When you choose this power, you will have access to six other powers that can only be used while in this form. You will not be able to use any other powers while in Black Dwarf form. Black Dwarf has awesome resistance to all damage except psionics, as well as controlling effects. Black Dwarf also has improved endurance recovery, but is limited to melee attacks.
