Dwarves are four to five feet tall and live up to 200 years. Their ears and noses tend to be large in proportion to their faces, at least compared to those of a human. Facial hair grows in fast and full, with dwarven children growing their first beards at the age of 12. The gods created the dwarves to inhabit the labyrinthine maze of passages and caverns found beneath the surface of the world. As a result, dwarves have an uncanny connection to earth and stone and the ability to see in complete darkness.

Special Abilities

Depth Sense: A dwarf who succeeds at a Difficulty Score 3 Intuition Check knows exactly how deep they are under ground. This is a measurement of how far the dwarf would need to travel straight up to reach the surface.

Infravision: As a Minor Action, dwarves can shift their vision from standard vision to infravision. When using infravision, dwarves see infrared light. The warmer an object is, the more infrared light it emits, and the brighter it appears to the dwarf. Fine details and color are impossible to see with infravision, but even invisible objects are visible to the dwarf if the object is a different temperature than its surroundings.

Stone Sense: When making Mind or Spirit based Action Checks related to stone, dwarves gain a Benefit to their Action Scores.
