PeterGFin: Dwarf role options- a DnD perspective...

Dwarf role options- a DnD perspective...

New page

True- that no role really fits the Dwarf 'character'. (The Archaeologist very crudely befits a Dwarf Miner if you squint). In DnD the mainstream Dwarf is a 'Fighter' who can be of any alignment while 'Barbarian' is restricted to non-lawfuls.

'Caveman' is reminiscent of a flavour of DnD Dwarf character in which Constitution is maxed out, stunting other abilities. If these are wizards or druids then there is a decent chance that the [[club]] and [[sling]] will be in their starting gear, and the player will have to swear to the DM that they are backward and primitive to dodge the anti-magic fluff.

The other prime choice is the 'Cleric' and the nethack [[Priest]] would make an excellent Dwarf character (maybe with racial cloak and shield to discourage spellcasting).--[[User:PeterGFin|PeterGFin]] 00:56, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
