Your dwarf character has an assortment of inborn abilities, part
and parcel of dwarven nature.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2.
Age. Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they’re
considered young until they reach the age o f 50. On average,
they live about 350 years.
Alignment. Most dwarves are lawful, believing firmly in the
benefits o f a well-ordered society. They tend toward good as
well, with a strong sense o f fair play and a belief that
everyone deserves to share in the benefits of a just order.
Size. Dwarves stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and average about
150 pounds. Your s ize is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not
reduced by wearing heavy armor.
Darkvision. Accustomed to life underground, you have superior
vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light
within 60 feet o f you as if it w ere bright light, and in
darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in
darkness, only shades o f gray.
Dwarven Resilience. You have advantage on saving throws against
poison, and you have resistance against poison damage (explained
in chapter 9).
Dwarven Combat Training. You have proficiency with the
battleaxe, handaxe, throwing hammer, and warhammer.
Tool Proficiency. You gain proficiency with the artisan’s tools
o f your choice: smith’s tools, brewer’s supplies, or mason’s
tools.

related to the origin o f stonework, you are considered
proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency
bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish.
Dwarvish is full o f hard consonants and guttural sounds, and
those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a
dwarf might speak.
Subrace. Two main subraces o f dwarves populate the worlds o f
D&D: hill dwarves and mountain dwarves. Choose one o f these
subraces.
Hill Dwarf
As a hill dwarf, you have keen senses, deep intuition, and
remarkable resilience. The gold dwarves of Faerun in their
mighty southern kingdom are hill dwarves, as are the exiled
Neidar and the debased Klar o f Krynn in the Dragonlance
setting.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Dwarven Toughness. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it
increases by 1 every time you gain a level.
Mountain Dwarf
As a mountain dwarf, you're strong and hardy, accustomed to a
difficult life in rugged terrain. You’re probably on the tall
side (for a dwarf), and tend toward lighter coloration. The
shield dwarves o f northern Faerun, as w ell as the ruling Hylar
clan and the noble Daewar clan o f Dragonlance, are mountain
dwarves.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2.
Dwarven Armor Training. You have proficiency with light and
medium armor.

illusion and against being charmed or paralyzed.
Duergar 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, a lthough
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 a re trying to perceive
