Dwarf

The Dwarf is a player class in Minecraft: Magic and Monsters. The Dwarf is a tank. He attacks slow and hard. In fact, he is the slowest moving class. He has the highest defenses and requires the most food, and has a sort of natural night vision, being able to see farther in the dark than other classes. Wearing Gold Armor will boost the Dwarf’s attacking power even more. As if that wasn’t enough, the Dwarf’s attacks can also pierce through high Absorb. Additionally, the Dwarf also has resistance to heat damage, and to go along with his high defenses, he has the ability to draw enemy attacks to him, diverting it away from weaker classes. The Dwarf’s ‘Prime Requisite’ is Absorb.

## Benefits

The Dwarf's main role is a defensive one, and this is reflected in his stats and weapon choices.

### High Defense

The Dwarf has one of the highest Defense stats out of the classes, with plenty of HP to back it up. This means he is capable of taking tons of damage and still be ready to take more.

### Weapon Availability

The Dwarf has a good selection of weapons, with only the swords and a few ranged weapons being unavailable. The weapons that suit the Dwarf best though are Axes and Blunt Objects, with their high damage and slow cooldown.

### Reduced Knockback

The Dwarf is naturally heavy, taking reduced knockback from explosions and other sources of damage.

### High Vitality

The Dwarf has a high Vitality stat, making his weight threshold very high as well, meaning he can carry heavier equipment before becoming encumbered.

### Natural Night Vision

The Dwarf is capable of seeing farther in the dark than any other class, making him optimal for exploring dark spaces if you run out of lighting.

## Downsides

The Dwarf has a lower movement speed, easily being outpaced by other classes.

As Dwarves are surly, they have a low Charisma stat, making them poor choices for talking to NPCs.

Dwarves have a low Stamina, meaning they have to eat more frequently, and their hunger runs out quicker compared to other classes.

## Other Attributes

The Dwarf is the second-shortest class, being 1.75 blocks tall.
