[QUOTE="Aereas, post: 2930155, member: 31008"] As stated before I normaly play a ftr or barbarian when I play a dwarf. This time I am playing a priest (2e specialty cleric of Clangeddin to be more precise). Because of his highly religious nature a simple battle cry doesn't seem to fit as well as it would for just a follower. I wanted a song that he could sing in battle to offer praise to Clangeddin and signify some of the dieties beleifs that no matter how the battle goes you will still be in Clangeddins grace as long as you follow his teachings. This is the paragraph from Faiths and Pantheons that led to the longer song idea (and more specificaly the red part is where my attention focused on): Known as alaghor ("those who demonstrate valor in battle"), clerics of Clangeddin Silverbeard pray for spells in the morning. The anniversaries of past battles hold special significance for the alaghor. On such occasions, the clerics break old weapons anointed with their own blood and recount tales of fallen heroes that they might never be forgotten. [color=red]More disturbing (at least from the perspective of their enemies) are the frenzied war chants in which the alaghor engage during the heat of battle. Known as ehontar ("songs giving fear to the hearts of the craven"), these low, droning songs bolster the spirits of nearby dwarves, assuring them that Clangeddin immediately enlists in his celestial army those who fall furthering the destiny of the dwarves or protecting their holdings[/color]. Alaghor know they will die in combat; the rest is merely a matter of timing. Clerics of Clangeddin frequently multiclass as divine champions, dwarven defenders, or fighters. Some few gain levels in barbarian, or were barbarians prior to heeding the call of the Father of Battle. [/QUOTE]
