• +2 Constitution, -2 Charisma.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Dwarf base land
speed is 20 feet. However, dwarves can move at this
speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose
speed is reduced in such situations).
•
Darkvision: Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and dwarves can function just fine with no light at all.
• Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on
Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding
walls, stonework
traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a
Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the
Search skill to find stonework
traps as a
rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a
human can sense which way is up.
• Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
• Stability: A dwarf gains a +4 bonus on
ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
• +2 racial bonus on
saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
• +1 racial bonus on
attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.
• +4
dodge bonus to
Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to
Armor Class, such as when it's caught flat-footed, it loses its
dodge bonus, too.
• +2 racial bonus on
Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.
• +2 racial bonus on
Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.
• Automatic Languages: Common and Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Giant,
Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Terran, and Undercommon.
•
Favored Class:
Fighter. A multiclass dwarf 's
fighter class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing
