Superhigh metabolism, the drive to work hard, naturrally wanting items (gems, gold) that require work to get, a society that is well-coordinated and cooperative . . . the list goes on.Why do I think they're so super-advanced? Their machines. Any good GM won't just have Dwarves nicking away at diamonds with copper and flint shards. No, they like to have really really BIG drills, steam-powered excavaters, giant booring devices--the dwarves have the tech, and the time to get more tech, and the drive to get more tech, and the ability to get even more tech. So while all the races are prancing around weaving fog clouds and developing fireballs, the dwarves allready have an adding machine. By the time the other races have an adding machine, dwarves have a supercomputer and nuclear missiles. By the time other races have nuclear missiles, the dwarves colonized the next planet over.Just my (USD) $0.02, exact change only, please.-Jeph</blockquote>
