I have a Gold Dwarf who is Thug Fighter Variant 5/Great Rift Skyguard 5 so he's ECL 10. I realized that I'm not getting anything else that I want out of Skyguard if I stay in it so I'm wondering: What class should I go into next? I'm looking to maintain full BAB, preferably d10 or d12 HD but I'll accept a d8 HD if I like the class, and I'm a fan of unique class features.
I play him by dropping in from the sky via my Hippogriff, provided by being a Great Rift Skyguard, and charging into an enemy below me. From there I basically function as a front line fighter and if I need to re-position myself, my Hippogriff picks me up and I put on another drogue wing and drop to another location to hit another enemy. Out of combat, he is a leader-type figure for the party and often handles the initial introductions for the group (and this usually leads to our next quest). The rest of the party consists of 2 Shield Dwarves. One is a Duskblade 10 and the other is a Ranger 7/Peerless Archer 3.

I could really use the help deciding where to go and what would be good for me because I honestly am not sure where to take this character.
