MA-style: Dwarven Shield Fighter

Possibly; but I'm pretty sure it doesn't state that anywhere. No penalty for defense, certainly. For shield bashes, and swings (edged shield). I'd assess the penalty.

Kromm has spoken.

Well, I'll be....thanks for the link. That'll save me a point (woopee).

Sorry for the misinformation, sikker, but my other suggestions stand (I think).

Thanks for the suggestions.
I agree about name. The reason I chose "shield fighter" was that other Dwarfs were supposed to use hammers or picks if they preferred. But pick-users would not be going for the neck as much as the vitals or eyes ... so I guess I might as well rename it to Axe and Shield fighter.

About the perk. I actually prefer rushing only 1 hex (adjacent). I have so many bonuses to my shield rush, that I would be ahead in probabilities if I shield rushed a 100-HP giant. Me: 1d-3(base) + 2(WM shield) + 2(shoves&tackles) + 3(shield DB) = 1d+4. 100 HP-giant: 1d. - The formula is ((HP * velocity)/100) with a minimum of 1d-3.
If I were silly enough to attack same giant with speed 6, the giant would do 6d on me, and I would (with 15 HP) do 1d+6

About Icelanders styles: Thank you very much. Had I just seen this before I would not have had to post :o) (search function ftw)
