Concept: Dwarven Warrior/Smith Mechanics Strength 18/24 Dexterity 16 Constitution 18 Intelligance 11 Charisma 7 Preception 15 Comliness 13 Social Class: Prince 6th and last born son of King Blueaxe Race: Dwarven Class: Warrior 1st Home Town: Rockholm Talents Swimming I (can tread water in leather or less) Riding I (can ride a pony) Blacksmithing 20% Digestive Immunity (can stomach spoiled foods, slight poison resist) Weapon Finesse: Quarter Stave Weathly (starts with 1000xstarting money Unique Item (Helm of Clan Damage +2 AC, Double dmg on 19, triple dmg on 20, Double effect of Poitions/Oils) Tactical Mind (slight combat edge) Strong Ancestory II (increase birth rank by 2 steps rolled 3x 100 each time + 2 steps made him a Prince) Smelting 15% Appraising 24% Military Rank VII (VIII Ranks Possible) Hinderances No Shield (never can use a shield) Staff Only Weapon (can only fight with a quarterstaff or unarmed) Cinnberil Addiction (-1con Confusion Effect durring Combat) Unusual Habit (Principles of 10 | Every 10 Days must Drill and Train. Every 10 Months Must report back to Rockholm to Father/Head of Dwarven Army) He wears Full Plate Mail + Magic Helm (noted above) + only weapon that he uses is a Quarter Staff. I'm looking for a few things. Names of the 8 ranks in a Dwarven Army. Even though he is rank 7, the rank is due to his birth not by any knowledge or abilities that he possesses. Reason for adventuring. Dwarven King (his father)sent him to the Keep Upon the Borderlands. The Game world is very, very young. Not many Dwarves have left Rockholm, but for some reason his father felt it was time for Klokk to leave Rockholm to find out.....(unknown reasons to klokk) Why would he want to leave the forge/smithy (his one and only joy in life.. aside from good ale) While gambling within the Keep he won enough coin that was offered the chance to gamble for a magic item. After some time he won "Gauntlets of Ogre Power" but lost a "+2 AC Ring" in the process. He has also met a Stout Halfling. The Stout introduced himself as cousin, in the sense that all Stout Halflings think of themselves as a cousin to Dwarfs ( a hero worship type thing as the dm described it) Klokk (my dwarf) took it in stride and now thinks of the Stouts, nay all halflings as cousins. He has no reason to know otherwise, never having met a halfling before as none but dwarfs reside within Rockholm. Any advice on how to roleplay this character would be greatly appriceated. I would love to know How a Dwarf would name the ranks in his military. Tenativly I named them.. Recruit-Trooper-Legionnaire-Sargent-Leutient- Captain- Commander-General But I dun really like that ta much.. sounds to human to my mind. Also if anyone has a dwarven Language link I would kindly appriceate that. Thank you in advance for you assistance.

I do Not know if the Dwarf mentioned above is under orders to keep his rank secret, so far he hasnt told a person in character about it.
