Description:;
(PRESTIGE CLASS) The defender is a sponsored champion of dwarven cause, a dwarven aristocrat, a dwarven deity or the dwarven way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of dwarven defenders is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stones, and much more dangerous.
Epic Dwarven Defender:
The epic dwarven defender has become the very definition of immovable object. He is a stalwart warrior that can stand against virtually any foe imaginable. 

Hit Die: d12 and Skill Points: 2 + Int modifier 
Tips:
Becoming a Dwarven Defender
A Dwarven fighter can become a very powerful Dwarven Defender. 
To gain the dodge prerequisite that the dwarven defender requires, your character will need a dexterity of 13 or higher. 
Notes:
Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
