Dwarf
Description
The sturdy race from the heart of the mountains has a way with metal and stone. While members pursue all variety of ways of life, their roots in the might of the mountains are universal. All dwarves, male and female, have beards of some sort, and it is an important source of pride to them. The greatest metal workers in the world are dwarven smiths; their armor is clearly superior to others, but they do not sell it or give it to non-dwarves. Their warriors prefer weapons that utilize their strength: axes, hammers, and maces. Mages are rare among dwarves, though, and the ones that are found rarely achieve much mastery.
Racial Restrictions: Player's height must be 5'7" or less to play a dwarf. Characters must have or wear some beard at all times (females too!). The only weapons that dwarves can use are axes, hammers and maces. All magical skills and/or spells cost double for them; however Spell Shield may be purchased for the normal cost without buying Wizard.
Racial Benefit: Armor Points for Dwarven Armor are doubled; of course, it normally takes a Dwarf to repair such armor.
Starting Character Points: 10
