In this post, we continue to flesh out the slightly samey-trending jobs of DCCRPG. Or just use this for whatever Dweorg characters you make in other games.
I tried to envision a society that is often underground and deals with fantastic flora and fauna. No doubt they kill and eat many underworlders too. Also, my thing about dweorgas being made out of treasure is seeded in here.
