So I was talking to one of the DMs, and he said that the player who died last session has finally come up with a new character. However, because of where we are an elf or half-elf would suffice, or a dwarf or half-dwarf. The problem is there are no half-dwarves. He said he found one online, and it's what we're going to use. Personally I'd never use it, but that's just me. It's just so weak by comparison to any of the other half breeds.
Half-Dwarf Racial Traits
* Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures, Half-Dwarf have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
* A Half-Dwarf has a base speed of 30.
* Darkvision: Half-Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal site. Half-Dwarves can function just fine with no light at all.
* +2 Bonus on Craft checks. This bonus must be applied to a single Craft skill, chosen at 1st level. Half-Dwarves share their dwarven parents' love of crafting, but their human heritage allows them to craft beyond stone or metal.
* Automatic Languages: Common and Dwarven.
* Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass Half-Dwarf suffers an XP penalty, his highest-level class does not count.
As you can see, it's about as good as the half-orc. Personally I think both races need updating, but for the half-dwarf I would at least add:
Dwarf Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-dwarf is considered an dwarf.
