[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4818458, member: 19675"] Playing off of Set's idea about them being released from a task... Perhaps Dwarves were Clockwork Constructs created for a particular task by some god known for being a god of artifice or invention- say, like Hephaestus. Perhaps they are proto-Inevitables, created to be the sentient tools used to manufacture the Inevitables to their creators' specifications. Now that the Inevitables have been made, Dwarves have been set aside. They are obsolete tools in the eyes of their creator. Now purposeless, they have decided to venture out of the Underearth to create their own destinies. Some may even hope that if they do well enough at that, their creator will give them new work to do. They are not dour- they are purposeful. They are creations created to create, so create they must- making them among the world's best crafters. Because of their nature (read, they have innate armor which gives them ACF), they are poor arcane casters. Their structure makes them both powerful (Powerful build) and sturdy (Stability, Con bonus). Due to their construction, they are somewhat heat resistant. Again, this is somewhat of a melding of the Dwarf and Warforged racial concepts, but with a different flavor. And of course, some other elements besides. [/QUOTE]
