'DWARVEN ARMOR DEFLECTION' (3696)
Dwarves are a particularly stout and resilient people in general, but there
is an old saying: "Moving an armored dwarf is like trying to push a mountain".
As it implies, an already-dense dwarf mixed with a proper set of armor creates
a force to be reckoned with. Well-familiar with forgecraft, dwarves can take
advantage of their knowledge of weapons and armor to best survive deadly
blows.
Assuming they are well dressed in heavy, protective armor - dwarves are able
to withstand blows that would cripple others. Dwarves will find this benefit
improved by things relating to protection and armor, and similarly reduced
by things that do the opposite. This inherent ability is at its best when
a dwarf's feet are firmly planted on the ground and he is covered in
protective heavy armor. Dwarven warriors are more skilled in this
tactic than other guilds, given their sole focus on martial positioning.
This is a passive and does not require practicing any additional skills.
