Are there any Dwarf fighter-centric prestige classes?

[aegrist13]

I have a friend that is about to join an on-going Rise of the Runelords AP and we can't seem to find any prestige classes that suit a dwarven great weapon fighter.
Any help would just be great.
Thanks.

Stalwart Defender in the APG. That's about it.

That seemed to always be the one area where there were lacking PrCs in 3.5, ones for specific weapon styles. There were a few here and there, but even Complete Warrior was a bit of a disappointment, and we never got a Complete Combatant (CWar II) at the end of 3.5, so unless you want to go looking for something from Tome of Battle, there's not a lot out there. Did you look at the archetypes for combat style-devoted Fighters in the APG, by any chance?

Two-handed fighter is really cool. You may not want a prestige class with that.

Stalwart Defender doesn't fit at all and the archetypes in the APG kind of tempt him, but not exactly what he's looking for. I've scoured every PFRPG official book/pdf we have access to plus the PFSRD and no luck.
Thanks.

The Faction Guide has the 9th Batallion which is a sort of Foreign Legion for Dwarves iirc.

It also has a new feat Let them Come and some new mundane armour modifications

What's his idea/concept?

[Umbral Reaver]

Is the concept a two-handed fighter? The best prestige class for that is more fighter. You don't need a PrC to fill a concept that already exists in a base class.

Like Thanael asked, what's his idea/concept? If he just wants to hit things REALLY hard, the 2h fighter archtype and the vital strike chain do that really hard. Though he's only going to have one attack per round. But at level 16 that one attack is going to be doing (unless I got my math wrong) 4x weapon + 16 (assuming 18 str to start, +4 belt and 4 stat boosts) + 24 (power attack).

Multiclassing out of the base classes isn't always the best idea, they're usually pretty awesome 1-20.

Why does he want to take a PrC?
I mean what doesn't he like the base fighter class (or one of the archetypes)?

[Jaryn Wildmane]

Why not re-flavor the Living Monolith to be more dwarf like. He could be some type of Vault Guardian who watches over the spirits of his ancestors and the recent events in the AP have somehow disturbed the spirits and he is looking to put them back to rest.

[Mike Schneider]

The best PrC for dwarven fighters is two levels of barbarian.

[LazarX]

Actually Paizo folks keep talking about going the opposite route, such as de-Elfing the Arcane Archer. The Stalwart Defender is a de-dwarfed Dwarven Defender.

This

One thing I like about Pathfinder (over 3.5) is that the base classes are worth taking to 20. In 3.5 they were just classes you were forced to take until you qualified for your PrC(s).

There is no shame in running straight fighter. Take it and carve a bloody path of ruin through your foes.
