==Elemental Dwarves== Since the dawn of the game, the [[Element]]al Plane of Fire has been home to [[Azer]]s, who look like bronze-skinned dwarves with great flaming beards & hair. For most editions, they have been officially classified as "not dwarves", with Pathfinder describing them as a race of elemental constructs who just happen to look like dwarves (a step 5e basically stole). 4e, however, went and said "yes, they're dwarves; at the dawn of time, dwarves were slaves to [[giant]]s (who're [[elemental]]s) - the ones who didn't get away in time eventually became elementals themselves". There's also the oft-forgotten Earth elemental the [[Galeb Duhr]], who became a rock-elemental dwarf in 3e and stayed that way in 4e. Dwarves mutated into elemental beings or otherwise [[planetouched]] have always been a minor concept, but do exist. The most obvious are the [[Azerblood]]s, dwarven fire [[genasi]] descended from [[azer]]s, in 3rd edition. The oldest are the earth-manipulating, god-touched [[Urdunnir]] of the [[Forgotten Realms]]. 3rd edition introduced the obscure [[Frost Dwarf|Frost Dwarves]] as an extraplanar race, as well as obscure elementally-touched variant dwarf races. 4th edition introduced the [[Eisk Jaat]], an icy counterpart to the Azer and Galeb Duhr who, like them, descends from dwarves that mutated due to being trapped in the [[Elemental Chaos]] by the [[giant]]s. [[Dragon Magazine]] #383 contains the rules and lore for Forgeborn Dwarves, a dwarfin variant representing clans who didn't ''quite'' get away from the Giants in time. They basically took a racial feat that gave them resistance to Acid, Cold, Fire and Lightning damage and let them deal bonus elemental damage whenever they hit someone once per encounter.
