Dwarf |
The dwarven race was the
fourth of the Realms, fashioned from earth and stone by the gods and melded by fire. They
are long-lived, fiercely loyal, and are known equally for their hardiness and cantankerous
personalities. Dwarves are miners by tradition, working with and building within the dirt
of the earth and stone of the mountains.
Dwarves are shorter than humans and elves, averaging from four and a half to five and a
half feet in height. They are stocky and rather powerfully-built, and both males and
females proudly wear thick and often long beards.
Individuals of the race are deceptively quick, but not agile. Still, their thick and stout
frames lend them an uncommon constitution and strength, and the race has produced some of
the most famed and feared warriors in the Realms. Dwarves may become accomplished magic
users, but they are more suited to physical roles. They have some resistance to flame, and
generations of working with and within the earth has fostered their infravision.
Dwarves can follow the ways of the following classes: Cleric Thief Warrior Vampire Druid
Ranger Augurer Bladesinger
Dwarves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.97. The dwarven nation lies in the
canyons northeast of the great western lake. |
