Lord over fighter, good question. Fighter has bersirk mode which does double damage at the start, very useful. This makes the fighter better in the beginning of the game. The Lord gets better as the game goes on, they have a bonus to dule welding weapons, which helps for hitting with more attacks and or damage. The spells again can help (healing and 3 of the 4 bluffing spells I think the Lord can get).
If you have no interst in your tank helping with spells as your other 3 can 'cast' them you can't get a better 'tank' than the fighter.
I'd take the Dracon over lizardman for a fighter. In a rush so hope this makes sense!

"The Berserk Attack ability has its drawbacks and its benefits. The obvious benefit is that it does double damage to the opponent. The drawbacks are that the Fighter will miss more often and will be hit more often while using the Berserk Attack. Skill in Close Combat, Dual Weapons (if you are using a weapon in each hand), and the Weapon of choice help to reduce the missing. Attaining heavier armor, gaining the expert skill of Iron Skin, and even equipping shields help to reduce the amount of damage taken by being hit more often."
