[QUOTE="Zander, post: 1381917, member: 1364"] If your dwarven wizard has low strength and con (for a dwarf), you could make him a kind of runt. He was born very prematurely by emergency Caesarean when his mother was fatally wounded saving the clan from invading goblins. He was named Battleborn but was always weaker and more frail than the other dwarves and was hopeless at combat and forgework (which requires decent strength). However, what Battleborn lacked in physical ability he made up for in brains. He soon came to the attention of his clan's forge-mage who happened to be a female dwarf about the same age as his mother would have been. She took him under her wing and became a kind of surrogate mother to him. It did not take young Battleborn long to learn the rudiments of magic. Battleborn is well-respected by the other members of his clan mostly because of the heroic way his biological mother died (honourable family and all that). His physical weakness is pitied by other clan members and a source of shame to Battleborn himself. Nonetheless, he is proud of his magical talent. Understandably, he bears a deep enmity for all goblins. [/QUOTE]
