The Dwarf is a Strong race with good Vitality and Piety suggesting
they be employed in professions that rely heavily on these attributes.
The Dwarf's weaknesses are its Intelligence, Dexterity, Speed, and Senses
making them, on a whole a poor choice, for any profession that requires
them. The Dwarf will learn the expert skills Powerstrike and Iron
Skin fairly early when employed as a Fighter.
The Dwarf's special ability of Damage Resistance will be a boon
for any melee based profession. This resistance, coupled with the heavy
armors most of these professions can wear, make the Dwarf a natural choice
for a front line soldier in your party. So I guess that means we use a
Dwarf only as a Fighter, Priest, Lord, or Valkyrie. I don't think so!
This damage resistance will also work in favor of considering
the Dwarf for the more vulnerable professions offsetting their susceptibility
to physical damage. And let's face it, aren't you even the least bit curious
what the Dwarven Damage Resistance and the Monk's Natural Damage Resistance
will do when wrapped up all in one neat little package? |
