completeness.

Chapter 1: Races

p. 3: Errata: On Table 1-1, the Half-Hobgoblin (Kargi) racial adjustments should be +2

Constitution and -2 Intelligence. The Half-Hobgoblin (Krangi or other) racial
adjustments should be +2 Dexterity, -2 Wisdom and -2 Charisma.

Hill Dwarves:
• Dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, 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).
• Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as
martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
• Stability: A dwarf gains 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).

Mountain Dwarves:
• Dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, 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).
• Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as
martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
• Stability: A dwarf gains 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).
Mountain Dwarves have the following abilities in addition to those listed in the text.
§ Stonecunning.

§ +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison.

§ +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell like effects.
§ +1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.

Stone Dwarves:
The Skirmisher ability grants Two Weapon Fighting since Ambidexterity does not exist
anymore.
• Dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, 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).
• Stone dwarves don’t get any Weapon Familiarity. Their remote living habits made them
less picky about their weapon choices.
• Stability: A dwarf gains 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).
• As cavedwellers, Stone Dwarves are hardy and resilient. They gain the Stone Bones feat
(+1 natural AC) for free. Surface dwelling dwarves with the Stone Bones feat probably
had some Stone Dwarf ancestors.
• Stone Dwarves are cave dwellers and need to climb a lot. They gain a racial +2 to climb
checks.

count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty.

Alchemy is just renamed, Weapon Familiarity and Illusion Mastery is new and the Speak
with animals is included in the spell like ability section instead of the languages.

rather than exotic weapons.
