Editing Duergar (section)

==Publication History==
Duergar first appeared in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition, appearing as a monster in the [[Monster Manual]] II and then as a player character race in [[Unearthed Arcana]]. They were subsequently updated to 2nd edition in the Monstrous Compendium Volume 2 (which was reprinted in the Monstrous Manual) as monsters, and as PCs in the Complete Book of Dwarves and in Player's Option: Skills & Powers. Rules for psionic duergar were presented in the Complete [[Psionics]] Handbook.

In third edition, Duergar first appeared in the 3.0 [[Monster Manual]] as an NPC, with a "Level Equivalent" in the DMG for adapting them into a playable race. They then appeared as a proper fully playable race in the 2001 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, and then in just about every other splatbook where one might find dwarves. The Expanded Psionics Handbook offered adjustments for converting the Duergar to a psionic race, though it did not include a full stat block for the converted race. 3rd party settings brought evil-dwarf alternatives.  The [[Scarred Lands]] setting had [[Charduni]], more focused on militarism than on slavery.

In 4th edition, duergar appeared as monsters and PCs both in the [[Monster Manual]] 2.

In 5th edition, duergar appear as enemies in the [[Monster Manual]] and as a playable [[dwarf]] subrace in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. They were given expanded backlore and reprinted PC stats in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.
