Dwarfs are a race of small but stout race of mountain dwellers brought on to the edge of extinction. They try to avoid contact with any other races except for exiles from their society who live among humans. Dwarven adventurers are usually exiles, who either settled in the Groβe Reich or roam the Barbaric Frontier. 

Tunnel fighter: Dwarves gain an extra +1 when fighting underground.

Keen Detection: Dwarves have 2 in 6 chances to succeed when rolling 1d6 attempting to spot traps, slanting passages, and new construction while underground.

Hard to Hit: Being small, Dwarves typically are awarded some defensive bonus in combat because they are hard to hit(+2 against men-folk and +4 against giants).

Saving Throw: Dwarves don’t use magic and as such are somewhat immune to it; Dwarves get +4 on saving throws vs. magic. Since they are such hardy folk, dwarves also get +1 on saving throws against death, poisons and insanity.

Bitchy magic of the Barbaric Frontier- spell casting procedure house rule

Magic in the world of the Barbaric Frontier is not your common vanilla fantasy thing. It's danegerous to cast spells - if someone fail at casting, he will at least become partially insane . To reflect this I've made a small addition to the typical vancian magic. Every time magic-user attempts to cast a spell, he must make a saving throw with the negative modifier as the level of the cast spell. If he fails, player must consult the table below: 

Roll 1d8	Effect
1	Caster loses 1d4 insanity points
2	Caster loses 1d6 insanity points
3	Caster ages 2d4 years
4	Offensive spell is being cast on the caster; healing spell has the reversed effect
5	Monstrosity from the Beyond attacks the caster and his allies(a random demon is summoned at the discretion of the Referee
6	1d8 insanity points
7	Caster falls unconscious
8	Caster recieves 1d6 damage
