Re: Fighter Trumps Dwarf Fighter

Hmmm, I'm kinda digging these suggestions, taking my idea of the "simple dwarf" even farther.
How about this version?
The thought is that the player of the dwarf rolls less dice, but always knows the bonus to hit. The bonus is meant to track about the average of a Warrior's Deed roll. Dependability and stability over swingy-ness and awesome Deed-ness.
The Dependable Dwarf
Hit Dice: 1d12
Level Attack Critical Dice Threat Action Dice
1. +1 1d12/III (20) 1d20
2. +2 1d14/III (20) 1d20
3. +2 1d16/III (20) 1d20
4. +3 1d20/IV (20) 1d20
5. +4 1d24/IV (19) 1d20 + d14
Attack Bonus applies to Attack and Damage rolls.
Dwarves are slow. Speed: 20’ Speed is not affected by armor.
Dwarves enjoy at +4 AC bonus with a Round Shield, OR +1d for a 2 handed weapon (ex: War Axe d14)
+2 to Fortitude Saving Throws
Dwarves are legendary Carousers and may CAROUSE without mishap up to CL+Destiny.
Dwarves may smell gold at 100’, and may roll a d24 for gold related Perception checks.
Dwarves are experts in masonry, mining and metallurgy, rolling a d20 in all such situations.
With tools, Dwarves make wondrous things.
