Other Characteristics (CBD)

__TOC__
Each dwarf name consists of a prefix and a suffix. To create a name either select or roll for a prefix and a suffix. Gender is indicated by the suffix, so male character names are generated using the Male Suffix Table and female names on the Female Suffix Table. For example, a roll of 2 on the Prefix Table gives "Bal-," and a roll of 1 on the Male Suffix Table gives us "-aim," for the name Balaim.

If you cannot create a name you like, try adding a "b," "d," "f," "g," "k," "m," "t," "v," or "z" between the prefix and the suffix.
==Height and Weight==
Either choose your character's height and weight or generate them randomly. They are listed on the table below for each subrace. Take the base score appropriate for your race and add the die roll modifier. Bizarre combinations should be ignored and rerolled.
Females tend to be lighter and shorter than males so the base numbers for height and weight are divided into male/female values. There is a broad range in each category.
 Average Height and Weight Table
Race 	Height (in.)	Weight (lbs.)
Deep 	45/42+2d6 	100/80+4d10
Duergar 	41/40+2d6 	95/75+5d10
Gully 	40/38+2d6 	80/65+4d10
Hill 	43/41+1d10 	130/105+4d10
Mountain	49/47+1d10 	145/115+5d10
Sundered	50/48+1d10 	135/110+3d12
==Starting Age and Life Span==
Choose or generate a character's starting age and possible life span using the table below. To determine starting age, add the die roll to the base starting age. You will only have an idea of how long he is likely to live, assuming he dies of old age!
As an alternative you may play an older character, one who has been drawn or forced into adventuring late in life. Your character starts at 1st-level, but his ability scores are adjusted to reflect his greater age as shown on the Aging Effects Table.
These adjustments may result in either exceeding or falling below the minimum and maximum abilities required for your subrace, but this is not a problem as long as the character met them before he aged.
==Appearance==
Now decide on the appearance of the character's hair and beard color, eyes, skin, and so forth. Look at the typical appearances given for each subrace of dwarf for an idea of what the character might look like. Each of the optional character kits contains a suggested distinctive appearance to further flesh out any dwarf character.
