[QUOTE="CTD, post: 458839, member: 7402"] In my RTOEE game I let one of the players have the Dwarven Axe as a martial proficiency. He wanted it for the theme of his dwarven fighter, and I didn't see any real big todoo about letting him have it. Plus I had just smeared his sorceror in one shot. :) It's been about 10 months of gaming since then and the dwarf fighter has done well through the levels. He's been accompanied by a dual wielding human fighter the entire time and both are equally nasty. The dwarf does more damage per blow, but the human gets an extra blow in there every round.
