Yes (-4 penalty) and yes (with a +2 Know bonus).

All that sounds good. With that racial affinity for stonework, what do trow think of dwarves?

Excellent question. I bet they like and/or admire them. With a similar lawful outlook and appreciation of stonework and such, they'd probably get along well with the "little giants".

Perhaps Iron Will for that last feat.

So, if the trow admire the little giants, what do the dwarves think of the trow? Are they respected? Seen as nuisances?

Iron Will sounds good.

Trow are remnants of a once great culture that nurtured the arts and sciences and dealt peacefully with its neighbors. As their civilization declined, the trow began enslaving lesser species to assist in their increasingly antagonistic goals. This practice lead to their ultimate demise, as ogres, trolls, and hill giants eventually rebelled against their captors. The few trow who remain today are reminders of how corrupt their species became.

The enslaving aspect of their heritage probably causes unease among the dwarves, but their emnity of many common enemies of the dwarves, as well as their honorable approach to combat would help balance that.

Trow lairs are often caves near the ruins of their once-great cities, monuments, or temples, which they work to rebuild.

I could see dwarves being employed in such rebuiding efforts as well.

 

[freyar]

"Trow find the lawful nature of dwarves admirable and get along well with them, often hiring dwarves to assist in their rebuilding efforts. Dwarves, while uneasy with the history of slaving in trow culture, still appreciate their common enmity with evil giants."

Let's give the trow Dwarven as a language (or bonus language).

The special abilities done already? Environment, alignment, and advancement are good. Should we add a small clan to the organization line?

 

[demiurge1138]

I think giving Trow Dwarven as a language is a good idea. Perhaps even to the exclusion of Common.

Agreed to small clan... call it a trust? A commune?

 

[freyar]

Commune. I like that! 5-20?

 

[Shade]

I like "trust". 4-8?

Updated.

Trow do not need to eat but will do so as a sign of respect, if food is offered. They also offer food to their guests.

Will flavor text suffice for the "no need to eat" bit?

 

[Shade]

Freyar, I see your ninjitsu has improved!

In that case, how about trust (4-8) and commune (9-20)?
