Dwarves are a short and stalky race originating from the mountains and foothills. Dwarves are often not as wise as Humans, but tend to be very healthy and robust. Dwarves are shorter than Humans, and tend to grow long beards. Dwarves have found many natural enemies living in the mountains and are often suspicious of those much taller than themselves.

Racial abilities: infravision, detect hidden, resist poison, and resist disease, susceptible to drowning

Attribute bonuses: +1 str, +2 con, -1 dex

Dwarves may not choose to be Monks. In addition, they may not choose to subclass into Berserkers.

Racial attribute mods affect both starting stats and maximum stats.
