Duergar stats?

[Question]

A friend of mine wants to houserule duergar stats to something like this and be LA +0 :

*+2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma
*Medium
*Speed 20 ft. However, they can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
*Darkvision out to 120 feet
*Immunity to paralysis, and phantasms
*+2 racial bonus on saves vs. spells and sepll-like abilities
*Stability
*Stonecunning
*Psi-like Abilities: 1/day-expansion, invisibility. Manifester level is equal to HD
*+1 Racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids
*+4 dodge bonus to AC against creatures of the giant type
*Light Sensitivity
*Duergar have a +4 bonus to Move Silently checks. They also have a +2 bonus to appraise and craft checks when dealing with stone or metal
*Automatic Languages: Common, Dwarven, Undercommon. Bonus Languagesraconic, Giant, Goblin, Orc, Terran.
*Favored Class: Fighter

Thoughts?

Nope, that's still a +1, easily.

Those two psi-likes are a doosey.

I think if you dropped the psi abilities and the Move Silently bonus it would probably be close to +0.

 

[Arkhandus]

If you removed the Psi-Like Abilities and the Move Silently bonus, it would be almost equal to a standard dwarf (hill dwarf), just a tad stronger but probably alright. However, I'd probably also remove the bonus on Appraise checks and the immunity to Phantasms.

Ultimatly you want a +0 LA duergar?

Take the normal dwarf stats, they're already quite generous. Change the coloration and societal aspects of the race, bam, there's your duergar.

It works with +0 LA drow as well. Normal elves with a paint job. *nod*

Doesn't Player's Guide to Faerun include LA +0 Duergar variants? I know it included it for Planetouched and Drow...

Yup... p.190 in PgtF.

+2 CON
-4 CHR
no weapon familiarity
+2 hide & move
+2 vs poison, phantasms, paralysis... replaces std. dwarf vs poison
1/day enlarge CL=class levelsx2 (3 min)
light sensitivity
