Reported this years ago and has always bothered me. As a maximum strength dwarf I should be very resiilant to being tripped, yet I have no real bonus to it as its currently coded.

Balance only effects getting back up - which isn't that important as the good ol ring of balance does the trick for getting up in 1 roll for 99% of the trips..

But getting knocked down in the first place, a +4 to my str roll would be great.

It's just a thing about dwarves that really should be fixed. I know it's a minor issue, I just wanted to bring it up again to make sure it hasn't been forgotten.
