Alternate Racial Traits
Craftsman
Dwarves are known for superior craftsmanship and their reputation is well deserved. Dwarves with this trait gain a +2 racial bonus on all Craft or Profession checks to create objects from metal or stone. They also do not have to spend additional time to add the masterwork quality to a weapon or set of armor they are making. They must spend additional materials and make additional checks as normal.
This replaces explorer.

Instead of wielding the mountains strength, some embody its stability. These dwarves gain a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks made to cross narrow ledges and on saving throws against altitude fatigue and sickness and a +4 racial bonus to their CMD when resisting bull rush or trip attempts while standing on the ground.
This replaces might of the mountain.
