I've got a notion for a scouty fighter/slayer. Ultimately he will be a trapfindery/snipey/sneaky, throwy guy.
Angweld the Scout
Angweld is not the most fastidious fellow around. Given that he spends most of his time out away from the rest of his community, he maintains what hygiene is necessary.
He has black hair, wears stained leathers, but has a well maintained chain shirt over those.
He wears a brace of throwing axes, and carries a shield.
Black hair, average dwarfy height, and normal dwarfy weight round out his appearance.
He is taciturn, using exactly as many words as he needs in a given situation, but no more. Used to not talking to anyone on his scouting duties for an extended period, he is not in the least bit gregarious.
Angweld hearkens from a small settlement in the northern end of the Five Kings Mountains. Wanderlust manifested itself early on in his youth, and he apprenticed under a local hunter/trapper, and learned woodcraft.
Over time his wanderlust grew and he got to wandering further. Eventually leaving the community, and taking on occasional scout jobs for caravans. In due course he found himself in a Brevoy tavern at the end of one of his caravan runs.

KNOCK KNOCK

I'm considering putting together a white-haired witch/something. I want a dwarf who fights with a prehensile beard.
A while haired witch/ monk or brawler would be amusing, or possibly lore warden fighter. You build it up as a grappler, and it would be fairly mean.
I want to yell something derisive about all that hocus pocus nonsense... but a dwarf who fights with his beard is just about the manliest thing ever.
Mark.Twain007's dwarf here. Markus Lifender. Fighter(cad)/Unchained Rogue.
I will build out the profile and spend gold later, but here is the important info.
Born Markus Lefler, in the Brevoy capitol of New Stetven, Markus had some issues. Issue 1, he was born without a father, or at least, a father that wanted anything to do with him. His mother, Cynthia, worked as a barmaid at one of the smaller taverns in the city. She had a habit of accepting the lecherous offers of the drunken patrons late at night, who never seemed as interested in her the next day. Though was probably due to the fact that many of them were married, but that part isn't important.
What is important is that for Markus this meant, no one was around to protect him from his second problem, he looked weird. Now, this is a work where you can see dragon people, and monsters that look like tree stumps, he didn't look that weird. But for a dwarf, being taller, skinnier, and not very sturdy or well balanced mean we was made fun of a lot. Other dwarves thought it was funny to ask him how the weather was up there, and the other races thought it was funny they found a dwarf they could finally knock over.
Markus learned from this though. He learned when they knocked him down not to get back up, but to bring them down with him. He learned to run from a fight if he needed to, or run just long enough to have the upper hand. This served him well as he got older. His mother could not support them both, and he had few marketable job skills, so he took up thievery. He was doing rather well for a while, until he was too slow one day and ended up in prison.
His mother could not afford to pay for his release, so he earned an early release fighting in a local arena. There he learned many of his favorite tricks. If an enemy is hitting you too hard, take their weapon. If they are running around too fast, trip them, or blind them. If they try and get fancy on you, hit them with everything you've got until they don't get back up. He gained a reputation is the arena, and a new name, Markus Lifender.
Upon his eventual prison release however, he left the arena, for even with his success, it did not pay well. He had however gained some marketable skills in prison. Perhaps fighting skills and speed would be useful to a scouting party headed into the untamed River Kingdoms. It sounds like easy gold. What could be there other than bandits and wolves?

However they attack me, I will have a plan. Dazzling Display, combat maneuvers, and Power attack. Dirty trick and disarm will be my go to maneuvers. Some interesting feats let me use my arena experience to do some performance combat checks in normal combat, speeding up Dazzling display to a swift action. Later levels, Shattered defenses, and Deadly Stroke(eventually with spiked chain and a bow) and some feats like greater Feint and Dirty Trick Master will keep the bad guys in pain, to either kill them myself, or just weaken them for my allies. Until I get to that point though, Rogue sneak attack, combined with Power attack with the spiked chain, will give me solid damage. Rouge trap detection and fighter HP and DPS should make me a solid front line man.
Dotting...how do you feel about Summoner? Original or Unchained or either?
Thinking an original summoner with the synthesist archetype and barbarian or something else martial on the other side. Essentially a melee dude that literally turns into a monster.
Unfortunately synthesist doesn't really work with the unchained version of summoner.
Now to roll and see if I get stats that will fit the concept.
5+4+6 = 15
5 + 3 + 6 = 14
4 + 4 + 6 = 14
6 + 5 + 6 = 17
= 5 + 5 + 6 = 16
= 5 + 5 + 6 = 16
Nice...That seems doable.
Will wait for GM to weigh in on Synthesist summoner before I start working on build and fluff.
orite. I should probably roll stats.
so...

solid.
Well if you use unchained version of the summoner, you don't get to archetype it. It would be either Synthesist Summoner or Unchained Summoner.
But the idea sounds solid enough and interesting. Are we going to have a Dwackle & Dwyde scenario on our hands?
Possibly. I think Dweckle sounds better though. :P
The only other thing I would need to run by you is to see how synthesist interacts with gestalt.
Synthesist reads "The synthesist uses the eidolon’s base attack bonus,"...but if the other side of my gestalt has full BaB instead of the 3/4s that the eidolon has could I use that instead? Seems silly that I become less capable when I summon the beast form.
In terms of stats, especially in gestalt, you choose the better of the two classes. So if your martial class has a Full BAB, you would use that instead of the 3/4's that the form would give you. It would be silly if you became less capable.
GM- you only answered half my question... If I worship Kols (whose favored weapon is "hammer") can I use a longhammer as my favored weapon?
Cool beans. Will start working on a build then. I kind of like the idea of Dweckle and Dwyde...
Hey! I still love the concept of this game, but I ended up getting into a 10th level campaign, which is going to take a bit of effort to keep up with. Rather then risk failing for multiple games I'm gonna withdraw my interest for this one. Hope you guys have a blast playing this!
Nate lange: oh I'm sorry. And yes. A hammer is a hammer in my book! As they say; if it looks like a hammer, sounds like a hammer, smells like a hammer, then it's a hammer!
And congrats Marko! Thank you for you time with the application! Hope you have fun!
Not sure what I'll submit, maybe something that will eventually ride a pig, I mean boar.

Background is this:
City Dwarves left their mountain homelands centuries ago, drawn into human cities by opportunities for commerce.
Because of this they no longer have the hardiness and wisdom of stone running through their veins, and are generally less physically fit than their brethren that live in the mountains. Instead, they have brushed up on their diplomacy skills and are generally seen as the nicest of dwarves.
No longer sharing the mountains with goblins and orcs, these city dwarves are still slightly agoraphobic and find the idea of anything attacking them from the sky to be off putting. As such they spend most of their lives training against creatures taller than them, like giants, and aggressive predators of the air.
Man...Serious wall of text...sorry about that. Decided to spoiler it all to make it less annoying.
Shoulddddd be correct. Doublechecks. Triplechecks.... Shouuldddd be correct :P
As for what I would want to build up, I have a few ideas to choose from :)
1st is a dwarven crafter. He carries around a heavy Anvil with him to craft anything and everything on. In combat, I would want him to fight with the anvil as an improvised weapon rather then any actual weapon, although he would very much be capable of maintaining the parties weapons!
Would be something martial like a barbarian, not sure about the other side.
How much damage would an improvised anvil deal?
2nd idea was to make a dwarven Master Trapmaker. If you would allow me to use the Alchemical Trapper archetype
and then i could create a trapsmith.
3rd idea is to create an alchemist/Drunken Rager or Drunken Monk and build him up as a brewmaster. Lvl 2 infusion means he has created some truly outrageous drinks!
Although rage+mutagen is probably overkill, will have to see about that >_>
Edit: 4th
Actually, this might be a good chance to revive Rockjaw, my Stone obsessed armored hulk barbarian. Maybe gestalt him with sorcerer
but he wears stoneplate, a boulderhelm, stone shield and stone warhammers ^_^
Markus should be complete. I even bought a donkey

If you looked at just his body, you might guess Markus was a short human, not a dwarf. His legs were longer and skinnier than most dwarves, and he was much thinner than your average dwarf. Standing at 4' 10" he was a tall dwarf, but once you looked at his face, rounded nose and braided beard, there is no question he is a dwarf. His hair, a light brown, grows long not just from his beard, but from the sides and back of his head, flowing out from beneath the hat he is always wearing. He rarely bothers to cut his hair. What needs removed comes off during combat, and once, when he got careless in the arena, someone got an axe a but too close to his head. Leaving him with a large scar, and an oddly shaped bald spot. Some say if you look at it just right it looks like a dog, but that might only be after you have had several large ales.
What is important is that for Markus this meant, no one was around to protect him from his second problem, he looked weird. Now, this is a work where you can see dragon people, and monsters that look like tree stumps, he didn't look that weird. But for a dwarf, being taller, skinnier, and not very sturdy or well balanced mean we was made fun of a lot.

This is Nate lange's alias. There's a lot of updating it needs but I'm leaning towards an unchained monk/cleric as an advanced dwarf (standard dwarf with advanced stat array: + physical, +4 wis, -2 Cha). If I don't end up with those two classes I'll probably still be some kind of melee/divine caster... Although a gunslinger/inquisitor would make for a pretty awesome marshal...
so... about these racial adjustments. at what point are you no longer a dwarf? are we free to change pretty much anything (within the point limitation, of course) so long as we appear to be dwarves and call ourselves such? i ask because when it said alter i assumed you meant add things so now i'm curious what you meant by "but they must be dwarves!"
There are certain things that dwarves are. Slow. Tough. Can see in the dark. Genetics and magical influences can of course change things but those result in things like dwarf sorcerers. Some dwarves are dumb, tough and dour and some are beautiful and whimsical. But keep in mind these characters must be, at their core, dwarves. They aren't mutants and they aren't aasimar or tiefling.
There is more than one test involved in the character selection then the basic information we've asked from everyone. Be careful with what you choose to change in the dwarf template. This game is going to extremely skewed towards the dwarf culture so if your character deviates too far from that...well guess what might happen.
Since this is Kingmaker it is going to be very RP heavy. We're looking at certain characteristics in our players/characters and just how heavily you edit your dwarf is one of those things.

So, all that said, is what I have outlined as 'City dwarves' reasonable or did I take it a bridge to far?
Sorry but I've said all I'm going to say on the issue for now. If you think something is wrong with your character, change it. We don't even begin looking at character selection until the 27th.

*rim shot*
Sorry, couldn't help myself, it was right there!
fair enough.
Cam James: An improvised anvil as a weapon? Those things weigh a bit much, you would have to make a STR check every time you picked it up and attempted to use it, especially in a fight. Your more likely to get skewered then effectively using it as a weapon. So I'm going to say no on that idea (using an anvil as an improvised weapon).

No surprise, I guess - dwarves are so fighterish... or fighters are so dwarvish... they go together like bacon and (insert random food here).
Geokineticist would've been great for this. I had an idea for a Swashbuckler/Warpriest of Kols, but there's a lot of frontline/divine already and I'm not managing to come up with other ideas, so I'll withdraw and wish everyone luck. :)
I've been moving ahead building as an unchained monk/cleric [crusader] of Kols. There is a lot of melee though, and not a ton of ranged... So I might switch to gunslinger/inquisitor...

Description
History:
Tormak's clan were themselves unusual, a wandering band of mercenaries, rarely in one place for more than a year or two. Over the decades, they'd fought for and against every major leader in the River Kingdoms (and many minor ones as well), and had often ventured further afield, seeking employ in Taldor, Aldoran, Nirmathas, Mendev, and more besides. Young dwarves like Tormak were not taught to fight giants, as other clans were, but humans, because humans were the most common foe and employer (sometimes both at once) in Avistan. But by the time Tormak came of age, the elders had grown tired of wandering and taken a long-term post garrisoning the interests of a guild of dwarven merchants and miners in southern Brevoy. Decades came and went with no real combat. Tormak learned the use of the Brevic dueling sword, and how to use his natural nimbleness to strike enemies, and not just to avoid strikes. But he yearned for adventure, excitement, and knowledge. And so, just over a hundred years old, he left his clan to seek more interesting employment in Restov.

Bows are for elves and other foppish races. Dwarves put cold steel in their foes' skulls, like the very manly men they are. Just look at the beards. No one with a beard likes that needs to keep their enemies at range Let 'em come. (Says the finessing, dueling sword-wielding dwarf, lol)

Background:
Thorin was always curious, a rather rare trait for a dwarf. Even more so in his birth clan. He never cared as much as his kin for the forging of armor and blade. Like any respectable dwarf however he did harbor a small joy of mining, particularly when it was to uncover gemstones or flexible ores. A tinkerer at heart he created several new designs to aid in the mining and smithing processes, and while some were implemented most were rejected with the age old argument of. "If it ain't broke don't fix it". One day, Thorin stumbled across a strange black powder that could be ignited with fire. And once again, as most things in his life, his curiosity got the better of him. He tinkered and toiled with this new powder and eventually designed something he believed would make mining through rock and stone easier. After a few failed attempts with the explosive powder not creating the force needed to break through the stone he was told maybe another time. Embarrassed and annoyed he closed himself off in his work chambers cutting corners in risk assessment and testing, disregarding the warnings his elders gave him after complains of minor explosions going off near his workshop. About a week after the incident he produced another "mining charge", promising better results this time. On the plus side it worked, however, it worked too well. The charge released a force so powerful that it brought the very stone down atop the heads of those in the vicinity. several lives were lost that day, and over two weeks of mining progress was lost. In the end, Thorin was pardoned, with mild punishments by dwarven standards and the further pursuit of research into this black powder was banned until further notice. Thorin however, riddled with guilt, and unable to give up his long time project cast himself into self imposed exile.
He shaved his beard until a time he deemed himself worthy of one, and set out in search of knowledge on the black powder. The entire time he worked on his invention, a "musket" he called it. Eventually his journey would lead him to a temple of Aroden, with a inventor had complied much knowledge on the functions of black powder. It was hear that Thorin finally learned the final parts he needed to complete his work and upon placing the last part together he felt something he hadn't felt before, it was more than pride, he sensed some form a divinity. Torag gave Thorin his approval that day,For Torag was the deity of artifice, and what more wondrous and intricate a thing has a dwarf made than this "firearm". Curiosity, tempered with caution, innovation, tempered with reason. Thorin then would become a sort of law-man, combating chaos where he found it and instituting and order if not necessarily laws. For Craft and knowledge cannot grow without stability, order, and communion. Now, the perfect chance presents itself, Thorin sees in this chaotic lands a potential to create thriving community of knowledge, Innovation, Order, and Artifice. First, order must be brought, then laws made, and finally, the knowledge acquired.
Personality: mostly kind, less rough and boisterous than many of his kin Thorin is still a naturally curious dwarf, although the follies in his youth taught him much. Now he often reminds himself to temper his curiosity. While he enjoys a rowdy evening of drink every now and then, he usually prefers the quiet while he works on his intricate creations as he found his new musket required a rather extensive maintenance. He enjoys a regimented life, but allows himself freedoms for spur of the moment times when his curiosity or inspiration takes him. He learns for two reasons, firstly for his creations, so that he may continue to contribute and create for his gods. Secondly, his insatiable curiosity of things, or otherwise for the fun of it.
Thorin is a strange dwarf in that his curiosity rivals that of a gnome. However, he also values order and tradition due to his past. So he seeks to find a perfect balance between innovation and tradition, freedom and order, and curiousness and caution.
heres my new submission
Honestly, I don't think they really need ranged submissions that badly. The preselected players are a wizard/bard and alchemist/gunslinger, so if both the additional chosen players are melee, there'll be a 2/2 melee/ranged split.
this. i was going to remind everyone of this last night because i imagined they'd forgotten why they all went frontliner or divine caster originally, but i fell asleep mid post. :p
Oh, I went frontliner/divine because frontliner are so dwarvish... bacon... etc, you know.
And because I (and I mean I) have a beard and a big, round belly (and probably -2 Cha too).
oy' I went an' thought that the other two were listed in the submissions post. I think I've done had a wee bit to much Ale!
I am also very dwarfish in proportion and appetite IRL. And I'm really pleased with my monk/cleric- I was largely thinking about changing to ranged because I just had surgery and I'm high as a kite on pain meds. I'm glad I didn't change anything because 1) I like this guy, 2) the 2 chosen already make it unnecessary, and 3) I would have changed to extremely similar to Thorin (ironbreaker, not the more famous oakenshield).
