Dwarves are bi-pedal humanoids. Their size is small by most racial standards. A mature Dwarf generally stands between 3 and a half to 4 and a half feet tall.
They normally have a stocky build. The average male Dwarf weighs between 135 to 175 pounds. Females average between 100 to 145 pounds.
Their eye coloring varies widely. Their vision is very keen so keen infact that it can reach into the IR spectrum.
Dwarves typically share the same skin tones as humans. Their hair is usually at least shoulder length and sometimes braided. Facial hair is almost universal.
A Dwarf's lifespan generally ranges from 150 to 250 years.
Dwarves generally prefer to live underground. Especially in mines and caverns with small spaces that give them an advantage against larger enemies. They are omniverous surviving off both animals and vegetation.
Key Features: Dwarves are distinguished by their height and build. Unless someone clearly falls into another catagory short stocky creatures will almost always be labelled as Dwarves, especially if they have beards.
Note: All races will vary from world to world. Almost everything listed above is stereo typical information. Only information listed as "Key Features" will be a constant as these things are what universally cause a creature to be labelled a certian race. An Elf may not have ever heard the term "Elf". His people may have another name which they call themselves. But if he looks like what other worlds consider an "Elf" that is what he will be considered by the city of Nessus and the game. Some races may share "Key Features" in those cases the stereo-typical information wil be used to give a creature a label. Creatures which dont seem to fit into any catagory will be considered Mystical Creatures.
