Feat advice for my Dwarven Warrior.

[lalallaalal]

I have a Dwarf Ranger 5/Fighter 4 that just reached 9th level and I'm having trouble planning out his feats for this level and the next few. I plan on taking Fighter levels the rest of the way. He pretty much just uses his hammer Whelm in combat, my DM has ruled I can make full attacks while throwing this weapon. The rest of the group is melee heavy. His build so far is:

Ranger 5/Fighter 4

Str 21
Dex 16
Con 19
Int 12
Wis 14
Cha 15

Feats: Point Blank Shot, Deadly Aim, Toughness, Vital Strike, Weapon Focus (warhammer), Big Game Hunter, and Dodge.

I was thinking weapon specialization and a feat from UC that allowed you to throw at adjacent enemies without provoking, I can't remember what it was called. I was also thinking about improved and greater vital strike for when I'm limited to one attack. I was also thinking about Additional Traits because I was shafted during character creation when it came to traits. Steel Soul looked like a better get than Iron Will due to a +2 against all spells. Thoughts?

I suggest to go for spell shield to deflect ranged touch attacks. Also I love steel soul, get it and iron will if you can.

If you are using your hammer as a ranged weapon, shouldn't precise shot be quite useful? You will probably attack in melee quite often.

Other than that, weapon specialization does sound good, and steel soul is obviously awesome. If you are going for additional traits, there was iirc a trait from the 5 peak mountains that gives you a +1 to saves vs spells again.

Precise shot will probably be taken eventually but it hasn't come up all that often. Also, with another feat I can throw while in melee without provoking, which is what I'd rather do. I'll probably take Weapon Specialization and Steel Soul at 9th and go from there.
