Homebrew Dwelf Species Details

As a dwelf you gain the following racial traits

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak. 

Ability score increase

While Dwelfs have not been around long enough to know their exact lifespan people estimate close to 700 years because of their shared heritage. Dwelfs are estimated to live for around 500-700 years.
