Well I’d hoped to bring these cool Dwarven Utility powers to you through other means than my blog, alas there are times in life when a cast iron stomach really does come in handy and so this seems to be the only way any of you will ever see them. I do hope you like/use them and I also hope they stand up in cool factor against Rob Schwalb’s newly published ones via DDI! You’ll find 4e stat block images of each power after the rich text at the bottom of this post, enjoy!
