ALTERNATE RACIAL FEATURES
Craftsman: Dwarves are known for their superior craftsmanship when it comes to metallurgy and stonework. Dwarves with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on all Craft or Profession checks related to metal or stone. This racial trait replaces greed.
Habitual Maintenance: The innate thrift and craftsmanship of many dwarven cultures can become ingrained, to the point that they repair, sharpen, and maintain their equipment without even thinking about it. They gain a limited version of blacksmith maintenance class feature. They may apply one of the following maintenances to themself with an effective blacksmith level of 1: armor maintenance, cobbling, heavy-duty reinforcement, or pack straps. They may perform this maintenance in addition to any others they can perform. This replaces greed, stonecunning, and weapon familiarity.
Healthy: Dwarves with this racial trait gain a +2 racial bonus on saves against disease and poison, and they need one fewer consecutive successful save (minimum 1) to be cured of diseases and poisons. This racial trait replaces hardy.
Minesight: Dwarves with this racial trait increase the range of their darkvision to 90 feet but gain the Light Sensitivity weakness. This racial trait replaces darkvision.
Stability: Dwarves gain a +4 racial bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense when resisting a bull rush or trip attempt while standing on the ground. This racial trait replaces dwarven weapon training.
Siege Survivor: Many dwarves are trained to outlast sieges and serve as vigilant guards. Whenever a dwarf with this trait starts and ends his turn in the same space, he gains a +2 racial bonus to damage rolls until the start of his next turn. This racial trait replaces greed and stonecunning.
Stoic Negotiator: Some dwarves use their unwavering stubbornness to get what they want in negotiations and other business matters. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Influence and Profession (merchant) checks. This racial trait replaces stonecunning.
Stubborn: Dwarves are renowned for their stubbornness. Dwarves with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on Will saves to resist spells and spell-like abilities of the enchantment (charm) and enchantment (compulsion) schools. In addition, if they fail such a save, they receive another save 1 round later to prematurely end the effect (assuming it has a duration greater than 1 round). This second save is made at the same DC as the first. If the dwarf has a similar ability from another source (such as a rogue’s slippery mind), he can only use one of these abilities per round, but he can try the other on the second round if the first reroll ability fails. This racial trait replaces hardy.
Thirst for Vengeance: Dwarves are notorious for their grudges. Those who live up to this racial reputation gain a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against any individual creature that has damaged them within the last 24 hours. This racial trait replaces dwarven weapon training.
Treasure Sense: Some dwarves have learned to sense the presence of material wealth with dragonlike precision. This ability functions as scent, except it can detect only precious metals (copper, silver, and gold) and creatures primarily made of such materials. This racial trait replaces greed and stonecunning.
RACIAL FEATS
Breadth of Experience [Background]
Although still young for your kind, you have a lifetime of knowledge and training.
Prerequisites: dwarf, elf, or gnome; 100+ years old.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Knowledge and Profession skill checks, and can make checks with those skills untrained.
Dwarven Ringsmith
You can imbue magical rings with a unique spiritual signature.
Prerequisites: Forge Ring, dwarf
Benefit: You can imbue magical rings with a unique signature which responds only to your own personal power. As long as you wear only magical rings that you craft yourself, you may wear up to three magical rings while simultaneously gaining the benefits of all three. This personal signature also makes it immediately and empathically apparent to you when you don a magical ring that you did not create, no matter how finely-crafted a forgery of your own it might be. Finally, if you also possess the Master Craftsman feat, you may count your skill ranks in the chosen skill as your effective caster level when creating magical rings.
Normal: You may wear and gain the benefits of two magical rings at once.
Dwarven Vitality
You are remarkably resistant to disease.
Prerequisites: hardy racial trait, dwarf

Smith's Sight [Background]
You can discern the properties of magic items without spells.
Prerequisites: 3 ranks in any Craft skill, dwarf
Benefit: You can identify the properties of magical items by making a successful Craft skill check in place of a Spellcraft skill check. The type of the Craft check must be the same type required to create the item (for example: Craft [weapons] for a sword, Craft [armor] for a shield, and so on). You do not need to cast the detect magic spell to identify the properties of an item in this way, but identifying an item with this feat takes a little longer than it would otherwise, requiring one minute of concentration per item examined.
Normal: Identifying a magic item requires a Spellcraft skill check and the use of a detect magic spell or similar magic.
Steel Soul
You are especially resistant to magic.
Prerequisites: dwarf, hardy racial trait.
Benefit: You receive a +4 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities. This replaces the normal bonus from the dwarf’s hardy racial trait.

Toxic Recovery
Your system recuperates from the effects of poisons with astonishing speed.
Prerequisites: dwarf, hardy racial trait.
Benefit: Whenever you succeed at a saving throw against poison, you heal 1 point of ability damage of the type dealt by the poison.
