Dwarven Racial Trait Swap


Advice


I have a question. I noticed in the ARG that dwarves have a racial trait called Saltbeard, but this replaces Hatred, Stonecutting, & Defensive Training. Is this a worthy trade off in a pirate campaign?


It depends entirely on the types of monsters you expect to face. To be honest, all of those traits are highly situational, but you may face off against enough aquatic enemies in a pirate campaign for the trade to be worthwhile.

Now, if you're going to be facing off against a bunch of orc-pirate crews then I wouldn't make the trade =)

What you're losing is: +4 AC vs giants
+1 to hit vs. orcs and goblins
+2 Perception for some stone related stuff

What you're gaining is: +2 AC vs. aquatic creatures
+1 to hit vs. aquatic creatures
+2 to some sailing skills
modification to the greed ability

If you're going to be fighting more aquatic creatures than orcs and giants, and not going to be around stonework much, it looks like a decent trade.

It's totally worth it, and it's awesome.
