Dwarves are short and stocky fellows. They have ruddy cheeks, dark eyes and dark hair. Dwarves tend to be dour and taciturn Dwarves have a magical resistance to magic and poison. They have infravision sight, which allows them to see in the dark.
Listed below are the dwarvensub-races.

Gray Dwarf

Also known as duergar, the gray dwarves of the Forgotten Realms live even deeper underground than their shield dwarf and gold dwarf cousins. The duergar share little in common with other dwarves and practice slavery in their monstrous subterranean cities. Often motivated by greed and a thirst for power, gray dwarves are known throughout the Realms as devious, efficient warriors. Duergar almost always have gray hair and skin. Duergar are able to conceal themselves very well and are immune to paralysis. They suffer an experience point penalty as well as fighting very poorly when outside during the daylight hours.

Gold Dwarf

In a time when the dwarven race is in sad decline, the gold dwarves of the Realms received a divine gift from Moradin, the Soul Forger. The father of the dwarven gods granted the Thunder Blessing upon his people, resulting in a slow growth of the gold dwarf population. Though its effects may not be felt for decades, gold dwarves are already starting to re-establish themselves in the Realms as shrewd traders and proud, if somewhat haughty, warriors. Gold dwarves gain bonuses again denizens of the Underdark but are less agile than normal dwarves.
