'''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]].

==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 4th level.

==History==
*Hill dwarves were removed in [[0.3]], due to their similarity to [[mountain dwarves]]. Their aptitudes were nearly identical, never more than ±20 in the old aptitude system (equivalent to ±1 aptitude today). MD were slightly better at magic, and HD slightly better at melee. When HD were removed, some of MD's aptitudes (notably Axes and M&F) were changed to compensate.
:One notable difference between the species was that, back when "non-recommended" race/class combos were actually forbidden, HD could be [[berserker]]s while MD could not.
