Thanks for the link, I really appreciate it. There were several things on that thread that answered questions I had.

I know this thread is old, but this is exactly what I'm trying to do. I have a few questions though, so I hope you guys are still around.

One: does using the long hammer (reach) work well for a bull rush build?

Two: how would the dwarven boulder helmet work paired with the long hammer? It is just a melee weapon, isn't it? How would I efficiently threaten at both five and ten feet?

Sorry if these are noob questions, but I am fairly new to pathfinder.

Lemeres is offering good advise too, in case you are not comftable with the dump stats (mostly Wisdom). IMO it is worth it for the increased damage fighter offers, especially if an allied caster buffs you with a protection from evil. Will saves will be better than they look because of your +2 racial saving throw bonus against spells and spell-like abilities. Couple it with a trait like Carefully Hidden for +1 Willsave bonus and your will be more resistant than the average fighter (the other trait will probabaly be defender of the society for a +1 AC bonus).

Of course, you both have great advice here, and I really appreciate it. These builds just aren't seeming to fit with the backstory I'm wanting to base this character on. I decided to do something a little different, I went two-handed fighting with the dwarven longhammer. I'll save the double weapon for another character where my backstory isn't inhibiting me as much.

Both of the traits you mentioned are amazing; sadly however, I cannot use them because I do not own the books that they come from.

Thanks again to both you and Lemeres for all your help.

Actually with 20pb (this is legal for PFS right?) the Two-Weapon Warrior has the potential for a stronger character than a TWF Ranger. Check this guide.

You can follow the Two-Weapon Warrior suggestion build as-is by changing only the weapon focuses and the like for you Urgosh. Make sure that you read the tactics that are discussed.

EDIT: My stats for a Dwarf TWW would be (20pb):
Str 17 (+1 at 8 lvl), Dex 16 (+1 at 4, 12, 16 lvls), Con 12, Int 13 (for combat experise and trip feat chain), Wis 7 (+1 at 20 lvl), Cha 7
After racial you have 14 con, 9 wis and 5 cha.

Enjoy your quasimodo ;) (aside the joke it is a good build)

Thanks! These stats are similar to what I was considering, and that guide is great. I'll keep your advice in mind.

I'm trying to build a Dwarf Fighter for PFS, centered around using the Dwarven Urgrosh. I'm having trouble with what stats to buy, or whether or not I should use the Two-Weapon Warrior Archetype.

I understand that the Ranger is better suited for TWF, but due to the back story I want to use I'm leaning toward using the fighter. Has anyone here successfully built a double-weapon focused Dwarf Fighter?

I'm not opposed to going with a ranger, I'm just trying to find the best build to match what I want to do, and I think Fighter fits the my character's back story better.
