Toon Tuesday: Brightbottle the Dwarf Paladin (Pathfinder)

Yep, I like my lady Dwarves with facial hair (and I don’t mean partial mutton chops with the rest fair and bare, either!) We could argue all day long, but honestly, I’ve always allied myself with the notion that most dwarves resemble each other, the main difference being skin/hair colours between clans and reproductive organs. I don’t feel that gender is any real distinction amongst them and like to believe most couldn’t easily tell the difference anyway.) Also, short of only a few inches difference, Pathfinder describes both genders as “taking pride in the length of their hair” with no specifications on female facial hair presence. Also, I love the “Home, Family, Motherhood” type Gods. They need more love and representation, so I tried to explore a bit of that here.

Game: Pathfinder by Paizo.
Books Needed: Pathfinder Role Playing Game Core Book First Edition, and D20PFSRD (Dwarf and Paladin pages primarily.)
Recommended Setting: Mountainous or cold climate, Dwarven relations, child oriented, or high glory campaigns. Suited to any level one adventuring party, will not ally with evil alignments.
