Editing Half-Dwarf (section)

====Dragonlance====
As mentioned above, Dragonlance has half-dwarves, and 3.5 made them playable in the Races of Ansalon splat-book. Half-dwarfs are rare, and almost entirely hill dwarf-blooded; the more isolationist mountain dwarves simply don't interact with humans that much, and dark dwarves pretty much never see humans, so their half-dwarves pretty much don't exist. Half-gully dwarves do NOT exist, period; no human would EVER mate with a gully dwarf.

The progeny of humans and dwarves are taller than dwarves on average, ranging in height from 5 to 5 1/2 feet. They are stockier, broader in the shoulders and hips, with a tendency towards shorter legs and wider faces when compared to humans. Half-dwarves inherit the ethnic traits of their human parent. Half-dwarves may pass as dwarves with a +8 bonus to Disguise checks, but they are usually too tall and human-like to fool their dwarven kin. Half-dwarf characters possess the following racial traits. 
::Humanoid (dwarf): Half-dwarves are humanoids with the dwarf subtype. 
::A half-dwarf’s base land speed is 30 feet. 
::Darkvision out to 60 feet. 
::Weapon Familiarity: Half-dwarves have the same weapon familiarity as dwarves. 
::+2 racial bonus on Craft and Appraise checks. Half- dwarves inherit the dwarf’s keen eye for craftsmanship, and their human heritage expands this to more than just stone and metal. 
::Stability: A half-dwarf gains a +2 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing firmly on the ground. Though not as stocky as their dwarf parents, half-dwarves still have a lower center of gravity than humans. 
::+1 racial bonus on saving throws against poison. 
::+1 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects. 
::Automatic Languages: Common, Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Any. Half-dwarves often take up their human parent’s regional language as a bonus language. 
::[[Favored Class]]: Any. When determining whether a multiclass half-dwarf takes an experience penalty, his highest-level class does not count.
