Dwarven species size comparison
I just noticed that Shield dwarves are significantly bigger than Gold dwarves and Duergars. Is this some kind of bug?

No, that's recent change to make it lore correct.

Assuming yes, as it affected PC elves retroactively as well. (unfortunately.)

Elves should be human-sized, right? Not larger, unless someone is working off a different lore book.
The dwarf change (haven't been on a dwarf yet) sounds good.

From left to right: an arctic dwarf, a gold dwarf, a shield dwarf, a duergar, an urdunnir, and a wild dwarf. Note that duergar are not true dwarves.
