Race: Dwarf
Strengths: Ranged weapon bonus, magic resistance bonus
Weaknesses: None.
Restrictions: None.
Abilities:
- Ranged Bonus: +10% DEX in shooting
Base Stats:
STR: 16 [red]+ 1[/red]
VIT: 14
INT: 14
DEX: 20 [red]+ 3[/red]
Average Age: 80-125 Years
History:
Inhabitants of the Northern Expanse, Dwarves are the ancestors of humans exiled from the old, now destroyed, Human Empires. Evolving to become shorter in stature to preserve heat in the cold weather, the Dwarves began to excel in building and constructing both above and underground cities. However, due to their short height, it became difficult for them to remain mobile and hunt. As a result, they trained in the ways of ranged warfare to pick off prey at a distance.
Renowned as being exporters of precious gold and other valuable minerals, Dwarves were once a powerful and wealthy race. More recently, however, they had begun warring with the species of Spider Nerukar who had already laid claim to many of the underground areas the Dwarves were 'invading'. Though the battles have stopped, the Dwarven people lost many warriors and a handful of cities to their enemy. Though this put a dent in the Dwarven society, they are already recovering by continuing mining in other, less hostile areas.
Often friendly in relations with their human cousins, Dwarves also have begun to spread out in scattered populations to other parts of the world rather than remaining solely isolationist.
