Notes

  • Cannot cast wizard (arcane) spells; priest spells allowed.
  • Sundered dwarf (PHBR6). No ; the source prints a life expectancy of 250 years.
  • Claustrophobia: a vs. death is required to enter a dungeon, cave or tomb at all, and a failed save means the sundered dwarf cannot enter.
  • Underground: -2 on attack rolls; a daily or the dwarf is compelled to leave by the most direct route. Each failed daily save deepens the attack penalty by a further -1 per day, and recovery saves are made at the current penalty. RECORDED — this is table-side state, entered by hand.
