Dwarven

Known as the dark dwarves, these cave dwellers root down tunnels deep within the earth’s crust to stay warmer next to the core. They are the leading provider of irons and advanced weaponry. Duergar live a more chaotic life style than their surface cousins. Although not rare in Neonosa, Duergar are known to have darker shades of skin tones.

Duergar can live to the age of 200. They age slowly.

Standard Abilities:

Iron Flesh: Works almost the same as Stone Flesh, except they add +1 to their defensive rolls and +2 to their attack rolls. This can only be used once per combat and last for 3 rounds of combat but require a charged post to shift (2 post to shift can be stopped)

Molten Core: Once per combat, a Duergar can super heat their bodies into a Magma like state. While in this form, players add a +4 to their attack rolls for 2 rounds of combat. This acts like a charging attack as well to shift forms and can also stack with other abilities (2 post to shift can be stopped). However once 2 rounds are completed, the Duergar revert back to their normal form, and are Fatigued for 2 rounds of combat, meaning they cannot attack but may defend.

Stability: Dwarves are normally excellent at keeping their balance because they are close to the ground. These dwarves are normally good at missing trips and ball roll attacks from other races because they can see it coming. This gives +2 to their defensive rolls for three rounds of combat.

Special Abilities

Stun Immunity: These Duergars have are normally quick witted in their thinking to avoid the stun but this ability can only be used once during combat. Once used, the Duergar will be more susceptible to the next stun. This ability only gives +4 to Defense Rolls when trying to avoid a stun-based attack for three rounds of combat.

Silent Movement: A Duergar can come up on their opponent very sneakily and quiet. This skill can be used in a wide range of things. Their attacks that they can use it one is when they are not being spotted otherwise it doesn’t help. It will give +2 to their attack and +3 to escape attempts for three rounds of combat.

Dark Vision: Sometimes dwarves get a special ability to see really good in the dark as they are in the daylight. In the dark the can see up to one-hundred feet! This can give them an advantage in combat at night. This will give +5 to an Escape roll.
