Requirements

To qualify as a dwarven defender, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria:
Race: Dwarf
Base Attack Bonus: +7
Feats: Dodge, Toughness
Alignment: Any lawful
Tip: A dwarven fighter can become a very powerful dwarven defender. To gain the dodge prerequisite that the dwarven defender requires, your character will need a dexterity of 13 or higher.


Background

The defender is a sponsored champion of a dwarven cause, a dwarven aristocrat, a dwarven deity or the dwarven way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of dwarven defenders is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stone, and much more dangerous.
