| Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, their ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, their knowledge of the earth's secrets, their hard work and their capacity for drinking ale. Their mysterious kingdoms, carved out from the insides of mountains, are renowned for the marvelous treasures that they produce as gifts or for trade.
There are three dwarven subraces: shield dwarves, gold dwarves, and gray dwarves (also known as duergar).
Shield dwarves, the most common race of dwarves, are physically stout but rough around the edges, receiving +2 Consitution and -2 Charisma. Gold dwarves lack the poor charisma of shield dwarves but are less agile. Gray dwarves are even less charismatic than shield dwarves, but make up for it with natural talents and spell-like abilities.
