THE PLAYER RACES IN CHAMPIONS OF KRYNN There are seven races (described below) from which you may construct your player characters . Each race has different talents and limitations . The Range of Ability Scores by Race chart on page 56 lists each player race's limits on ability scores . There are charts and tables in the appendix at the back of the Journal that summarize the abilities and class limitations for the dif- ferent races. Non-human characters can combine character classes and may also have additional special abilities . Hill Dwarves are a stubborn and rough race of sturdy workers and craftsmen. They are especially resistant to magic and poison . During combat, dwarves receive bonuses when attacking goblins and hobgoblins and are adept at dodging the attacks of ogres and Hill Dwarf giants. Dwarves can be fighters, and bonuses.
