In Reply to: would an imm pls answer why duergar can't be assassins? posted by Sierothe on February 9, 2000 at 13:24:44:

> someone mention that duergar can't do a wierd kick..
> who cares..

The reason this is important is that the CF assassins are, in large part, very based in martial arts. Duergar really don't have the body type to be effective doing the kinds of intricate moves necessary to properly execute an assassin's skills. (stocky frames, stubby fingers, etc).

Also consider that the assassin's art requires a large degree of dexterity and agility. Look at which races can be assassins: arials, felars, humans, drow, half-elves. Dexterity: 25, 23, 23, 24, 24. Duergars, with dex 21, are definitely less agile than all these races.
