Roryn Rockbottom

Roryn Rockbottom hails from the mightiest of all dwarf realms, the Great Rift, which is the ancestral homeland of the Gold Dwarves.

Roryn will offer his prayers to Moradin each morning. Like his patron diety, Roryn is gruff and uncompromising and hard as stone when it comes to protecting his fellow dwarves. He is proud and independent, and as a result will rebuff any overtures of aid if it smacks of charity or pity.

He is realistic enough to know that not all threats come from outside, and that sometimes you have to be wary of threats from within. He has sometimes become jaded and naturally suspicious of other's motives, since as a Paladin in the order of the Hammer of Moradin, he can see into other's hearts and souls and finds that not everyone meets his standards of justice and honour.

("Evil is Everywhere!")

Honour demands that he face and defeat his foes in a fair fight, so he will not automatically lash out at a typical dwarven enemy (drow, orc, etc…), but will instead allow them the opportunity to prove and, possibly redeem themselves to be something better then most would give them credit for. Most fail, and suffer the consequences.

Wants to acquire the following items:

Soil of Stone: Power component (65 gp)
- Taken from beneath the palaces of the dao (genie's of Elemental Earth), 
  this powdered stone retains traces of both that plane and its masters. 
  If this so-called soil of stone is used as a component in the casting 
  of any Earth domain spell or a spell that has the earth descriptor, it 
  doubles the duration.

Moradin (G) LG Craft, Dwarf, Earth, Good, Law, Protection “Soulhammer” (warhammer)

"Hammers of Moradin" The Soul Forger has few Paladins, but the dwarves who choose 
this path often act as champions of the entire dwarven pantheon, blending the 
virtues of all the dwarven gods.
- They may multiclass freely as clerics, fighters, divine champions,
  dwarven defenders and runecasters


PHB2 (page 53): Alternative class feature 
Paladin - Charging Smite 
- Level = 5th
- Replaces = if you select this class feature, you do not gain a special mount
- Benefit = beginning at 5th level, if you smite evil on a charge attack, you 
  deal an extra 2 points of damage per paladin level to any evil creature you 
  hit (in addition to the normal bonus damage dealt by a smite). If the charge 
  attack misses, the smite ability is not considered used. 
  This is a supernatural ability.


Cleric Domains: Moradin (favoured weapon = "Soulhammer" warhammer)
- craft: creation spells = +1 caster level, skill focus feat-craft, DS=animate rope
- dwarf: great fortitude, DS=magic weapon
- earth: turn/destroy air, command/rebuke earth, DS=magic stone
- good: good spells = +1 caster level, DS=protection from evil
