These races are varied, and one of the most notable aspects of them is that the races of Prism will have more story related abilities instead of specific mechanical effects. This is why, for example, races will no longer give stat adjustments or ability scores. # <center>Core Races</center> ## <center>[Dwarf](Prism%20(Testing)/Races/Core%20Races/Dwarf/Dwarf.md)</center> Racial Passive : [Heart of Stone](Heart%20of%20Stone.md) - You gain [Resistance](Resistance.md) to [Poison](Poison.md)/[Toxic](Toxic.md) and [Diseased](Diseased.md)/[Plagued](Plagued.md). ###### <center>Sub-Races</center> >[!Columns| 2 no-t n-th] >>[!recite|no-i]- [Duergar](Duergar.md) >> >><center>Continent of Origin: Various</center> >> >><center>Dwarves from the Underworld are blessed by Astaroth, and have proficiency with Heavy Warrior Armor.</center> > >>[!recite|no-i]- Midgard >> >><center>Continent of Origin: Whyxxstar</center> >> >><center>Dwarves from Whyxxstar are talented crafters from birth, and start with the additional Origin Crafter.</center> > >>[!recite|no-i]- Steam Scourged >> >><center>Continent of Origin: Kalkatesh</center> >> >><center>Dwarves of Kalkatesh, exposed to decades of Steam production, have they themselves been infused with mana.
