Astilan/Drueregar
From Traditional Games Wiki
- +2 Constitution, -4 Charisma
- Medium: As Medium creatures, duergar have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
- Duergar base land speed is 20 feet. However, gray dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).
- Darkvision out to 60 feet.
- +2 racial bonus on saves against paralysis, phantasms, poison, spells and spell-like effects.
- Stability: Dueregar are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dueregar receives a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
- Stonecunning: This ability grants a dueregar a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework, traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework.
- A Drueregar who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dueregar can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dueregar can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Dueregar have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.

- Light Sensitivity (Ex): Dueregar are dazzled in sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.
- Dueregar have a +2 racial bonus on Appraise and Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.
