Coinage: Coins have weight! Many games do not worry about this, but considering this campaign is an exploration campaign, your loot matters! As a result, 50 coins of any combination = 1 pound.

Ability Score Traits: Players may choose to sacrifice one of their two (or three, if they take a drawback) traits in order to change the standard Duergar attribute bonuses of +2 Con, +2 Wis, -4 Cha. These traits are using a modified version of the Dwarven Explorer Ability Score Traits found in Throne of Night, with an added -2 Charisma penalty tacked onto all of them due to the Duergar's legendary stubbornness, even when compared to normal dwarves. As a result, some of these might seem to have less bonuses than others; This represents a +2 charisma bonus negating the -2 charisma penalty.
