*grins*<br/><br/>About dwarves, I remember what you're talking about with dwarves.  In my experience, it was mostly RP--and lots of metal armor.  In 2nd edition D&D, in The Complete Book of Dwarves, they had different prices and scores for some non weapon proficiency.  It was harder for them to learn swimming (more expensive to learn the NWP) and their score with it was not as good as other races, but they<em>could</em>swim.
