[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 2698870, member: 9410"] Dwarves are trained in Simple & Martial weapons (generally, as their favored class is Fighter), so they can use whatever they want. The Dwarven Waraxe is a good choice, especially for Two-Weapon Fighters. In Tolkien, the Dwarves of Nargothrond used axes, as did Dwarves in general. In fact, their cutting of the forests got them into trouble with "The Shepherds of the Trees", the Ents. Thorin & Co. had been chased out of The Lonely Mountain, long ago, and had to stoop to COAL MINING to make a living! (Indeed, it is mentioned along the trail that they were so desperate that they felt it was better to die facing the dragon, trying to win back their home, than to continue mining coal!) They would probably have preferred better weapons, and armor, but couldn't afford them. So they relied upon stealth, and surprise. Very Klingon of them! :p "Then what's left, Mr. Warf?" "Treachery, and guile!" [/QUOTE]
