Ability Scores: +2 Strength or Wisdom, +2 Constitution
Size: Medium
Speed: 6 Squares
Vision: Normal
Languages: Common, Dwarven
Skill Bonus: +2 Endurance, +2 Streetwise
Tireless: As long as you slept at least 6 hours in the last 72 hours, you gain full benefit from an extended rest.
Incredible Toughness: Encounter (No Action): When you start your turn, you may end any ongoing damage or any one dazed, slowed, stunned, or weakened condition currently affecting you.
Extra Surge: You have an additional healing surge per day.
Dual Heritage: Choose human or dwarf upon creation. You can take feats that have your chosen race as a prerequisite (as well as those specifically for muls), as long as you meet any other requirements.
Incredible Toughness, appears on the D&D Encounters character sheet, and had been mentioned at DDXP that muls would have an edge against condition/status affects. Again shows up on the PA/PvP Mul Monk.
The Extra surge is assumed, from the DDXP character sheets, and is backed up by the D&D Encounters character sheet. Again shows up on the PA/PvP Mul Monk.
Dual Heritage I'm just assuming, they'll be similar to half-elves in, since they have alot of the toughness of dwarves it would save them from rewriting a lot of redundant feats. But there is actually nothing at all backing this up. Dwarven Heritage would also work, to just allow them to take the dwarven feats, but not human feats if the combination were proven to be too much.

EDIT: Added the description for Dual Heritage... Or whatever it will actually be called.

well half orcs can not take human feats... so you may be right you may be wrong... but don't forget Tireless...
Dual Heritage on them is by far the most questionable assumption though.
I got Tireless in there. :D
EDIT: Edited original post to clarify the iffy traits.
And dragon born are no longer the result of dragon-****.
Actually weren't they a ritual in which servants of Bahamut were 'reborn' as Dragonborn? I think your thinking of Half-Dragons.
Wait, so by that logic, Half-Elves get Dual Heritage because they're the product of elf-****?
Proof that Tanis Half-elven goes about everything ass backwards!
Heh, anyways, I seriously doubt Mul's will get dual heritage. I think that's meant to be a strictly Half-Elf feature. Though in practice it doesn't work out too well for the elven half.
Personally I think they could do without the human ones, especially if they could get the human +1 bonus to all saving throws, on top of whatever their bonus is against conditions and affects.
My character I'm building is a Mul Warden, so the saving throws would be ridiculous on him. Which is why I'm not even touching that feat until much later on (playing only every other week, I shouldn't be looking at feat options too often).
Improvised Weapon Training
If you notice his one handed Improvised weapons deal 1d8, while his two-handed improvised deal 1d10. And he's getting a +2 Proficiency bonus with them.
Normal is 1d4 for 1 handed, 1d8 for 2 handed, and no Proficiency bonus.
This could also be a gladiator bonus, or part of the "Arena" Fighter?
EDIT: At first I thought I was looking at the Mul, but this is actually on the Half-Giant not the Mul

You're thinking of 3e, man. Dragonborn are their own dudes now.

Yes, I know they are their own dudes now. I'm just pointing out that dragonborn were NEVER the result of Dragon-****.
Wait, now I'm imagining how different Dragonlance would be if Tanis Half-Elven were a Valor Bard...
Actually, Im more inclined to think he is a Skirmishing Warlord. Im also of the mind to reclassify Caramon as a Brawler Fighter with a few Invigorating powers rather than the Batterager Fighter I pegged him as before.
But.... thats a topic for another thread entirely lol
I hope I can help - as Mul's are my favorite race!
There's loads of fluff from the earlier Darksun Campaign (soon to hit 4e, I believe). In general, they are more like Dwarves, but I don't think they have any bodily hair, at all (so you'll need a Tupee & a Merkin).
wiki says:
Muls are the sterile, mixed-breed offspring of humans and dwarves in the Dark Sun campaign setting.[7] The term mul is derived from "mule" which are sterile hybrids, and as such the word is meant to be pronounced in the same manner (rhyming with "rule" rather than "dull").
A mul is a powerful crossbreed of a human and dwarf. As a race, muls are unique in that they cannot reproduce; they are infertile for life and so have no family groups or communities that are purely mul. The individual mul, most often born into slavery on command of its parents' owner, is a naturally great warrior, bred for combat.
A mul gets what are, perhaps, the best attributes from each of its parents. From his human parent, he receives height and agility. From his dwarven parent, the mul gets incredible strength and endurance. At maturity, a mul stands as much as 6½' tall, weighing 240-300 lbs. Each is fair skinned, though sometimes tending toward a coppery coloration. A mul's eyebrow ridges are pronounced, and the ears are usually pointed toward the back of the head; otherwise, facial features are basically human. Regardless of sex, most muls are naturally bald, but those who aren't usually shave their heads as a mark of racial unity. Since many muls are born into gladiatorial careers, tattoos of decoration and ownership are common.
The term "mul" has been unofficially adopted into other campaign settings for rare human-dwarf crossbreeds
Hope this helps. If you wants stats, I'd be happy to help out, either finding existing material or creating it!
I think the only piece that is really missing is what the "Some type of bonus to conditions/statuses" is. I keep searching, but I don't think they're likely to (officially) let anymore out at this time, possibly a developer will post some spoiler somewhere.
From the DnD Encounters character Yuka
Incredible Tougness (No Action / Personal / Encounter)
When you start your turn, you may end any ongoing damage or any one dazed, slowed, stunned, or weakened condition currently affecting you.
Only uncertain part is if they count as both dwarves and humans for feats, but I'm fairly sure they will.
I am not so sure "Incredible Toughness" isnt a Gladiator thing.
The mul character does not have the gladiator theme.
Also Disrupting Advance was the gladiator theme power on the D&D XP sheets and is repeated on the elf ranger who does have the gladiator theme
so i would that is surely not the case
As had been mentioned in the DDXP, muls would get an "Edge against condition/status stuff" which this obviously is.
