=Dwarf= Dwarves have a reputation of being as stubborn and unyielding as stone. The elves especially see them as joyless and dour, and indeed they are a solemn people. They are slow to anger and once angry slow to calm again. They find pleasure in work for the good of dwarven-kind and the improvement of their families and themselves. Dwarves strive toward the image of their own creations β impressive, enduring, and of workman-like fashion. '''Dwarf Racial Traits''' * Abilities: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, +1 Wisdom, -3 Charisma. Dwarves are strong, sturdy, and nimble, and possess naturally deep minds. They are not as quick thinkers as some races, however, and can be very difficult to understand and to get along with. * Classes: Dwarves can become bards, clerics, paladins, rogues, or warriors. * Favored Class: Cleric and paladin. When determining whether a multiclass dwarf takes an experience point penalty, his or her cleric and paladin levels do not count. * Language: Dwarves begin with 4 ranks in Language: Common and 4 ranks in Language: Dwarf. * Resistance: Racial bonus +2 on all saving throws against poisons and magical effects, and also poison and magic resistance (3). * Size: Though rather small compared to other races, dwarves are just large enough to be considered Medium creatures. As Medium-size creatures, dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. * Skills: Dwarves receive Knowledge (construction) as a class skill regardless of their actual class(es), and begin with 4 bonus ranks in that skill. Additionally, when underground, dwarves can automatically determine true north. * Speed: 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). * Vision: Dwarves have infravision.
