Dark Fantasy Core Set/Dwarf

Dwarf:
Dwarves are short, stocky, and long-lived. They are predominantly found in the Confederation and northern Kingdom lands. However, they can be found anywhere. Contrary to southern belief, Dwarves are not all tunnel-dwelling troglodytes. Most of them live on the surface in houses, and farm, herd, or fish for a living.

Appearance--9, Personality--8, Grace--10, Knowledge--10, Wits--10, Willpower--12, Agility--11, Stamina--14, Strength--12, Awareness--10, Speed--7, Common Sense--11.

Direction Sense: free retest against getting lost; this is a form of pattern recognition--does not apply to long overland trips or to nautical navigation
