Dwarf

Dwarves are the second oldest race known today. The Elves, of course, are the first. Dwarves average about four and a half feet in height, and tip the scales at about two hundred pounds each. They are a solitary folk, and do not easily welcome strange people -- but do not mistake this for hostility. Once you have gained a Dwarf's friendship, that bond will last until either of you is dead. They are cautious and slow to anger, but once their anger is roused they are terrible fighters. Dwarves love and craft precious gems and metals of all sorts, and are great worksmiths. They manufacture precious and elaborate suits of mail, and craft gleaming axes with blades of true-silver. These items seldom leave the underground homes of the Dwarves, but there are stories of heroes who have done some great service in receiving such a gift. Dwarves make excellent Warriors, Clerics and Paladins, due to their unshakeable faith. Dwarves can see in pitch darkness due to their constant work underground, and their stubborn nature and strong willpower give them a good resistance against spells affecting the mind and body.
