Dwarf Longshot Squad

While many dwarves train to master hammers and shields, others seek to become masters of ranged weapons, usually sturdy and dwarven-built crossbows. Dwarven armies employ longshot squads as the first line of defense, especially outside of cramped tunnels and subterranean caverns.

Frequency once per round Effect Using blades attached to their crossbows, the dwarven longshots engages in a coordinated melee attack against enemies in a 5-foot emanation, with a DC 24 basic Reflex save. The damage depends on the number of actions.
[one-action] 1d8+2 piercing damage
[two-actions] 2d8+11 piercing damage
[three-actions] 3d8+13 piercing damageBolts from the Blue [two-actions] The dwarven longshots reload their crossbows, then launch a ranged attack in the form of a volley. This volley is a 15-foot burst within 120 feet that deals 6d6 piercing damage with a DC 24 basic Reflex saving throw. When the dwarven longshot squad is reduced to 2 segments, this area decreases to a 10-foot burst.Hampering Fusillade [two-actions] The dwarven longshots fire dozens of bolts in quick succession to slow down advancing enemies. Each creature in a 30-foot burst within 120 feet must attempt a DC 24 Fortitude saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speed for 1 minute. Spending an Interact action to remove the bolts ends this penalty.

Longshots With Guns

Dwarves from Dongun Hold and similar places have access to firearms, and you might choose to reflect this by giving the dwarf longshot squad rifles. Adjust the stat block to have the uncommon trait and replace mentions of “crossbows” to “rifles” and “bolts” to “bullets.” In addition, give the Bolts from the Blue action the concussive trait, meaning that it deals bludgeoning or piercing damage, whichever would be more detrimental to each target (you may also want to refer to it as “Bullets from the Blue”). Finally, replace Hampering Fusillade with the following ability.

Bullet Smog [two-actions] The dwarven longshots fire their rifles in rapid succession to create a cloud of smoke within 120 feet. This cloud is a 20-foot burst and lasts for 1 minute or until it is dispersed by a strong wind, whichever comes first. All creatures within the cloud become concealed, and all creatures outside the cloud become concealed to creatures within it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
