Dwarven Defender

The defender is a sponsored champion of a dwarven cause, a dwarven aristocrat, a dwarven deity or the dwarven way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of Dwarven Defenders is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stone and much more dangerous. A dwarven fighter can become a very powerful Dwarven Defender. To gain the dodge prerequisite that the dwarven defender requires your character will need a Dexterity of 13 or higher.
