"Stomp" as performed by Dwarves.
You mean like Dwarven Capoeira, with percussive accompaniment?So, this brings about an interesting idea.
In the modern human world, there's lots of people who see some elements of dance in the kata forms of many martial arts. But, for dwarves, who are primarily weapon users, why not think of their weapon practice forms as a sort of music?
Especially considering that their performance spaces are often going to be underground cavernous places with interesting natural or engineered acoustics, but that are going to be pretty expensive to light? Imagine a thousand dwarves in an dim acoustic auditorium, listening to the performance that's a weapon-clashing piece about some legendary battle?
Or, performing music while they work with their hammers and axes.
No joke, my 4Ed Dwarven Starlock/Psion was a capoerist.You mean like Dwarven Capoeira, with percussive accompaniment?
Playing off my prior posts, I’d imagine the weapons and armors used in dwarven musical martial practice would be tuned. Striking Gorvald’s left greave with your hammer would result in an A and C; Markus’ blow to the same with his axe might result in an A and F. Etc.So, this brings about an interesting idea.

My 4Ed Eladrin Feylock/Bard just whacked people with a swordNo joke, my 4Ed Dwarven Starlock/Psion was a capoerist.
