[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 6530801, member: 31506"] IIRC they have like 10 hit dice, so its essentially like a 10th level human fighter having plate mail. Brigmak Irontooth got his start fighting a few dire rats in the hobgoblin sewers. While celebrating in a tavern and eyeing the cans on the orc barmaid, an old bugbear wizard told him about a mine nearby rumored to have a vile gnome infestation. The burly mage offered a bounty as well - If Brigmak brought him 10 gnome noses he'd get 100 crud pieces and Dwarfsquisher, a magical maul. So Brigmak gathered together a party - Pik'n Flik the goblin rogue, Skeeps the kobold sorcerer, Clerorc the orcish Eye of Gruumsh and Turtlehead the lizardman druid. They young adventuring party ventured forth into the mines, overcoming the gnomes vicious traps, irritating illusions, badger guardians and pointy hats until they reached the gnomish chieftan and his halfling harem. It was a mighty battle against the monsters, but eventually the heroes prevailed. Sadly Pik'n Flik was slain in the final battle by the gnome chieftan's weird 1st edition polearm - a spagglespork I think... d5+2 vs small or medium, 1d4+1d7 vs large creatures. The triumphant party returned, and recruited a new goblin rogue. He was originally all "My name is Bartrox" but the party liked Pik'n Flik better so beat mercilessly until he changed his name. Everyone laughed and laughed, and lit a farm on fire to celebrate! They had many adventures through the years, including quelling a slave rebellion in the mines and stopping some insane cultists from summoning an angel. Also at some point he bought some platemail.
