Half-Dwarves are hearty and muscle bound which makes them slower and not as nimble as their human parents. Their exotic lineage also makes them a retiring lot. Taller and only slighly heavier than their Dwarven parent, the average height of a half-dwarf is 5 - 5 and a half feet and an average weight of 150 - 300 pounds. They are shunned by most Dwarven races as being overground versions of Derros, despite bearing no resemblence at all. Many insults involve their poorer eyesight, inability to "hit the broad side of an orc" and alleged sun worship. The Derro, on the otherhand, love Half-Dwarf slaves for their personal servants finding their appearance, "almost tolerable".NOTES: I was toying with -4 Cha or Dex or giving back the 60' Darkvision or changing the favored class to fighter, I'm just not sure. Is ditching the giant-dodging, orc- and goblin-bashing, better appraise, better darkvision and stonecunning abilities equivalent to getting an (almost) balanced Strength and Constitution bonus? My half-dwarf also don't seem too human, but than again neither do half-elves or half-orcs. So the question becomes which crossbreed the most aloof or gruff, huh.Your thoughts and criticisms unless (I'm the threadkiller), Joe Sullivan"The Moronic Fighter"</blockquote>
