HALF-DWARF

Muscular and fit, half-dwarves resemble powerfully built humans. Although one might expect half-dwarves to average somewhere between dwarf and human stature, they are taller than most humans. Male half-dwarves have truly heroic proportions—broad shoulders, narrow waists, powerful thighs, and thick arms. Females, while not as heavily muscled, are tall, strong, and athletic. Many half-dwarves of both genders are hairless, although some grow topknots of dark hair. Their faces hint at their dwarven ancestry, with strong, stern features and small, swept-back ears that come to subtle points. Half-dwarven skin and eye colors are as varied as they are in humans, but many half-dwarves have a copper or deeply bronzed complexion, and a few have eyes of a startling honey-gold or green-gold color.
Half-dwarves have little collective racial identity and adopt the dress and fashion of their homes. However, they are fond of tattoos and favor simple geometric patterns rather than depictions of creatures or objects. In this way, they honor their dwarven heritage with designs reminiscent of dwarven motifs. Half-dwarves have life spans comparable to those of humans.
