A question on the dwarves,

Most of their racial traits I agree with, but why are they shock resistant? They typically have high magic resistance,
but protection from lightning strikes is new to me.

I could remove the shock res - I put it in there for three reasons.

1. Dwarfs use rune lightning and this reduces friendly fire damage.
2. Dwarfs resist magical energy - lightning in dom3 is usually magical energy, unlike fire or poison.
3. Dwarfs are low to the ground, very solid, associated with earth. Scientifically they'd probably be good targets for lightning because they wear lots of armour, but still, they give a sense of being 'grounded' in the sense that they might dissapate such energy without getting fried too bad.

It would only be 25% res anyway, nothing major. But like I said, could easily get rid of it.

Hnmm. Yes. ME too.

Note on the Yheetees:

I don't know how experienced the posters in this thread are with the tops of mountains, but their are dense forests even on the lower areas of the Himalayas, not to mention the tops of the Rocky mountains, and Appalachians-both of which I've lived close by. Infact, I can see high, snowcapped mountains from my house, and yep, their are trees all the way up. Now, not every mountain is going to conform to this, ofcourse, but it really depends on whether you're talking just plain climbing/traversing ability, as in snow and rock, and the not-falling-off-of, or survival on a drastically sloped, wooded, forest.

I also live beside(?) some mountains (Olympics, in my case). Yhetees probably live below the tree lineand are therefore familiar with alpine woods. Whether that would be useful in eg. a tropical rainforest, or even a temperate one, is hard to say. Nonetheless, you are quite correct.
