Clan Dagger
Dwarves who are not casteless or surface dwarves get one clan dagger for free, as it was given to them at birth. Selling this clan dagger is a terrible taboo and earns them the disdain of other dwarves.
Heritages
Ancient-Blooded Dwarf
Dwarven heroes of old could shrug off their enemies' magic, and some of that resistance manifests in you. You gain the Call on Ancient Blood reaction.
Call on Ancient Blood: As a reaction, when you attempt a saving throw against a magical effect but you haven't rolled yet, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus until the end of this turn. This bonus also applies to the triggering save.
Casteless Dwarf
You scraped out a life among criminals, scavengers, or mercenaries, and carry the bitter pride of surviving without a name to lean on. You do not receive a clan dagger, but instead gain a +1 circumstance bonus to checks to Lie, Hide, or Request in urban or lawless environments where your background gives you an edge.
Death Warden Dwarf
Your ancestors were tomb guardians, and their power to ward off death passed on to you. If you roll a success on a saving throw against an effect that has the void trait or was created by an undead creature, you get a critical success instead.
Forge Dwarf
You have a remarkable adaptation to hot environments. This grants you fire resistance equal to half your level (minimum 1), and you treat environmental heat effects as if they were one step less extreme (incredible heat becomes extreme, extreme heat becomes severe, and so on).
Rock Dwarf
Your ancestors lived and worked among the ancient stones of the mountains or the depths of the earth. This makes you solid as a rock when you plant your feet. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your Fortitude or Reflex DC against attempts to Reposition, Shove, or Trip you. This bonus also applies to saving throws against spells or effects that attempt to force you to move or knock you prone. In addition, if any effect would force you to move 10 feet or more, you are moved only half the distance.
Strong-Blooded Dwarf
Your blood runs hearty and strong, and you can shake off toxins. You gain poison resistance equal to half your level (minimum 1), and each of your successful saving throws against a poison affliction reduces its stage by 2, or by 1 for a virulent poison. Each critical success against an ongoing poison reduces its stage by 3, or by 2 for a virulent poison.
Surface Dwarf
Either by desire or exile, one of your ancestors left their homelands and never looked back. You gain the Assurance skill feat in Survival, and you are not affected by altitude sickness, sun glare, or environmental effects caused by exposure to high elevations or open plains.
