Dwarves racial power?

[Dice4Hire]

Dwarves are an excellent race for all the reasons above.

 

[Unwise]

My players actually asked me to nerf dwarves, so that they would not always feel like they were choosing the wrong option for a class if they go for a less traditional race. The feat support for them is just insane, as are their racial abilities. Most (or make that all?) other races fair very poorly in comparison.

Another vote for the strength of second wind as a minor. Especially in combination with Cloak of the Walking Wounded.

I don't think I've ever sat at a table that didn't include a dwarf. They need no further help. But with around 40 playable races, if no one in your group wants to play a dwarf, why is that bad?

And in concert with battleforged armor to add bonus d10s onto the healing party.

A dwarven defender with the above pairing of items can easily jump from very bloodied to full hp as a minor action without outside assistance, freeing up the party leader to worry about healing someone else.

Every Encounter -- because both Battleforged Armor and Cloak of the Walking Wounded grant their extra healing if bloodied as a Property, not a Daily power.

Put a cloak of the walking wounded on a Dwarven Warden and you are golden

the dwarf's racial abilities are the envy of many players in our group. it really may not be flashy but it isn't something to be discounted as unimpressive.

What are those items and what do they do?

I ask because the other Dwarf players have been utterly slacking in letting the DM know about what kind of items would work for their PCs...so we're running rather item-poor.

(If you can, use book references, since I don't have DDI.)

Battleforged Armor = Players Handbook 1 p227. (plate armor only) Basically, if you are bloodied when you use your second wind, get some bonus hp

Cloak of the Walking Wounded = Adv Vault 1 p151. Basically, if you are bloodied when you use your second wind, you can use two surges instead of one

so bottom line, if you wait to use your second wind when bloodied and have both those items, you are probably going to be full up for the one minor action (dwarven racial ability to use it as a minor action), this would work every encounter
