PFS StandardDwarf Stonecaster

All dwarves share a connection to the earth, but stonecasters have focused and polished that connection. Their years of meditation have granted them the ability to create boulders and shake the very earth. These elemental specialists are often highly respected in their community, which prizes their art of geomancy. Young dwarves who show a stronger than normal connection to the earth might be sent to a stonecaster to train at an early age.

Dwarf

Source Monster Core pg. 135 1.1
A dwarf's strength comes from their stoic determination, quality equipment, and their ability to hold grudges for centuries.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Clan Memory

Dwarves often have strong connections to their family and their clan. The grudges held by members of such clans are shared among its members and across generations. However, the honor of their friends is also shared in the same way. This can sometimes lead to a dwarf having a strong opinion about a person based on the actions of an ancient relative.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Dwarven Beards

While the idea of a dwarf typically brings to mind a stout, bearded man, the beard isn't exclusively a feature among male dwarves. Any dwarf, regardless of gender, is capable of growing an impressive beard. In surface dwarven cultures, men tend to be the ones most likely to grow and maintain a beard. Among underground dwarves, beards are more common across the board. Growing a beard is ultimately a matter of personal taste.

Sidebar - Locations Rivethun

The practice known as Rivethun is the most popular form of spiritual connection among dwarves. Rivethun teaches that spirits are everywhere and even gods are themselves spirits, albeit much higher in a spiritual hierarchy. Rivethun adherents learn to tap into past pains to help focus their minds and use this focus to unlock greater potential within themselves. Whether this potential is in the form of spellcasting or a greater understanding of spirits varies between individuals.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Strata Of Life

Dwarves tend to be broken up into three groups: underground dwarves, mountain dwarves, and surface dwarves. Each of these groups lives within a different elevation but tend to share common traits within their particular stratum. Underground dwarves tend to be more traditionalist as they're more closely connected to ancient dwarven origins. Mountain dwarves are usually in search of glory, either through their skill, knowledge, or combat prowess. Surface dwarves are the most varied, and their cultures greatly outnumber those of other dwarves.
