There have been a few others, but they're fairly rare...

I have played one (See below). But the fact is that they're the worst of
the lot, especially compared to Trolls and Elves as far as stats go. Plus,
Dwarves just never seem that popular...

Well, I played a Dwarven Bodyguard named Shortround Oddjob (Ok, chessy bad
name... But it was a night for cheesy bad names). He was a former Secret
Service agent that had been assigned to Dunklezahn, and quit in shame after
Dunky died. He later got recruited by the Draco foundation for reasons he
never found out to basically do something similar to what Assets Inc does
now (according to Crossroads, Kenson's book, which is pretty good,
actually), namely hunt down items from the will and fulfill them. He had
lots of Delta Grade headware (phone, eye and ear mods, recorder, etc) and
some minor body/speed boosts.
