Adamantine body is going to cause you problems with arcane scrolls unless you slot to counteract that. The build itself is kinda all over the place - on one hand you take typical melee feats and then out of nowhere point blank shot. Replace it with power attack and drop dex as you won't be needing it if you're planning on meleeing and you can pick up insightful reflexes instead of addy body.
Other than that, give us some more info what your goals are for the toon, and why BF? The main benefit of BF is easy self-healing which you're already going to have covered on an arti.

Thanks Puppetian, this is a bit more thought out. Would a runearm/bastard sword, BF for solo play be ok? I'll use the dog too. Here's an updated build:
