Any suggestions for a dwarven fighter build?
Any suggestions for a dwarven fighter build using a greataxe? My friend is currently using Fighter/FB/Weapon Master but he isn't sure what feats are best to get etc! Currently level 12.
I play Nedrin <3

Take a look here http://nwn2db.com/build/?58947
It has all it needs
Dex should be 14 for evasion to work, therefore you could drop INT to 13.

Has he unlocked his PRCs already?
If so, Steadfaster Determination is good feat to have. It lets you get your constitution modifier to your Will saves instead of wisdom.
Blindfight is another good feat to have because this server does have many mobs that cast spells that grant concealment.
If he is using a Greataxe, then Greataxe feats are good to have with the exception of 'Improved Critical Greataxe' as that won't stack with the Keen spell you can buy as a wand.
Melee Weapon Mastery Slashing is another good feat to have.
Knockdown to Improved Knockdown...
And perhaps Monkey Grip... in case your friend wants to use his Great axe with a shield. The extra AC is needed at times.

Karond is one of the most knowledgeable players I've met in my time here when it comes to building, right up there with MrM3ntalist, Invoker, BMD, Deathgrowl, etc... In the above link he outlines the ultimate build for a Dwarven Defender, which unless you specifically don't want a Dwarven Defender is a must have IMO. If I was building a Dwarf it would either be a Dwarven Defender or a Barbarian/Battle Rager.
Keep in mind that you could move things around and it will still be powerful, you just have to keep an eye on what you are losing and what you are gaining. For example, if you don't want Water Cleric for RP reasons drop it. Just understand you are losing evasion unless you get it from somewhere else. (for the record my understanding is Karond had excellent RP with this build, but I never personally RP'd with his character). Also, note that with the evasion change you either need to build for wearing Mithral Chainmail (14 DEX) or you should build knowing you won't have the benefits of evasion (though can still use Expose Weakness).

Thank you, guys. We are going to do an RCR for his level 13 character today when I get home from work sometime.
