Dwarves are relatively short (in human terms), stocky, and powerfully-built
creatures. Long-lived and extremely sturdy, they are known equally as well
for their hardiness as for their cantankerous personalities. Their thick,
stout frames lend them poor dexterity, but high strength and stamina. This
race has produced some of the most renowned fighters. Dwarves possess the
inherent ability to see in the dark with darkvision.
Dwarves average from four foot five inches and five feet tall, with dusky
complexions and thick, fur-covered torsos and limbs. Both men and women
proudly wear and take pride in their beards.
