 Though somewhat shorter than a Human, Dwarves are not so much shorter as many make them out to be.  While a male Dwarf typically stands a meter to a meter and a half in height, most humans stand only 25cm taller on average.  However, Dwarves are proportioned very differently from Humans, with longer arms and shorter legs, giving them almost a simian appearance.  This is compounded by their large skulls, large orbital ridges and heavy jaws.  But that large skull protects a very powerful brain, and those who doubt the intelligence of a Dwarf quickly realize their mistake.

+Dwarves are very hirsute, and even their women often grow beards.  They are physically powerful and robust, able to resist a large amount of damage with little concern.  Their physiologies are particularly resistant to toxins and disease, and their mindsets inured to hardship and stress.  The Dwarven lifespan is long, allowing them to focus their considerable patience on their education, and this gives them a broad and diverse skill set.

 ==== Hill Dwarf ====
-The Hill Dwarves live in forested hills, and are skilled woodworkers and masons.  Their villages are often in harmony with nature, with a mix of wood and stone used in their construction.  They are the most welcoming and hospitable of Dwarves, and their alehouses are open to all.  If you select Hill Dwarf as your Heritage, take a +1 bonus to your Charisma, and increase your training bonus with [[.:skills:Bows]] by +1.  They tend to prefer crossbows over arm bows, however.
