Half-Dwarven Player Race
Half-Dwarves (Total: 10 Race Points)
Dwarves and Humans aren't normally able to reproduce, but sometimes through the assistance of powerful magic or alchemical means, such a pairing can produce children. Half-Dwarves stand shorter than Humans and taller than Dwarves, appearing more stout than Humans with heavier features (cheekbones, chins, noses, bone structure in general) but not quite to the extent of a full blooded Dwarf. Like Dwarves, beards are common on Males and heavy braids around the ears common on females as the hair in those areas grow faster than in Humans (though not quite as fast as found in their Full Dwarven kin). Half-Dwarves can reproduce with Humans or Dwarves, but oddly, a side effect of the magic needed to bring them to term means they can't reproduce with each other (though were a Half-Dwarf pair to use similar means as their Human and Dwarven parents, then on such occasion could a pairing bear children). Half-Dwarven Twins, while rare, have been known to happen, whereas Half-Dwarven Triplets have yet to be seen.
