28 pt dwarf Arti build

[BlueRonin]

i'm looking to build a dwarf arti i would like to be able to hit hard with spells,crossbow of course, but would also like to make sure i can do traps as well i've mainly done melee builds so not too sure the best stats for my arti any help would be greatly appreciated....i have veteran status, and i've looked over the forums and i get lost on the builds other ppl post, the only thing i really need is lvl 1-4 base stats, where to put my skill points and what to spend that first 12 action points on as far as enhancements

If I was going to make a dwarf artificer then I'd make it melee based.

16 strength, 8 dexterity, 17 constitution, 16+level ups intelligence , 8 wisdom, 6 charisma works fine.
Base feats: THF'ing, Toughness, Insightful Reflexes, ITHF'ing, Improved Critical: Slashing, GTHF'ing, power attack
Artificer feats: Point Blank Shot, Augment Summons, Maximise, Empower

A +1 strength tome is necessary to qualify for improved two handed fighting.

Masters Touch scrolls will let you use a dwarven axe and with the axe enhancements it makes for a very nice melee build. Insightful Strikes/Damage can be used on your crossbow and axe as appropriate.
