Standard Dwarf Abilities<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Magical Malfunctions<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If a magical item is not specifically created for the dwarf’s class, there is a 20% chance (40% for gully dwarves) that the item will malfunction when it is used. A check is made each time the dwarf uses the item and affects only the current use; it may work properly the next time. This applies to rods, staves, wands, rings, amulets, potions, horns, jewels, and most other magical items. Also, DMs should note that a malfunction is not usually just a simple failure to function. The item usually does something dramatic and colorful, at the DM’s discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwarves have learned to master some magical items. Weapons, shields, armor, gauntlets, and girdles always work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwarf priests and warrior\/priests may use clerical items without malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwarves also recognize cursed magical items that malfunction in their hands. They may dispose of malfunctioning items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combat Bonuses<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All dwarves, unless otherwise specified in the sub-class section, gain a +1 bonus to attack orcs, half-orcs, goblins, and hobgoblins. If the campaign background makes it possible, this bonus may be changed. Instead, the object of their hatred may be any other monster. The character may come from a stronghold that has never fought orcs, but does have a long history of warfare against drow and duergar. In that case, give the +1 attack bonus against drow<\/a> and duergar instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this option is used, bonuses gained from character kits are added to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constitution Modifiers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dwarves are nonmagical and gain the following bonuses to saving throws against poisons and magical attacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
