Dwarven Warrior in 3.3.0

[Eli]

As I'm just getting back into the Angband system, I've picked up the Vanilla version 3.3.0. As my memory is fuzzy, and quite muddled with the numerous variants I've played in past times, I have one blaring question :

As a Dwarf Warrior, do I gain anything as I level?

To clarify, any resistances, abilities... I know in the Hengband variant, Kobolds were able to use poison darts upon level 9ish. Anything at all like that for a Dwarf Warrior?

I dunno about the dwarf part, but I think warriors get resistance to fear at level 10 or 30 or something like that (sorry, bit rusty haha)

The game should tell you at birth what bonuses you'll get, both for class and race.

Also, some unsolicited advice:

If I were you, I'd pick up the newest version. 3.4.x is quite a bit harder and more interesting, IMO.

If you just want to wack things with a plentitude of artifacts, sticking with 3.3.x might be your best bet If you're going to do that, get the most up-to-date point-release. There were some good bugfixes in there. (My first winners were on 3.3.x.)

Alrighty, I remember something about Fear..

As for getting the newest versions, I think I'm going to keep going with this, and pick up the newest version when I finish. But thanks for your suggestion.

In any case, I appreciate the response!

OK, so it looks like dwarves resist blindness (didn't know that one) and "detect ore / minerals", and warriors do indeed gain immunity to fear. The racial bonus you should have right off the bat; I can't remember at what level you gain the class bonus. (I think it's 30. Someone who actually knows what they're talking about will probably waltz in here soon.)

As you level up all your skills beside stealth, searching and perception increase.
Yeah, warriors gain immunity to fear at level 30. Dwarfs are also the only race to get a bonus to digging, meaning that you can mine through walls faster.

Okay thanks! I remember that some mobs loved fear bombing me... Looking forward to wrecking their days >

As a warrior this is particularly noteworthy since you're strong enough to burrow through granite walls barehanded even as a starting character.

Also detect treasure veins in 3.4.x at some distance.

Well... I got killed off by some "I" that mass bred, and confused the living daylights from my guy. I had him save scummed so I may end up restoring him, albeit at the loss of a few levels.
