Homebrew Boorish Dwarf Species Details
A mixture of the Hill Dwarf and the Giant Boar. Sporting the large stocky build of the dwarf with the mobility of a giant boar. Not as fast as a centaur, but much faster than the average dwarf. These Boorish Dwarves are the rude, rural cousins of Hill Dwarves that prefer to live in a more agrarian society even compared to the Hill Dwarves. They have the large, stocky torso of the Hill Dwarf on top of the Giant Boar's massive body. This gives the Boorish Dwarf slightly more mobility, when compared to the average dwarf, but nowhere near that of a centaur. The natural stockiness of both the Hill Dwarf and Giant Boar lend themselves to make this race all the more hardy and tough.
