| − | They were used extensively as siege weapons by the Alliance during the [[Third War]]. Mortars are used by the Dwarven armies of [[Khaz Modan]] as a mobile form of artillery, when cannons simply cannot be rolled in. Dwarven Mortar teams consist of a carrier/gunner and a spotter/loader. They are well known for their battlecry, "MORTAR COMBAT!" (a reference to the video game Mortal Kombat), and their advice to targets within earshot: "Hey, you! Catch!" From the time the dwarves first learned to use mortars to the present day, there have been only 3 reported cases of the enemy being stupid enough to actually try catching the shell, with a successful catch being made only once. The name of the individual who performed this impressive feat has been lost, along with most of his anatomy and all insect and plant life in a 15-foot radius of the place where he was standing. |

Epic elven rangers are highly experienced elven rangers. Stalking the wilderness is the epic elven ranger, a silent, lethal champion of nature. They can bring down their foes with a single arrow from miles away, and their enemies flee from their name. Those creatures they most hate shiver in their dens at night, sure they see them crouching at the edge of their consciousness. Combat, particularly ranged combat, is their forte, so they increase their abilities in that arena. Defensive improvements keep them alive to snipe another day. Dexterity is their most important ability, while occasional wisdom boosts improve their spellcasting and allow them to track, spot and hear their foes better.[1]
