Like other dwarves duergar get:
+2 CON, +2 Search, +2 Fortitude saves against poison, +2 saves against spells, +4 AC vs Giants, darkvision

the disadvantages of duergar are bigger:
Shield dwarf: -2 CHA
Gold dwarf: -2DEX
Duergar: -4CHA, -2 hit, damage and saving throws in daylight.

advantages which duergar DON'T get:
Shield dwarf: +1 to hit vs orcs goblins and bugbears
Gold dwarf: +1 to hit vs drow mind flayers and driders

advantages which only duergar get:
cast Invisibility 1/day
immunity to paralysis
+4 to move silently

Ok, now why do duergar get the 2ECL?? besides their bigger disadvantages their advantages are not so great... invisibility 1/day? but potions of invis are not rare and some items can cast invis too, not to mention the hide skill.... immunity to paralysis? high fortitude saving throw can guarantee that too.... +4 to move silently?... ok thats good, but not really all that important....

so anyone can tell me why duergar get 2ECL? am I missing something here....?
