style="font-family: tahoma;">The Axe Lord

By
Darkgolem



The Axelord is a dwarf who
epitomizes the dwarvish love and skill with axes.  The axelord
loves nothing more than to wade into combat, cutting a swath among the
foes of him or her and their allies.  In battle they can use axes
quickly at range and with great effect.  Axelords gain a bonus to
critical hits, a total bonus to hit (before item bonuses) of +9 and +9
damage with axes, and this applies to ranged weapons too (though the
bonus to hit is two lower).



Aside from being able to deliver raw, primal damage in combat, Axe
lords are very able to survive in a hectic battlefield.  They not
only have a lot of hit points, they can gain great benefit from armor,
being able to maintain a high dex bonus in addition to the full
protection plate mail provides.  They also have a high resistance
to spells, making them hard to affect in other ways too.
