The Dwarves are the hardy scions of Mostrai. The traditional profession of the dwarf is smithery, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a dwarf who is not competent at it. Whether their great strength and hardiness lead them to become smiths and miners, or whether their profession leads to their strength and hardiness is unknown. Their thick musculature makes them slow of body, and seemingly, some of their muscle has crept into their brain. Perhaps their repetitive tasks dull their minds, perhaps they're simply born dumb.

Dwarves can see in the dark, but they're slightly impious and tend to be a bit poor at controlling magic. Despite this, there are indeed dwarven clerics and mages. They're just not quite as good as human clerics or mages.

The dwarf is selectable by players as their race. It has the following modifications:

• Can see in dark

Dwarves are the default race in the character select screen in Crossfire. There's not too much to say about them aside from them being a bit better than humans thanks to innate dark vision, as well as high Str and Con which helps them wear heavy equipment, haul loot, and survive hits well. They make fine spellcasters too, even if their spell stat maximums are slightly lower.
