Last edition it became the staple rune for a thane, which earned him the nick; 'Thane of Pain':<br /><br />MRoSwiftness, RoCleaving, RoStone, Shield.<br /><br />ASF, +1S, 2+ save in combat. You could even add the RoFury for an extra attack.Kuffehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362276686961154685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726568977559996815.post-87435730106980935852011-02-16T00:15:30.512+00:002011-02-16T00:15:30.512+00:00Wow!

Still a tad expensive to never get those re-rolls but yeah, the fact that it'll cancel the re-rolls against you makes it better than nothing!RedCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167304682496448067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726568977559996815.post-47616851053202432392011-02-15T00:27:09.700+00:002011-02-15T00:27:09.700+00:00It is a good rule to remember, not that it is like...It is a good rule to remember, not that it is likely to apply to dwarfs that often. Damn those prancy elves...<br /><br />That said, taking the MRoSwiftness isn't a bad idea being as it will stop them (High Elves, or anyone else with ASF and higher I) from getting the re-roll against you.Kuffehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362276686961154685noreply@blogger.com
