So if you want to start the random creation Bragi. Go ahead and roll 4 d20's and we will use them in order to determine what you are and we can go from there.

Stout Folk are usually built like tanks...

Ah, the beard-sporting, ale-quaffing, hammer-wielding folk of Runnminir
and Ullur! Stout folk, also called dwarves by the ill-mannered, can all trace
their family lines to one of these two ancestral homes, endlessly arguing
theirs as the best. Stout folk have a hearty sense of moral duty. They carry
an inheritance of mighty deeds from their ancestors, allying with all the
folk of The Holds to preserve the best things in life.

The only weak point in the stout folk code of honor is the sinister shadow
of greed. Players creating stout folk characters should remain ever-mindful
of dwarven greed and its effects
