Dwarf

Dwarves are deliberate with where they choose to go. Dwarves decrease their pace by 1 and reduce their running die by a type (A d4 is only reduced to d4-1)

Dwarves are resilient and tough. They start with a d6 Vigor instead of a d4. This increases maximum Vigor to d12 + 1.

Dwarves can detect and see heat. This halves Illumination penalties when attacking targets that radiate heat.

Dwarves have an instinctual knowledge of materials. They know just where to strike objects or armored foes to cause the most damage. Any weapon in the hands of a dwarf ignores 1 point of armor (in addition to any AP value the weapon may already have) on a successful hit. If the dwarf gets a raise on the attack roll, he ignores 2 points of armor. The racial trait applies against all forms of armor, natural or magical.

Dwarves have an overriding desire that comes up frequently or causes peril for the heroine and those around her.
