Quote:Double Weapon Proficiency: Thorgas wields two types of weapons. One is an axe, called Earthsplitter, is useful for embedding a cold piece of steel to an opponent's body while the warhammer, named Rockbasher, would easily knock some sense (or knock out the senses) into his enemies.
Quote:Excellent Spell Resistance: Dwarves distrusts all kinds of magic are highly resistant to spells cast upon them, and Thorgas is no exception.
Quote:No Shield: With an axe like Earthsplitter, and a hammer like Rockbasher, who needs a shield? unfortunately this makes him vulnerable to most attacks, because the fact that he has only two hands, and both hands are full.Unskilled in Ranged Combat: Earthsplitter is nearly as tall as Thorgas, and Rockbasher is very heavy, so there is no way to throw weapons that big, and enemies with ranged weapons find that good.Backstab Vulnerability: Thorgas is usually concentrated when fighting with enemies, focusing himself to his target, with assassins doing their work focusing on his back.
Quote:Thorgas studied under the dwarf, learning all he can. The dwarf taught him the healing properties of herbs and roots, how to prepare cures and remedies, binding wounds and identifying poison.
Quote:Thorgas decided to travel and search for a new cave to call his home.

Quote:Years passed, and Thorgas was near to his Age of Choosing. He told his dad he is not yet ready to find a mate, that there is still so much to learn. His father nodded, obviously understanding what his son wants and knowing that he knows what is best for himself.

Quote:Due to the fact that they originated from the element of Earth at the beginning of times, dwarves are - just like stone - usually unaffected by cold and fire and they destrust every kind of magic by heart, so that magic spells often fail when cast onto dwarves.
