Heroes of the Anvil Vale

Barbarians

• Dwarven Battleragers: Among staunchly ordered and lawful dwarven folk, battle is one of the acceptable outlets for aggression and furious chaos. The tradition of battle-ragers is less known in this era than it was previously, but there are always those few dwarves marked with the traditional tattoos of the Furious Ones. (Preferred Paths: Ancestral Guardian, Battlerager, Zealot)
• The Frostwood Furies: Some of the tribes of elves and shifters within the Frostwood maintain a tradition of furies – warriors who channel their overt fury into strength, all at the defense of their homes. (Preferred Paths: Ancestral Guardian, Berserker, Totem Warrior)
• Giantish Fury: Outside of tribal society, it is not uncommon to find those with the gifts of rage among the firbolg and goliath folk as well. (Preferred Paths: Ancestral Guardian, Berserker, Storm Herald, Zealot)
• Tribal Folk: Though the only tribal folk within any reasonable distances of the Vale are the wood elf clans of the Frostwood, and the oft-nomadic goblinoid tribes that dwell in further reaches of the Starfrost Mountains, both peoples have more than their fair share of those with the gifts of rage. (Preferred Paths: Ancestral Guardian, Battle-Scarred, Berserker, Storm-Herald, Totem Warrior)
• The Touch of the Berserker: Within the Vale, even among the most peaceful and ordered communities, there are those who have been touched by the Berserker, the terrifying creature of primal fury. Some have survived one of its slaughters, and come away with a rage of their own. Others have simply seen it at a distance, or have dreams of it occasionally. (Preferred Paths: Battle-Scarred, Berserker)

Clerics

• Clerics: Dwarves do not have gods. Instead, each of the Great Clans has a highly revered founder ancestor, who occasionally choose champions to work their will among dwarrowkind. Each of the Twelve has such a clan founder, and they can grant any Domain. Domains are less about who grants the power and more about what they want their chosen to focus on in dwarven society.

Wizards

• Wizards: New Tradition: Runethane, a tradition of dwarven rune-focused wizards.
  • The eight standard school-based traditions are studied, but are a hold-over from human traditions of magic.
