Dwarves react negatively to elves, although PCs can learn to like each other ("he's a good elf, not disloyal and untrustworthy like the other elves"), and dwarves hate half-orcs. Nobody trusts half-orcs, not even other half-orcs. I really don't like the language used to describe the racial interactions and I'd throw all that out if I ever ran the game (including the charisma check penalties dwarves get when interacting with elves and half-orcs).</blockquote>
