my dwarf fighter is now 4 level...
must I proceed with a pure fighter or is better a fighter4/barbarian X ?
what changes? avantages and disavantages?
thanks

continue as fighter:
+ more feats
- do you need those feats?
- less HPs
ftr4/barbX
+ more HP
+ rages
+ damage reduction
+ decent skillpoints (can take Wildereness Lore to a decent score)
- less feats
as you can see, all the differences come down to the extra feats tha fighter gets, otherwise the ftr/barb wins out, so, the question is, do you need those feats?
by level 16, you'll have 10 feats for a ftr/barb, 16 for a ftrX. so what you have to decide is how many you need. for me, the mandatory feats would be something like:
power attack
cleave
great cleave
weapon focus weapon 1
weapon specialisation weapon 1
weapon focus weapon 2
weapon specialisation weapon 2
improved critical
this leaves 2 more (antoher weapon specialisation, saving throws improvement, dirty fighting, maximised attacks, etc.)
so there's really no point in getting more fighter levles. decide what weapons will this char use, what will the other tank (pally) use - and plan accordingly. there are exellent weapons in every group, you won't be really hurt if you pick one and not another.
if you want more feats, i'd suggest adding more fighter levles to ftr/barb build - as much ftr levles as you need to get thefeats, and no more. even a ftr15/barb1 is more powerfull than ftr16.
