I don't see any bonus under the racial attributes for Dwarfs in the PHB. Also, there is a minor inconsistency about whether giants like eating dwarfs PHB vs. MM
?

Look on page 34 of the 4th Printing, under "Enmity (Goblins/Orcs)" (which grants dwarves a +1 to hit and a -4 on Charisma checks vs these foes) and on page 35, under "Defensive Expertise (Giants/Ogres)" (which give them a +4 to AC vs. these creatures).

Thanks, still finding my way around the books. Again, I have to apologize for the stupid question, it's right there at the end of the section neatly summarized! I've been cramming for my game tonight.

No worries, there are no stupid questions! Well, the only stupid one is an unasked one, how about that?
Hope your game went well, sir!
