Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.

A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.

A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework.

Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like.

Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and dwarves can function just fine with no light at all.

Darkvision: Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet.

However, dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).

Medium: As Medium creatures, dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

When determining whether a multiclass human takes an experience point penalty, his or her highest-level class does not count. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).

4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level.
