" Demonward " is the earliest such spell learned and it allows demonslayers to adapt to their enemies ' attacks .

Dwarven defender The path of the dwarven defender or dwarven hero is a highly trained and specialized fighter tradition that is available to the dwarven race . These individuals take pride from the noble history of their race and its constant vigilance against exterior threats such as giant s or goblinoid s , which they hope to match in spirit as well as form . Culture . Common dwarven soldiers are known for their martial vigilance and brotherhood , with many a war story telling of how any one dwarf is worth two fighter s of any other race . Dwarven defenders take this reputed strength and loyalty to new heights . They are masters of the dwarven fighting traditions as well as devoted to the protection and continued prosperity of their brethren . Trained particularly in defensive techniques these hardy warriors hold the line even as they break through the enemy ' s . Many dwarves who are devoted to Berronar Truesilver or Gorm Gulthyn or who are otherwise charged with protecting their clanholds usually take the path of the dwarven defender . Any one of these individuals can help to make a dwarven defensive line almost impenetrable . Abilities . Dwarven defenders are skilled in many ways but the emphasis of their training lies on defense , rather than offense . All dwarven defenders have an extreme capability both for deflecting blows with their armor or shields , as well as for taking any blows that get through , while more than a few learn also how to dodge those they can neither take nor deflect . However , dwarven defenders are not meant to operate on their own and so their defensive capabilities are specialized for working with allies , whom they defend earnestly with great effectiveness . Even more so than other dwarves , dwarven defenders are unmoveable forces of martial might . Dwarven defenders learn several exploit s , all of which are focused on fighting set piece battles where the lines of combat are clear and well - defined . In such circumstances dwarven defenders can be not only mighty warriors but beacons of hope , instilling courage into their allies as they defend themselves and others successfully . Though their primary role is defense , dwarven defenders also learn to break the enemy ' s lines , knowing that any good defense has an offensive portion to it . A particularly advanced technique , " keystone collapse " , allows dwarven defenders to turn their attacks into heavy blows which use the weight of an enemy to knock over even more foes . Though not all dwarven defenders are trained in such a way , many dwarven defenders do have some training in detecting traps , much like a rogue or barbarian might , and are much more proficient at avoiding traps than most fighters .
