They inhabit arctic regions, being mostly immune to the environmental hazards. Although far from cruel, the DWARF are aloof and seldom concerned with the plight of others. When they contact other races, it is usually to exchange their worked goods for raw materials that fare poorly in colder climates.</p><p>DWARF look like dwarves with pale blue skin, white hair and beards. Their eyes have small pupils and light irises, usually pale green or grey in colour. DWARF dress is fashioned to blend in with the environment rather than provide warmth and members of other races find it slightly disconcerting to see them comfortable in light clothing under frigid conditions. DWARF favour light armour because snow often slows their travel and they already move slower than many other humanoid races.</p><p>DWARF build underground fortresses as do the more common dwarven subraces. Most others find little comfort in these strongholds, however, whose builders use ice as readily as rock. Although as skilled as most other races, DWARF do not have the dwarven affinity and love for craft.</p><p>Druids have a special role in DWARF society and groups of them make most important decisions. Unlike the druids of most races, who live away from large settlements, DWARF druids have a great deal of influence over how and where DWARF communities are built. As a result, these tend to remain small and hidden, having very little impact on the wilderness around them, befriended by the druids, the few animals able to withstand the arctic clime wander freely through DWARF communities. Travellers unfamiliar with the arctic can easily pass within a few hundred feet of an DWARF village without noticing its presence.</p><p></p><p>Combat</p><p>DWARF depend on their isolation to protect them from most threats. Most avoid combat if possible. If a particularly dangerous monster menaces their community, they typically rely on magic or befriended animals to drive the threat away. Since DWARF are immune to cold, their settlement defences typically involve frigid water. Arctic rivers offer ready escape routes while threatening would-be invaders with slow death by freezing.</p><p>If they must fight, DWARF form organised and disciplined groups, usually fighting delaying actions until spellcasters can arrive to turn the environment against their attackers.</p><p>Stonecunning (Ex): This ability grants an DWARF a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like.

An uneasy and dangerous mix of these two different forms of life, CATMAN are covered with a leathery hide brightly colored and spotted like a leopard and they will prey upon any warm-blooded creature that offers enough flesh for a meal. Yet they also go about on two legs, are clearly intelligent and have hands that can grasp weapons and tools (albeit with short, sharp retractable claws on the undersides of their fingers). Whenever they come into contact with settled races, CATMAN are a menace. They are more than a match for anyone they catch alone and unwary, such as travelers, stragglers, outcasts and farmers at the edges of their fields. They use their agility to leap from cover, they are relentless and remorseless predators when hungry. Settled peoples therefore understand them as a threat and try to hunt them down. Because of their intelligence, their heightened feline senses and their capacity for stealth, CATMAN are also employed as trackers and hunters themselves. They prefer to work alone as bounty hunters, but they have been known to allow themselves to serve in a subordinate position. CATMAN are largely solitary and always hunt alone. In fact, they are so solitary that they do not seem to breed very much, for their population density never gets very high wherever they occur, which is fortunate for other intelligent races who share the same territory. CATMAN speak a primitive language of their own, but they can be taught to understand rudimentary Common. Combat CATMAN prefer to use compact slashing weapons like kamas and sickles, which allow them to strike in short motions while retaining the freedom of motion to bite as well. They are ambidextrous and cannot only fight with either hand, but they can also wield weapons in both hands at once. If they break or drop their melee weapons, they will unsheathe their claws and strike with them. Natural Ambidexterity (Ex): A CATMAN can strike as naturally with a weapon in each hand as it can with both claws. A CATMAN suffers no penalty for fighting with multiple natural weapons, as if all attacks were primary weapons. A CATMAN also suffers no penalty for fighting with a combination of manufactured weapons and claws (but not its bite). Pounce (Ex): If a CATMAN charges a foe, it can make a full attack. [/QUOTE]
