My first idea was to give them some bonus to fear/horror saves, but as time progressed I have formed this last edition of my Rloft dwarf based on Warhammer dwarves, who have a certain steampunk feeling with cannons, guns and the like:
(this form incorporates even the unchanged racial abilities)
* +2 Con, -2 Cha. (unchanged)
* Medium (unchanged)
* Base speed 20 feet (unchanged)
* Stonecunning (unchanged)
* Weapon familiarity: Blackpowder weapons
* Stability (unchanged)
* +2 racial bonus vs. poisons (unchanged)
* +2 vs. spells changed to enchantments and illusions only: Dwarves have strong will (some call them plain stubborn) and a powerful sense of their surroundings, thus being more able to disbelieve illusions.
* +1 to hit using blackpowder weapons: Dwarves have an innate ability to use manufactured weaponry from aeons of smithing tradition.
* +1 racial bonus and +1 dodge bonus to AC and -1 Armor Check penalty while in heavy armor: Dwarves have a build that utilises the full potential of a heavy armor's joints and flexibility
* +2 racial bonus to Craft and Appraise (unchanged)
As you have seen, I've completely removed darkvision since the majority of dwarves in Rloft are surface dwellers (at least in my book). Feel free to add it in this alternative, and SURELY feel free to comment on it.
