Two Character Ideas Walk In, One Dwarf Walks Out


Advice

Dark Archive

I have two ideas that I have been throwing around in my head for the past few days.

1. This one is a character based on the the martial style called pankration, he would be someone who no longer trusts his own weapons and thereby seeks to make himself into the better weapon that he could finally put his trust into.

2. The other character is a twohanded shield user. Basically, he is someone who during his training was always told that your shield is the most important thing you have as it protects you and your allies, and can be your weapon in such a case. He took this to heart and decided to make himself into a safe spot on the battlefield, his shield would be his allies salvation and his enemies end.

Both of these characters would be a dwarf for the sole reason of me wanting a dwarf character, but I am trying to figure out which will be The Dwarf. So I am looking for people's opinions on which to make and once that is decided then we can build him.

TLDR: Unarmed/Grapple based dwarf or Twohanded shield slam dwarf.


Tetori archetype stands out here, as might Monk of the Sacred Mountain. I haven't checked to see if both can be taken.

Snapping Turtle Style would work well too, though it overlaps Sacred Mountain somewhat.
