Meh well Kardol is a bit of an oddity though that has more to do with him being a dwarf more than anything.  He's sturdy enough to take a hit or two but not too many.  Hes at his best when he can flank though.  if the tank can tank Kardol can and will shred the holy hell outa a target if he can get flank for sneak attacks.  With out flank hes not all that good unfortunatly hes got no str bonus modifier so he's stuck with base dice damage.<br/><br/>So yeah basics for combat for Kardol.  let him get flanking and watch the badguys melt, well so long as they can be sneak attacked lol.  as a fair warning muse or Blinkin youll need to have the book as referense as im likely gonna be tumbling around to get my flank positions.  which i beleive is acrobatics now.
