So I've been mucking around with a Dwarf Fighter build to try out, and figured I'd build it out to level 10 and see how it looks. Looking for feedback on the overall build, as well as any specific Feats or other choices. I had a number of goals in mind, and I think I pulled most of them off.
(1) Decent saves (especially Will). Overall, I think I pulled this off. Vs. Dominate Person, e.g. I would have a +15 to save, which means it's probably a swing and a miss for most encounters.
(2) Ability to either melee or ranged attack decently. I leaned more towards melee, but overall think I'm okay at both. Ranged attacks more for fliers, or if I tactically want to stay at range.
(3) "Good enough" AC. 29 is nothing special, but I'm using a 2H weapon, and should be able to pump out pretty good DPS, including use of Lunge as necessary. Depending on the fight, I may quaff a potion of enlarge person, to generate some additional AoOs against normal enemies (or let me attack, e.g. Giants without eating AoOs).
(4) Skills I pretty much wrote off.
(5) Some adaptability. Extra weapon and shield for if I really feel I need the defense more than damage (seldom). Chain shirt for sleeping (yay for night ambushes). Alchemist's fire just in case. Various misc items (chalk, grapping hooks, etc) I didn't bother listing.
Problems I see:
(1) No good way to deal with invisible creatures. Considered getting Blind-Fight at next level. Pretty much relying on a Faerie Fire or Glitterdust right now.
(2) No flight or self-haste, though I will get those with higher WBL.
(3) Complete lack of skills. Not much to do about this one.
(4) Initiative is a bit low. I may pick up for Improved Initiative in a level or two.
Anyway, here is the guy I came up with. Curious about suggestions or comments people may have.

Well, I might take Blind Fight instead of GWF. You have plenty of +1 bonuses, but reducing a straight-up 50% miss chance should be more important.
