PrC for a half-mad venerable dwarf

[Kaww]

So I'm planing on making a venerable dwarven general. He is on this position for several centuries and thus has become a bit eccentric.

Any suggestions for PrCs? Base class is fighter and he is certain he is a well versed cleric of several major deities (has a collection of holy symbols, relics etc.), which he of course is not. He is a competent leader, but a bit of a loony...

Help?

Crazy Dwarf? Drunken Master?

Alternatively, Deepwarden is a great PrC for dwarves with decent Con scores (all of them). It doesn't represent much in the way of an unhinged character, but not all mechanics have to be respresented fluff-wise.

If you really want to go off the deep end, splash in some caster levels (or take a late entry partial caster PrC like Suel Arcanamach) and look at Fleshwarper (Lords of Madness) or Alienist (CArcane). Both are treading water at the far end of the loonie pool.

Actually Suel Arcanamach might fit well. They are the kind that would look into ancient secrets brimming with the kind of power that will naturally unnerve even the toughest, stoutest dwarf.

see if you can get your DM to approve the Madness domain, it's... entertaining. Then somthing like that warpriest or deepstone sentinel may be with some ruby knight vindicator.

I am the DM, this is an NPC...

Dwarven Defender? But if your going into cleric, Warpriest?

I know you asked for a PRC but a few luck feats from Complete Scoundrel might be cool. He could just mistake his amazing luck for divine favor.

Well in that case make him a crusader with Deepstone Sentinel and give him the madness domain ability.

You could give him the madness ability derro have. Amusingly enough, madness makes you immune to confusion and similar effects.

Let me see if I got this straight. Loopy dwarf, competent general, thinks he's a cleric of many deities and a powerful fighter? Hummm
You could go with Earth Dreamer. Gets a bunch of eccentric abilities to begin with... many are supernatural and he could show off to PCs saying the gods gave him such powers and do a happy dance or something.
Marshal is always an interesting class to hop in for any kind of tactical leader.

Maybe Dwarven Defender? He could be half-way buried in the ground due to an ogre bull-rushing him and still do his happy dance while he laughs of the monster's effort.

Loremaster is something worth considering. Maybe he went so deep after some kind of forbidden knowledge that he went loopy (or fakes he's loopy to save his own hide, like the old crazy dude from Azure City).

There are possibilities...
