Dwarf Dwarves are the stouts known as much for their love of the bottle as for their love of adventure, and their fear of the sea. All dwarves start with a natural knack for sensing direction which will help a lot at lower levels. Dwarves can be clerics , paladins , rogues , and warriors . Their glaring weaknesses are their atrocious agility and charisma .
Dwarves are by no means charming with their lude mannerisms and their bearded woman.
You will more than likely need to spend most of your ability points on agility. Because of their agility dwarves do not really make the best rogues. I would recommend playing as a different race if you wish to practice your thieving ways. Dwarves, while not the best warriors, are decent at that trade due to their strength and stamina. In addition their small size allows them to spend less money on armor than their larger counterparts would.
