This looks a lot like one of my characters... i.e., big protection, lackluster evasion, negative stealth. The problems I run into at 600' are poison attackers (greater werewolves? others? ... poison stacks big and fast if you get hit a lot iirc) and shadows (ignore armor). Consider taking rpois from Will tree, inner light is generally really good, and you need to start buffing will anyway to help with stat drain, eventually Morgy. Also on the Will tree is crit. resistance, if you plan to stick with protection as your primary defensive approach. If you are thinking about a heavy protection approach, you will need more protection soon. Crowdfighting/heavy armor use helps. Or, you could just switch to a kind of mid-range evasion/protection balance, in which you simply start upping your evasion toward around, 20, I would say, while retaining a similar protection amount that you currently have.

Wow, that's... that's a lot of spears! And uh, arrows! This might be the first heavy armored negative stealth archer/thrower type that I've seen. If it works, it's an interesting concept! I think focused attack and concentration are good fun for this kind of character. I find they help with protection characters who suffer from the to-hit penalties from armor, and since you tend to survive a lot of attacks the build up usually pays off. Additionally, you must be softening up monsters with your thrown/archery attacks, and ranged attacks count toward building up the concentration bonus, and you can retain this bonus even if you switch to melee (as long as you don't switch enemies). In other words, +12 isn't going to cut it much longer, but you can use focused attack/concentration as a kind of crutch to put up bigger melee to-hit numbers than currently accessible.
