Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Dwarves could function just fine with no light at all.* Stonecunning: Stonecunning grants Dwarves a +2 racial bonus on 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. Something that isn't stone but is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a check as if he were actively searching, and a Dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Dwarf could also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a Human can sense which way is up. Dwarves have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.* +2 racial bonus to saving throws against desease and poison: Dwarves are hardy and resistant to toxins and pathogens.* +2 racial bonus to Disable Device and Open Lock skill checks: Dwarves have a knack for dealing with mechanical contraptions.* +2 racial bonus to Craft skill checks related to stone, metal, steam and clockwork: Dwarves are especially capable with stonework, metalwork and technology.* Military Training: All dwarves are proficient with all firearms and with Bayonets, as well as either Hand Axes, Battle Axes or Dwarven Waraxes.* Stability: +2 racial bonus to all rolls made to resist Bull Rush, Trip and similar effects.* Automatic Languages: "Common" and Old Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Giant, Goblin, Ceran, Terran and Undercommon.* Favored Classes: Fighter and Musketeer (Steam & Sorcery, p.44). A multiclass Dwarf's Fighter and Musketeer classes do no count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty when multiclassing. Dwarven culture extols the virtue of the warrior, and savors the musket as well as the war-axe; Fighting hand-to-hand as well as shooting straight come easy to Dwarves.</blockquote>
