Title: Dwarven Undead Hunter equipment
Post by: GiantToenail on June 29, 2023, 03:12:27 AM
Dwarves are neat, Dawnguard are neat, Buffy is neat, What would a dwarf use to cleanse this land of cruel and bloodthirsty fiends from beyond the grave? Sprigs of Lycanbane? Fae enchanted wooden stakes? Handheld cremation cannon? Salt coated cold iron thundergun balls? Smoke grenades containing silver pieces ground to dust?

Any setting, all clichés.

Never underestimate the utility of the common Dwarven war-hammer  ;)

Hmmm.

Well, let's start simple. Warhammers are good for pulverizing animated bones, and axes will remove a zombie's arm as efficiently as a troll's.

Dwarven crossbows can be tailored to launch specialty payloads, such as holy substances or alchemical fire. Speaking of the latter, it wouldn't surprise me if dwarven sages and alchemists have all manner of nasty surprises cooked up for undead foes, ranging from something like tanglefoot bag launchers to swarms of modified carrion grubs that have a taste for undead flesh.

Silver laced nets to capture vampires.

Make a huge donation to the nearest temple and employ an army of clerics to end the threat. Money is a fine weapon.
