+Deep Dwarves
+------------
+Deep Dwarves are a species who, unlike their Mountain Dwarf relatives,
+never left their underground home. Living there for countless
+generations made them pale and lose all ability to regenerate on their
+own (nor are they receptive to outside effects which merely hasten
+regeneration), as well as all ability to recover from losses to physical
+attributes over time. On the other hand, Deep Dwarves have developed the
+ability to instantly counteract small doses of damage.
+
+Given their lack of innate healing, few Deep Dwarves want for adventures
+or even combat. Those who do usually bring a wand of healing, or rely on
+divine assistance.
+
+Naturally, Deep Dwarves are quite adept with all arts of avoiding blows
+and damage and ungifted in the ways of physical combat. Those who have
+to defend their ground most often go with ranged combat (except for
+bows, which are too unwieldy for them) or spells. Deep Dwarves are
+highly spiritual beings, often portrayed as actual spirits by outsiders.
+They are most at home with the magics of earth and death.
+
+Most unlike all other dwarves, they are pretty nimble. Deep Dwarves can
+easily tinker with gadgets so as to recharge them. However, each time
+they do so, they lose a bit of their magical essence.
