Dwarven Fighting Techniques

Bundle of Steel

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls when performing a shield bash.

Immovable

Benefit: If an opponent successfully bull rushes you, he must choose to move along with you or the attempt automatically fails. Furthermore, when an opponent uses the improved grab ability to grapple you, he must make a second successful grapple check to pull you into his square. If he fails, he must move into your square in order to maintain the grapple.

Reckless Hurler

Benefit: You only suffer a -2 penalty for throwing ranged weapons into melee combat, rather than the normal -4 penalty. However, you have a 1-in-6 chance of targeting the wrong combatant, chosen randomly from among all creatures adjacent to your intended target. This benefit does not apply to non-thrown ranged attacks, such as those made with a bow or a crossbow.

Hustle to the Fight

Benefit: You gain 5 ft. to your base speed when wearing heavy armor or carrying a medium or heavier load. Only dwarves may select this cultural technique.

Knowledge of Steel

Benefit: Weapons and shields have half their normal hardness against your sunder attempts.
