Fighters gain additional armor class, attack bonus, and damage that stacks with other equipment.

Armor AC Bonus (+1 at 5, +2 at 25, +3 at 28)
Shield AC Bonus (+1 at 10, +2 at 25, +3 at 28)
Helmet AC Bonus (Deflection) (+1 at 15, +2 at 25, +3 at 28)
Weapon Attack Bonus (+1 at 23, +2 at 25, +3 at 28)
Weapon Damage Bonus (+1 at 23, +2 at 25, +3 at 28)

Fighter Level	Armor AC	Shield AC	Helmet Deflection AC	Attack Bonus	Damage Bonus	STR/DEX Bonus
5	+1	+0	+0	+0	+0	+0
10	+1	+1	+0	+0	+0	+1
15	+1	+1	+1	+0	+0	+1
20	+1	+1	+1	+0	+0	+2

25	+2	+2	+2	+2	+2	+2
28	+3	+3	+3	+3	+3	+3

This means, that a level 25 fighter (+2 AB) using a Masterly Damask weapon (+3) would have a total bonus of +5 AB, and thus pierce most damage reduction effects.

See also: The Weapons Table and the Armors Table.

The AB/Damage/AC item stacking of the fighter is exclusive of the fighter's abilities, and there's no other way to stack them.
A shield, helmet and armor/clothing must be equipped in order to receive the respective AC bonus, and a weapon for the AB and damage bonus - unarmed attacks will not benefit.
The AC bonus for the helmet is Deflection, a source of AC that may also be found in rings, cloaks and other even less common sources.
The Fighter bonus AC will only stack with the helmet's AC; not rings or else. You will use whichever Deflection is higher; Helmet+Fighter Bonus or Ring/Weapon/Spells.
