I am fantastic at worldbuilding.
I just don't need to try and hide any type of stereotype behind a wall of inane bullshit.

It's pathetic man.

They aren't?

There's a great deal more to dwarves that just being bearded miners skilled in craft. They were also said to be akin to maggots or lice to the giants, and given reason by the gods. What if there was a kind of dwarf for every kind of giant, closely tied to one another.

Playing a female dwarf bard in a campaign right now. She's young, extroverted, likes to dance, and joined a troupe. She wants to be a world-famous entertainer, and is adventuring to gain the funds to build her own theater.

If you're going to change everything about them then why even call them dwarves at that point?
These types of dwarves stand out because they contrast with the norms of the setting. FR still has regular dwarves but Chult has savage dwarves. They may as well be a subrace like Duergar
