Re: MA-style: Dwarven Shield Fighter
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)
