like hit points.

I'm for buying off the ECL, but it always depends on how long the game will run. I think buying off the ECL is justified as you increase level because the template just isn't worth as much at higher levels.
Plus, based on your system, I don't lose any HD that I haven't already lost from a 3 ECL template.
