Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herobizkit" data-source="post: 4189296" data-attributes="member: 36150">Clan StonebreakerThe Dwarves of the Stonebreaker Clan are very animal-like, sometimes little more than beasts on the battlefield.  They do more than LOVE combat; they worship it.  These Dwarves do not fight with axe and shield - no, they fight with their hands and fists.  And heads.  And teeth.  And whatever else they choose to find along the way.  By duplicating the tactics of the most powerful animals, they can become animals themselves.(If you're a strict DM, this concept of Monks probably won't work.  I envision this as a Barbarian/Monk combo, but alignments forbid this from ever happening.  Plain ol' Fighters, OTOH, would use their specialty feats for Improved Unarmed Combat, Improved Grapple/Trip, and the other various hand-to-hand manoeuvres.)Their 'wise persons'/storytellers are often Barbarian/Bards or Savage Bards who participate in battle just as or even more ferverently than their warrior bretheren.  It is a sight to behold when a clan of Stonebreakers barrel down upon their foes, howling and snarling like a great pack of wolves, hungry bears, or angry lions.  When the pack has finished with their hunt, the bodies of the dead are dragged back home where they are offered to their Warrior Beast God by burning them in a ceremonial pyre.  A great feast is held afterwards, with the most powerful opponent (judged by the Wise One) is cooked and consumed by the Dwarves to gain their opponent's strength - a sign of great respect for the fallen, at least, in the Dwarves' eyes.</blockquote>
