You're missing Blind Fight.

*nods* unfortunately he doesn’t get it. Slamming WM into a DD build is a pain in the butt, add in the fact that DD isn’t very good... only option is to dump improved disarm, improved expertise, or 3/- dr.
*shrugs* not a great build hehe

Re: My Dwarven Weapon Master (Dwarven Defender / Weapon Master / Fighter)
Blind Fight is essential.. More so than improved disarm or 3 EDR. Disarm itself isn't even great and only works on a fraction of enemies.. Knockdown is a better disabler unless you have RP reasons.
EDR isn't that great anyway. You won't be that much more survivable if it's 18 vs 15. No Blind Fight means you're screwed against anything with concealment.

Unfortunately you cannot take more than 10 levels in a PrC pre-epic. You are currently at 13 levels. 3 of those levels just would not work sadly.
Re: My Dwarven Weapon Master (Dwarven Defender / Weapon Master / Fighter)
You can, however, do this:
Pre-epic:
Levels 1-7 Fighter.
Levels 8-14 WM.
Levels 15-20 DD.
Epic:
Levels 21-22 Fighter.
Levels 23-30 DD.
Trade Improved Disarm for Blind Fight and KD.
You also wrote "any alignment". DD has to be lawful.

Nice feedback dudes! I’ve missed character planning. I know almost every build has been thought up and talked to death, but I do enjoy reading other people’s takes.
