However, dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.• Darkvision out to 60 feet.• Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Dwarves have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.• Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves treat Dwarven waraxes and Dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.• Stability: Dwarves are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dwarf has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).• +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison. *Not reflected in the saving throw numbers given here.• +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects. *Not reflected in the saving throw numbers given here.• +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs (including halforcs) and goblinoids (including goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears).• +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of the giant type (such as ogres, trolls, and hill giants).• +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.• +2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.Equipment: [100gp to spend] Scale mail-50Heavy wood shield-3Longsword-15Backpack-2Waterskin-12 days rations-1Bedroll-5sSack-1sFlint and steel-1Wooden holy symbol of Heironeous-13 torches-3c5 vials-5 (holy water)The Glass Slippers her husband gave her on their wedding day. (Priceless) 20g, 3s, 7c[/CODE]Appearance: Durann is 4' tall and weighs a little over 140 pounds. Her eyes are topaz green and her skin is fair for a Dwarf. She keeps her dark brown hair in twin braids down her back and bound with copper coils. She rarely is out of her traditional Paladin of Heironeous uniform but when she does get out of it she can be a bit of a "girly girl".Noting that she has a tendency to be a klutz she still wants to learn how to dance.Background: Durann (note slight name change) is the only daughter of a minor noble in the Dwarven hold of Yggrothold. Unfortunately she was not taken with the duties of a Dwarven Lady and would steel away whenever she could to a temple of Heironeous where she met in secret with their sword master. Seeing her potential Taven Brightstone, the Master of Blades for the temple, started training her and they quickly fell in love. They married less than 4 months after meeting for the first time.The marriage was against her fathers will and he disowned Durann telling her she may never return to the clans hold. She was fine with that. Taven was not to live much longer than their honeymoon as he was sent to deal with an Orc uprising in a neighboring kingdom. He died on the battle field calling out for his beloved to come to him. At that moment Durann knew he had died and attempted to take her own life but was saved by her friend Ulfgar Badenburg. She still bears the lightning bolt like scars on her wrists although she keeps them covered by leather bracers.About a year after her husband's death she was asked by Ulfgar to accompany him on a quest to a town called Oakhurst where she is sure she will finally be able to put her loss behind her.</blockquote>
