but those with weakness or illness are often abandoned to die for the good of the hunting group.

Woodland Cunning. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Survival) check related to forest terrain you are
considered proficient in the Survival skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check,
instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

Mud Armour. You are covered in hair plastered in mud forming crude armour. When you aren't
wearing manufactured armour, your AC is 11 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural
armour to determine your AC if the armour you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's
benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armour.
Languages. Wild dwarves speak a dialect of Dwarven, as well as Common. Dwarvish is full of hard
consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a
dwarf might speak.
