Conceptual pondering: Peacebringer mostly at range
Thanks, Microcosm. I know there's a smooth spectrum from "belt with suspenders" to "magic rune to repel any Alien-infested meteorites that may fall on your head, but only on the left side" in terms of how often a thing may come into play, and how useful. I have a special talent, it sometimes seems, for running out of inspirations at precisely the wrong moment, so it might do me some good.

I think it might be good for you to level up with Dwarf if nothing else than to see how you like it. All the second hand information in the world isn't a substitute for in game experience.
That being said another thing to keep in mind is that if you plan to have defensive toggles in your build (which dramatically increases survivability) switching to Dwarf at any point will sacrifice that- You'll lose the defense in Dwarf and then have to turn all of your toggles back on when you switch back to human form, which is quite a bit more survivable (go figure.)
I know it's probably a bit down the road for you, but have you considered working on getting Clarion when you're able to?

I've done tri-form to, up, 42 or so. Liked it some, didn't like it some. I just have weak eyes and slow reflexes (side effects of one of the forms of porphyria), so melee is never as strong for me.

There was then commentary on human-only ranged viability, which was very helpful, and then increasingly weird hostility about issues I don't understand, which isn't.
But nobody actually had a clear answer for me: In a human/nova build, would I find the mez relief and such from basic dwarf form helpful enough to allocate a power to it, or should I figure on getting it other ways?
EDIT: All of the above is assuming a SO or low-cost IO build.
