He can use the smash and parry combat options, but cannot use the disarm option against a giant-sized opponent. (A giant-sized opponent is any monster which is described as being a giant, a giant animal, a gargantua, or is otherwise in the DM's opinion enormous.)
Special Defenses Experienced dwarves become more resistant to magic. When the dwarf reaches the 1,400,000 experience point mark, the dwarf automatically takes only half damage from any damagecausing spell or spell-like effect (such as from a magical item or strange monster powers such as beholders' eyes but not including dragon's breath). Divide the rolled damage by 2 and round down. If the effect allows a saving throw, a successful roll indicates that he only takes 1/4 damage; divide the rolled damage by 4 and round down. (If the result is 1/2 point of damage or less, the character takes 1 point of damage.) Infravision Infravision is the ability to see heat (and the lack of heat). Dwarves have infravision in addition to normal sight and can see 60' in the dark. Infravision does not work in the presence of normal and magical light. With infravision, warm things appear red, and cold things appear blue. A creature could be seen as a red shape, leaving
faint reddish footprints. A cold pool of water would seem a deep blue color. Characters with infravision can even see items or creatures the same temperature as the surrounding air (such as a table or a skeleton), since air flow will inevitably show the viewer their borders, outlining them in a faint lighter-blue tone. Until they move, they will be very faint to the

A character can use his infravision to recognize an individual only if they are within 10' distance . . . unless the individual is very, very distinctive (for example, 8' tall or walking with a crutch).
things in an area, tell the DM. You have 1 chance in 3 to find them. The DM will roll 1d6, and a 1 or 2 will indicate success if there is anything to find; a result of 3-6 means your dwarf detects nothing. You may check once for each trap, sliding wall, sloping corridor, or new construction. You must tell the DM if you want to look for anything; the detection is never automatic.
Languages In addition to Common and alignment tongues, a dwarf can speak the languages of the dwarf, gnome, goblin, and kobold races.
Higher Experience Levels
Detection Dwarves can sometimes detect traps (specifically, traps built into stone-work or heavy construction, not other types of traps such as rope-traps in the forest or spring-out needles built into a jewelry box); they can also detect sliding walls, sloping corridors, and new constructions. If your dwarf character wants to search for such
When a dwarf reaches Name (9th) level, he is usually referred to as a dwarf lord (or dwarf lady, in the case of female dwarves). He may build a stronghold. Unless he has forsaken his dwarven Clan and is living among humans, it should be an underground cavern complex located in either mountains or hills. (If he is living among humans, he may build any sturdy stone dwelling in the human fashion instead, but will still want for there to be an underground complex connected to it.) The
