[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5919691, member: 22424"] Actually, what I was getting at goes even further than that. "Due to an ancient compact of the gods, dwarves are incapable of using arcane magic. In fact, as part of the ancient magic, dwarves cannot even consider using arcane magic. They may see it at work, they may even understand how it might work for others, but the thought will never cross their minds that they might use arcane magic. In fact, if a dwarf is asked if he has ever considered becoming a wizard, or to imagine how that might be, he will simply respond with a blank look - dwarves are literally incapable of grasping the notion." (And yeah, that's a bizarre and extreme corner case, I know. If something like that applied, I would expect it to be a pretty significant thing in the campaign, and certainly something that the DM would talk with the player about. Still, something like that is within the purview of the DM to determine for his campain. (Of course, the players in turn then get to choose whether they would be willing to play in such a campaign. :) )) [/QUOTE]
