Not optimal, but it worked fine enough, so fine that they became known collectively for an aphorism closely related to "Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee", and because he had fluffed his character to look and act like a western anthropomorphic death (Pickaxe instead of scythe, but the rest fit rather well) they got related to death as well, sometimes even mistaken for him ^^So I like it ^^If picks and pickaxes are so important to the race, perhaps create some sort of bond between your character and his pick? Afterall, there must be a reason besides sentimentalality that he believes the pick is superior, or the pick might be superior because he believes so?Example of flavor fitting, home-brewn, magic weapon:The TrueshattererDESCRIPTIONThe wielder of this +x Heavy Pick is treated as having the Improved Sunder feat against any equpiment made of steel or stone, and ignores the first 5 damage reduction or hardness when using this weapon to strike those materials. Additionally, twice each day as a free action, the wielder of the Trueshatterer can gain the effects of True strike (Like the spell). While under the effect of True strike, the Trueshatterer ignores up to 8 points of damage reduction or hardness when striking steel or stone.CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTSCraft Magic Arms and Armor, Improved Sunder, Power Attack, Shatter, True strike; Cost (Up to your DM and the enchantment bonus)*Edit*Alternative to the traits I suggested in my previous post, you could talk to your DM abouve "Backgrounds and Occupations" - A variant 3rd party rule of Pathfinder, essentially packages of variation to class skills, and some with bonus feats.you can find them at the d20pfsrd. I would suggest either: Gladiator, Guardian, or ServantThe Feat Uncanny Alertness might also be worthwhile <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />*Edit over*</blockquote>
