Dwarves

Dwarves

An dwarf gains the following features: Your constitution score is increased by 2, your speed is 25ft(5sq), resistance against poison and You gain the honour score which starts with a score between 0 and 20(talk with your DM which score would fit your dwarf, depending on your background etc)

Honour score explained

Honour score can rise and drop by actions you do, by doing honourable things your score can increase while doing dishonourable things could cause it to drop, this often just happens by one point, but it could increase or decrease by more if something extreme happens(like the dwarf kills off half of his original clan). Honour will even change with no other witnesses because honour is so ingrained in dwarf culture that other dwarves always start acting on their honour score, even unconsciously.
Dwarves use honour on most social rolls, persuasion? honour. Lying to someone? see if they trust you via your honour. Charisma is pretty much out of the window and only used for certain things like spellcasting.

History

Dwarves rarely had a land to call their own, with the only notable being As-Gallia, that is currently under Etherian control. The dwarves are a thrifty folk, they craft, forge and shape. Dwarven creations are well known for their high quality(and thus often pricey) one of the more recent creations that was made by dwarves where guns for example, a weapon that revolutionized warfare and made sure Tulvia could extend their war for multiple decades. The dwarves are very on themselves, groups of dwarves, known as clans exist out of family and sometimes friends, dwarves do switch clans so now and then, this may happen because they do not approve certain actions of the clan and switch sides or a member gets excommunicated and picked up by another clan. These clans(and dwarves on themselves) work on honour, stories of honourable or dishonourable deeds rapidly spread across other nearby clans, which can turn simple dwarves into well known heroes across the lands or a traitor to dwarven kind itself.
