 Some items are changed and several new items are added in order to further flesh out racial monsters alongside many of the other new monsters added:
-* For dwarves, [[iron shoes]] are now dwarvish boots, and many dwarves can also generate with a [[dwarvish bearded axe]], a type of [[axe]] with damage comparable to a [[long sword]] and the ability to disarm monsters and remove their weapons or shields, similar to [[bullwhip]]s. Dwarven armor can be iron, steel, mithril, silver, or even gold or platinum; dwarvish weapons can be iron, steel, mithril or gemstone.

Dwarven armor can be iron, steel, mithril, silver, or even gold or platinum; dwarvish weapons can be iron, steel, mithril or gemstone.
-* Elves can generate with [[elven long sword]]s, which has a base material of wood like other elven weapons rather than the [[iron]] of regular [[long sword]]s. The elven long sword is lighter and has damage closer to that of the [[katana]], but it is vulnerable to erosion from burning and rotting. Armor and weapons of elven make have a 60% to retain their base material (e.g. metal for elven chain mail, wood for elven daggers and short swords), and can otherwise be made of wood, copper, mithril, silver or gold. Mithril armor grants MC3 for elves compared with MC2 for other races, and iron sears elves and deals +1d8 bonus damage.

-* Orcs are given [[orcish scimitar]]s in places of standard [[scimitar]]s, and can also generate with [[orcish long sword]]s in lieu of normal long swords. They can also generate wearing orcish boots, since iron shoes are considered dwarvish boots. Armor and weapons of orcish make can be made of iron, bone and stone. Armor made of [[bone]] and [[stone]] grants MC3 when worn by orcs, and mithril sears elves and deals +1d8 bonus damage.
