I must say, I'm not fond of all the Strength 5 and Burly combination profiles being thrown around lately, but I'd confess that's just a personal choice. (at first, I thought about Steadfast, but that would have been way too much for this kind of hero) The resistant to magic rule shows how difficult is to make Dain do something he doesn't want to. But he shows no fear at all, even against all odds. Unique rule: Dain is stubborn, he does not trust men and elves (expecially elves). Also, this is a way to make new Thorin a bit more useful. He wears "only" a regular dwarven heavy armour.ĭu Bekar: "where's thorin? We need him!" The iron hills dwarves are loyal to the king, whose mere presence gives them the will to keep fighting. As such, he hasn't found the best equipment the Dwarves ever made. Dain acts as a Dwarven Hulk.ĭain is not yet king under the mountain. Dain brute strenght allows him to kill orcs with helmet with a naked headbutt and can swing the hammer with ease, killing almost without effort. Bolg, Fight 7, is just a powerhouse after all. This is Dain at his peak, in the movie (not the book!).įight is not just about skill. However, such stubborness makes him even more formidable in battle: Dain is fearless and Resistant to magic. Gloin's "healing herbs" is ok, Gandalf's "Strenghten will" is not ). He will only take part in heroic actions called by a Dwarven Hero and will not benefit from spells and abilities from non-Dwarven heroes. Hard to reason With: Dain is stubborn and proud. Should he have some sort of re-roll to Wound against Azog, just like Thorin's "A Score to Settle"?Įquiment: Heavy Dwarf Armor, Two-handed Hammer This puts him at the same cost as a certain King of the High-Elves.Īlso there is a question of whether he should have a Special Rule to reflect the fact that he actually slayed Azog in the books. His point cost should be 140 (+5 for increase in Fight Value, +5 for increase in Strength, +5 for removal of a negative Special Rule). The Lord of the Iron Hills (same as The King under the Mountain). Lastly, one would need to remove his Special Rule Venerable, as this of course again reflect his old age.Īn improved profile, with the points mentioned above, would then be: Dain is in his prime during the Battle of Five Armies, and since he should not be Fight 7, then at least he should be Strength 5. Then there is the issue of his Strength which should be 5, as this should not be outmatched by the King's Champion. A Fight Value of 7 however would perhaps be too much for a Dwarf, so 6 would seem like the appropriate upgrade, despite the above mentioned fact. His Fight Value should be 6, but when compared to the other heroes in the Durin's Folk list, this is matched by both Durin and the King's Champion. The values that could/should be updated are: His updated profile should thus reflect this, in my opinion.Īt this time, I guess only Glorfindel would have been able to outmatch/match his battle prowess? He strongly believe that he should be profiled differently, and I will copy-paste my answer, in order to get some feedback from you guys as well:Īs mentioned, the current profile reflects Dain in his old age, as he over 250 years old.Ī great Dwarven fighter, but far from his prime, which would have been during the Battle of Five Armies! " A Gamer in the East" posted a new topic on the TLA forums, and asked if someone would use the old Dain profile, to resemble Dain during the Battle of the Five Armies, or if they would profile him differently.
