-=Installation=-

Just unzip everything into the Rune\System directory and make the following changes to your RuneI.int and Rune.ini:

In the RuneI.int add the following under the [Public] header:

Object=(Name=DwarfPack.RealDwarf,Class=Class,MetaClass=RuneI.RunePlayer,Description="Woodland Dwarf")

In the Rune.ini add the following under the [Engine.GameEngine] header:

ServerPackages=DwarfPack


-=About=-

This class was created in response to the Dwarf class that was released with the Halls of Valhalla expansion to Rune.  I was disappointed that it only looked like a dwarf.  It was not the right size, was too fast, and couldn't shield bash!  I have corrected each of these in my version.

My dwarf is 80% as tall as a other classes and moves at approximately 2/3 the speed.  It cannot jump quite as high and masses 50% more than other classes.  The ability to shield bash is perhaps the most major change.  Shield bashing requires that one has a shield, of course, and that one is using it (i.e. holding down the shield button).  While using the shield, dodge forward.  Any creature or player hit by the shield bash will receive damage equal to 1/10 the mass of the shield and will be knocked back.  If one shield bashes another player's shield, both shields receive equal damage.
