What is an Ironbreaker?
The resolute Ironbreakers, being durable melee-combat experts, most often
serve a role in their war parties commonly referred to as “the tank.” Among
the Dwarfs, it is the Ironbreakers who stand in harm’s way, holding the
ground between their allies and those who would try to do them harm. Most
Ironbreakers are well equipped for this dangerous role with the knowledge
to don and fight in heavy armor, an adept’s grasp of defensive stratagems
and their proper deployment, and the stamina to heft a stout shield. While
Ironbreakers are well versed in the use of axes and other offensive weapons,
it is their ability to selflessly withstand the brunt of the enemy assault so
their friends might accomplish their goals that makes Ironbreakers the
backbone of Dwarf warfare.

A lone Ironbreaker can tackle daring adventures without aid. By simply
exchanging their typical pairing of axe and shield for a two-handed greataxe,
Ironbreakers become far more effective at actually dispatching enemies.
That being said, you will still most likely find Ironbreakers at the vanguard
of a group of adventurers, accomplishing the tasks for which they were born:
leading a group of brave souls, and absorbing the brunt of the damage.
Being an Ironbreaker requires patience and skill. These stout myrmidons
perform best when grouped with other classes of adventurer, as their
defensive abilities, desire to protect allies, and natural leadership qualities
can make such a group far more effective. Ironbreakers will find exceptional
synergy with companions who are versed in the healing arts, and such a
pairing unleashes almost unstoppable interactions.
It takes a relatively long time for an Ironbreaker to hone his martial skills
to the pinnacle of their potential. Be assured that time will not be wasted, as
their bravery and companionship are valued by all who fight on the side of
Order.
