A NEW VIEW OF DWARVES
by Larry Smith
October 1976
This Dragon article takes a look at dwarves in OD&D.
It's interesting to note the Tolkien references in the first paragraph -- these were the days of Hobbits, Balrogs, and Ents in D&D.
As time goes on, we'll see a few more articles about dwarves in AD&D. Here is a list of the OD&D / AD&D articles:
DWARVES
A Special Section : Dwarves (58.23)
A New View of Dwarves (3.26)
The Dwarven Point of View (58.24)
A Quick Look at Dwarves (27.20)
Bazaar of the Bizarre (58.27)
Sage Advice (58.28)
Old Dwarvish is Still New to Scholars of Language Lore (66.51)
Runestones (69.12)
Worth it's Weight in Gold : A dwarf's beard is more than hair (109.28)
AL : Magic of the Dwarven Priests (129.8)
So, here's a couple of questions about dwarves:
A) In AD&D, how do you handle the weights and costs of dwarvish armor?
B) In AD&D, how do you handle dwarven movement rates? (they move with a base 9", not a base 12")
