Funny, but I'm serious. We've poked and probed Boney over this extensively, and he is adamant in hammering home "dwarves doing axes and hammers >>> dwarves doing swords, even when they are great swords".
Yer a Dwarf Kornet!
By the way, I find it endearing that he chose to use Belegar as a messenger of his approval of our actions. Because ancestors forbid we start thinking to highly if ourselves or think he doesn't really disapprove if us.

but yes.What problem is that exactely? because I don't see one at all, just a want for shinies its own sake
I think our belt might be made of adamant.
Here's some stuff from Dwarfs 8e:
So basically, the reason why you don't have more than three runes or more than one master rune is because the sheer amount of magic power would put way too much strain on the inscribed object otherwise. This applies to armour runes too, and armour runes can only be inscribed on gromril armour.
However, I suspect that that's only for mithril, the most common and basic sort of gromril. According to Lexicanum, adamant is a more advanced form of gromril. It's so magically inert that someone wearing adamant armour is outright immune to magic attacks, yet adamant can still be enchanted. Between the fact that it's so utterly resistant to magic yet still capable of being enchanted, I think that the reason why we can have so many runes of such power on our belt is because the belt's made of adamant, which can take the strain.
I'll be real here, I love everything about this idea holy shit
Laihtero can't be enchanted at all, takes a literal lifetime to make, and is probably an alloy of gromril and Law God. Immune to magic and massively hurtful to Chaos though.
Confirmed! This will never leave my head.
Don't need. We don't need the cool hat we are wearing. But its a cool damn hat, and having some cool dwarves to keep the rats away, sounds to the dwarves they are to keep out skaven, but when the rumors reach humans, its that we are that loved by the dwarves, that they send us dwarven warriors to keep our home clean of pests. It's politics, and a good measure of paranoia, it tells the elector counts, and grandmasters of the various chapterhouses in the empire, that this person has influence, connections and friends. And having dwarven drinking companions is really damn cool.Don't need dwarf guards when its sitting on top of entire Adventurer's Boom Town Karag
No no. I mean that's basically already going to happen and is below our level of abstraction because we're going to be chilling on top of an entire quarter of badasses.
I am well aware, of her magical capability. But I am paranoid to think it might be deprived of her at some point, if only temporarily, and turning that into a strength is ideal to me. Sure you can take my magic from me temporarily. But when you walk into my prison cell with a sword, that sword is mine now. Ripping off a wizards ear, and pressing your thumbs into his eye socket, and he isn't going to chant a spell, he's going to scream. If we are deprived of blade & magic, being able to break arms and puncture hearts with a table leg is just good manners.
I think we'd be better off spending time working to not get put into a situation like that then we would planning for some extremely contrived scenario, or an enemy that disables and takes us prisoner without killing us for...reasons.
They were in, like, 1st edition, removed from canon, then brought back for 4th in a different context.
But that isn't a benefit to learning the Ax since those same actions put into greatsword instead would likely get as much martial and likely an increase of tabletop Weapon Skill since iirc that's linked with the mastery of weapon not just being decent at two. Like argue over how the ax let's us get a better Rune weapon but don't talk about training time as a plus since that time training the ax to our current level isn't actually increasing our killing ability especially since iirc Boney only applies martial bonuses when appropriate like how us suddenly being on a horse doesn't make us a better general so too will knowing how to use two different weapons when we can only use one at a time.It's likely to only take one or two and it will help build on our current fitness which actually provides a greater martial boost.
I believe it would be harder to raise greatsword skill, if indeed we can still raise it.
We were a spy-master, if we are to take up such a position in the future, we are likely to be captured at some point, for the information we have. We are a known grey-wizard, the logical consequences of such a capture, would be to disable our magic, if we are poisoned and wake up deprived of our magic, temporary or not, its logical to assume they would take our great-sword as well. Hence it is logical to train for such a likely scenario, instead of just giving up should such a scenario happen. Also Chaos, torturing and turning champions of the empire is rather common is it not? Now I Mathilde's enemy's are sure to be much more creative then me, and whilst I presented one situation where such skills would be handy, does not mean I my self cannot come up with more. Just because you have no interest in Mathilde developing such skills, doesn't mean you should use such a disregarding and poorly written excuse for your desire to focus on one area of combat. I put forward my opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree with it. But I would not be so bored to disregard others. There is value on focusing on battlefield proficient skills we have already developed. I will not contest this. But your other disregard for situations that you can't "imagine" happening is frankly hilarious.
