An idea...

[Scarey Nerd]

OK, picture it.

300 Dwarven Defenders... With an awesomely bearded leader...

If and when I next DM (Hey, that rhymed...) I don't think I can resist...

"THESE, ARE, DWARVES!"

Well, they are Dwarven Defenders. We could just, like, walk around them. Or fly over them. Or burrow under them.

[Boci]

Meh, doesn't really work in D&d that well with so much magic, and I never liked the dwarven defender much. Double line of dwarven crusaders using thicket of blades, willing deformity (fluffed as being trained to lunge), spicked chains (fluffed as spears) and alternating between AoO and standstill? Very deadly in a low magic setting.

Psh.

Those aren't dwarven defenders. That's a space station an army of deepstone sentinels!

Thicket of blades. HAH!

That's what they did. It worked too.

A request: Can you make write a thread title that actually tells the reader what the thread is about?

That's kind of why they exist...

[Morph Bark]

That's what they did. It worked too.

Only because a traitor pointed it out for them though.

What is it about actually?

[Scarey Nerd]

What is it about actually?

Absolutely nothing, merely my suggestion of a scenario that could present RP and combat opporunities galore should such an event arise.

[Rothen]

"THESE, ARE, DWARVES!"

More like 'This is Moria!'.

Actually, I doubt that making funny quotes is the right way to meaningful RP... :smallconfused:

And dwarven defenders hardly equal "combat opportunities." They take 3.5's "stand still and full attack" approach to close combat to a ridiculous extreme.

But their ability to stand behind a tower shield with a dwarven urgrosh and use the spear end against a charging enemy in a choke point is, I think, fitting.

Okay so it's 299 Dwarves and one Elf. :smallcool:

I'm afraid I don't understand this kind of madness.

Madness? No, Madness is ten miles to the south. You're currently at Sparta. To get to Madness, you have to go back a few hundred meters, then take the left on the crossroads there.

Glad I could be of help.

Good thing he wasn't asking the king. The last guy who asked for madness got kicked into a well.
