They are generally narrow-minded and stuck in their ways. Dwarves do not take kindly to innovation. A dwarf stands about 5ft tall on average, with a very stocky build, and in the case of male dwarves, a full and bushy beard. Dwarves can live up to 200 years. A dwarven spell-caster would be immediately expelled from the community if discovered.
Dwarves disapprove greatly of sorcery, and thus have a long-standing enmity with the elvish folk.
Dwarves are very competent warriors, although reluctant to be roused into battle. Dwarves are as congenial as they get towards humans. Orcs will generally be struck down where encountered. Dwarves have 250 points to distribute amongst the skills offered by their chosen profession. Typical dwarven professions include Craftsperson, Merchant, Scribe, Engineer, Small Trader, Soldier, and Tax Collector.
