Dwarves of Amar

Bold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a human standing nearly two feet taller. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.   Dwarven skin ranges from deep brown to a paler hue tinged with red, but the most common shades are light brown or deep tan, like certain tones of earth. Their hair, worn long but in simple styles, is usually black, gray, or brown, though paler dwarves often have red hair. Male dwarves value their beards highly and groom them carefully.   Some dwarves, particularly those with paler skin or lighter hair tend to be social outcasts and pariah's due to their role in the Sundering. They are expected to always be subservient to humans. These dwarves usually are not allowed to hold high stations in life, and generally relegated to lives of service or slavery.

Gray Dwarf

Ability Score Increase +2 Con, +1 Str
Size Medium
Speed 25ft.

During the age of magic a number of Dwarves joined the cause of the Betrayer. For their role in the Sundering they were banished from the surface world and now form colonies in the Depths. The gray dwarves came from all clans of dwarves, and as such their heights and builds run the gamut. Their skin is generally pale and lacking much color, which earned them the name Gray Dwarves.   Ability Score Increase: Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.   Dwarven Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.   Dwarven Combat Training: You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.   Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with the artisan’s tools of your choice: smith’s tools, brewer’s supplies, or mason’s tools.   Stonecunning: Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.   Darkvision: Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.   Gray Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against illusions and against being charmed or paralyzed.   Gray Magic: When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the enlarge/reduce spell on yourself once with this trait, using only the spell’s enlarge option. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the invisibility spell on yourself once with this trait. You don’t need material components for either spell, and you can’t cast them while you’re in direct sunlight, although sunlight has no effect on them once cast. You regain the ability to cast these spells with this trait when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.   Sunlight Sensitivity: You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.
