[3.5] Dwarf Variants?

[Novawurmson]

So I'm applying for an E6 campaign as a "Bruiser" Brawler (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215986), and I think I want to play a dwarf of some kind. What dwarf-y and dwarf-variant races are there out there?

I like the Earth Dwarf (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/elementalRacialVariants.htm).

There's the Duergar, Deep Dwarves (Core/XPH), Urdunnir, Ice Dwarves, Jungle Dwarves (RoF), as well as the aforementioned Earth Dwarves.

Thanks for the suggestions! I also found an old Crystal Keep pdf with a list of dwarf variants.

There's really nothing out there that helps either crunch or fluff with my character...even the Pathfinder alternate racial features aren't that great. Hmmm...

Looking at the class, what you're looking for is Str and Int/Wis, with Dex & Con tertiary and dumping Cha and whichever other mental doesn't matter to you. The PF Dwarf would get you a Wis boost, alongside the Con boost, so you have a nice defensive base to build off of.

If you want a very earthy race, Feral Garguns, Goliaths or Stonechildren could all work reasonably well.
