There could easily be multiple dwarven cultures, where order is adhered to by the majority in most of the cultures, while chaos predominates in the minority of cultures.For that matter, how does anyone know if a dwarf is going to behave very differently from a human? There's nothing in the PH that I noticed that goes into detail about roleplaying elves or dwarves, for instance (and anything it or Races of Stone says about gnomes just makes them worse), so I turn to the DnD fiction, and I think some players do, too. That fiction often seems to insult dwarves and exalt elves, unfortunately. (And once again, the authors ignore the rules - +2 Dex doesn't mean you never get hit!)Reminds me of Palladium. (In that system, elves get bonuses to Physical Beauty but reductions to Mental Affinity - their version of Charisma.)</blockquote>
