If the opposing Orc has the Dwarf Enmity trick, the two tricks cancel each other out and have no effect.

===Rifledwarf Special Rules===
 
 
'''Rifle''' - At the start of his turn the Rifledwarf may choose to reduce his Move to 0. If he does so, he gains a ranged attack option for that turn (which may be used instead of his normal melee attack). His ranged attack hits on a 6+ to deal 6 damage, and can be made at a distance of up to 4 squares. He may not use his ranged attack against enemies adjacent to him.
 
 
'''Non Human Humanoid''' - This Gladiator is not human, but is humanoid in form.

* '''Careful Aim'''
 
The Dwarf may choose to skip his turn to ''Aim'' at an enemy within 10 squares range. If he does so, any ''Rifle'' attack he makes against that enemy during his next turn is at -2 TN (e.g. 4+ instead of 6+).
 
* '''Orc Enmity'''
 
Against ''Orcs'', this ''Dwarf'' rolls 2D6 to attack, and picks the higher dice to use as his attack roll. The other dice is set aside and not used. Also, when an ''Orc'' attacks this ''Dwarf'', he must roll 2D6 to attack, and use the lower roll. If the opposing Orc has the Dwarf Enmity trick, the two tricks cancel each other out and have no effect.
