Plus, he has pretty good hit points (he does add 13 hit points from Con and feat per hit dice, so..), and that's before he goes into greater, tireless, rage! (which lasts ages due to his obscene Con score.) Just don't ask him to do any public speaking or take any IQ tests. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />He's a no-brainer to play, too. Your only decisions consist of the following:1) Do I or don't I rage? [Usual answer; hell yes I rage. It lasts 16 rounds and I can do it 5 times a day!]2) Exactly how much DO I Power Attack for?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> You can make better fighters, but for sheer toughness and tenacity, nothing says "indomitable" like a dwarf.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> Have fun,Synch.</blockquote>
