Description
Dwarves are a short race, as their name implies, stading from 4'3" to 4'9" (1.3m to 1.45m) on average. While shorter than humans, they typically weight about the same. Like humans, dwarves have a wide variety of skin, eye, and hair colors, though mountain dwarves tend to have fairer skin than their hill dwarf counterparts.
