Armor Saves.

Combat Bonus. In melee combat, dwarves add +1 to their dice rolls to hit opponents who are half-orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, or orcs.

Dwarven Charisma. Elwita has an effective Charisma of 16 with respect to dwarves.

Whirlwind Attack (2). (+3 segments) When a fighter or sub-class is in melee with creatures with less than a full hit die (HD less than 1d8), the fighter may declare a "whirlwind attack" which allows one melee attack for each level of experience the fighter has (e.g. a 3rd level fighter will get 3 melee attacks). This method of attack supersedes and replaces any normal melee attacks or iterative attacks. This is a melee attack action and cannot be used with missile weapons. This attack action must be declared and announced, and cannot be used when changing an action during the round. More than one attack per opponent is allowed. If fighting a mixed group, this special attack mode does not allow any attacks against the higher hit die opponents and makes the fighter more vulnerable to attacks by higher hit die opponents. If a whirlwind attack is declared and a higher hit die opponent is or comes within melee range, they will be granted an immediate attack as if attacking the fighter's rear or rear flank (+2 to-hit, and no Dexterity modifiers or shield benefits to armor class). In certain situations, the fighter may not know there are higher hit die opponents present. The fact that there are, should become quickly apparent once the whirlwind attack form is declared...

Description. Elwita is a fire-haired, hot-tempered female dwarf (beardless) with cold blue eyes that seem to glow when she's angry. Elwita seems happiest when she's smashing things with her hammer. Experienced at dungeoneering, she often takes command when in underground situations. However, she often will put herself in harm's way, worried that sending others ahead or having another check and open a door is too much risk. So far, this has only cost her a few scars.

Background. From the Lortmil-based Rockhammer clan, Elwita is actually in line to lead the clan. She has thus far rejected her status in favor of her younger brother even if he seems to be a bit too enthusiastic to take the reigns in a greedy/grasping sort of way. Elwita decided it would be best for her to make her fortune away from the clan and allow her brother to prove his worth without her looming over him. She hates orcs passionately as she has seen what they do to their slaves.
