[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 2159765, member: 14316"] I see it wasn't the Gold Dwarf issue, but just dwarves in general. In the FRCS there are dwarves in many of the Dalelands. Scanning through the book both Daggerdale and Mistledale are 5% dwarves. But if there are no dwarves in your Dales, I'll just forget the dwarf. I'd rather not play an outsider. Just FYI, the Dwarf Fighter substitution levels are not really abusable. At first level you can get +1 on attack rolls with axes instead of a bonus feat - doesn't stack with weapon focus. I guess this is better than weapon focus (dwarven waraxe) if you happen not to have one but have a battleaxe instead. At second level you can get +2 damage vs orcs, goblinoids and giants instead of a bonus feat - sort of like favored enemy for dwarf fighters, like favored enemy it could be useful or not depending on the campaign. At 8th level you get a +1 to armor class when wearing heavy armor instead of a bonus feat. I was only going to take axe focus, though taking weapon focus (dwarven waraxe) would be pretty much the same. [/QUOTE]
