5.0 out of 5 stars Gives a new look at the Dwarves, August 13, 1999

I've been a long time Elf lover. But once I picked up this book I changed my tune. What I once considered drab angry little creatures are actually quite interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend this book to any player but more so for a DM since it will help flesh out any dwarf holdings in your land.

This AD&D (2nd edition) book is an in-depth examination of that pillar of fantasy literature - Dwarves. It has chapters on dwarven mythology, subraces, sociology (so you can better understand how dwarves think), character creation, proficiencies (26 new or specialized ones), kits (24 new ones!), personalities, mining (complete with rules for running your own mine), equipment, strongholds, and designing dwarf campaigns.

Yep, this fantastic book has it all! If you run an AD&D dwarf character, or you are just interested in new kits and ways of running campaigns, then I highly recommend this book to you. It is definitely a must-have for AD&D (2nd edition)!

I bought this book when it first came out and just loved it. There is so much detailed about dwarves in here and different kinds of dwarves that can be played. If you have a dwarven campaign going this is definitly worth having!!
