If you do plan on switching from axe to longspear dependent on opponents proximity to you, you'd do well to to take Quick Draw asap.
There ISNT a speed issue- a dwarf in medium armour moves as fast as any other medium standard PC race- 20 feet.
Why the fighter level Dip? Straight cleric will serve you better if your set On being a cleric at all.
Dwarf Fighter Cleric of Erastil who (in his mind) failed to protect his community. Tried his damdest but alot of dwarves still died.
That's like a 9 on the Dwarf Cliché Scale. I think as much as 70% of all dwarves are survivors of big slaughters where their clans have been wiped out.
I think the rest are those who are not 100% true to the stereotype and have thus been exiled by their clan (things like dwarf wizards or even fighters who think that swords are actually quite nice as a weapon).
I could not care less about builds, but this struck me as odd.
Why not break out of the circle of bad stereotypes and play an original dwarf for once?
He's a nature cleric, so make him a proper dwarven nature cleric. One that overlooks his dwarf community's agricultural ventures. Work together with the GM to determine something that fits his campaign that could threaten the dwarves' acres (some weird plant disease that threatens to obliterate the dwarves' stockpile of foodstuffs and which is linked to the BBEG somehow; or maybe just monsters that attack the farmers and trample their crops, and they're employed by the party's enemies).
Sorry KaeYoss, but I LIKE the dwarf militant stereotype.
I'm not talking about militant dwarves. I'm talking dwarves that turned adventurers after their clans have been slaughtered.
Judging from the average dwarf character back story, your average fantasy gaming world must lose 99% of its dwarf population each year, and somehow, they manage to shore up their numbers fast enough to be prepared for the next big dwarf extinction a year later(and not just youngsters - they managed to shore up their numbers of all demographics, like venerable elders and old matriarches).

Well, it the in defense cliche, it makes a certain amount of sense. Dwarfs are typically a clannish society, and if the dwarf is wardering sans clan it begs an explanation. The most obvious explanations are:
A. the dwarf lost his clan thus has no clan to have abandonedor
B. The dwarf didn't fit the clan stereotype, and was a pariah.
What we need are explanations for why a dwarf would leave his clan and not make it a court order.
