'''Hill dwarves''' are extremely robust but poor at using magic. They are excellent at melee combat, especially with [[axes]] or [[Maces & Flails|bludgeoning weapons]], and are good at using [[armour]] and [[shields]], but are poor at missile combat or at using [[polearms]] (which are usually too big for them to wield comfortably). The only forms of magic which they can use with even a minimal degree of aptitude are [[Earth Magic|earth]], [[Fire Magic|fire]], and [[conjuration]]s. They advance in levels at a similar rate to [[Elf|common elves]].

The [[Hill Dwarf]] race was <span style='color:red;font-weight:bold'>removed</span> in version [[0.3]] due to similarity to the [[Mountain Dwarf]] race.

==Available Classes==
Hill dwarves can be [[Fighter]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Thief|Thieves]], [[Gladiator]]s, [[Berserker]]s, [[Hunter]]s, [[Conjurer]]s, [[Enchanter]]s, [[Fire Elementalist]]s, [[Earth Elementalist]]s and [[Healer]]s.

==Level Bonuses==
* +1 [[hp]] every 2 out of 3 levels
* -1 [[mp]] every 2 levels
* +1 [[Strength]] every 4 levels

-Hill dwarves were removed in [[0.3]] due to their similarity to [[mountain dwarves]].  Their aptitudes were nearly identical. MD were slightly better at magic, while HD were slightly better at melee, but the difference was quite marginal: never more than +/-20 in the old aptitude system, and always less than a difference of +/-1 in the new system.  When HD were removed, some of MD's aptitudes (notably Axes and M&F) were changed to compensate.
