The Knight's Training feat looks nice - I've been considering an aasimar scourge build for a little while & since it boosts heavy maces & will stack with their racial boosts plus pulveriser in dreadnaught, I think it could make for a surprisingly hard-hitting warsoul - now all we need is a nice legendary version of Phosphor too

I kind of like that the way to fix the persistant effects bug is essentially "have you tried turning it off & on again?" - my own suggestion to fix stuff like lava etc was to change them to apply short-duration damage over time effect that gets renewed every few seconds if you're still immersed rather than a single persistant status effect that might not clear.

I'd like to see a couple more combined fighting/casting weapons too, I think something cool would be to have a decent base damage profile combined with a stacking shattermantle effect (like arcane archer's shattermantle shot rather than classic static shattermantle) & an effect similar to Blackrazor's stealer of souls ability but which grants spellpower & spell crit multiplier as the charges build rather than blackrazor's melee power & damage.

Fair point about Duregar being more like drow than a variant dwarf, but differentiating between hill/mountain or shield/gold (depending on d&d edition) could be totally possible & legit within the canon.
