For years you labored under a dwarf master of the craft, enduring long hours and dismissive, sour-tempered treatment in order to gain the fine skills you possess today.\r\n[in]You are most likely a dwarf, but not necessarily\u2014particularly in the North, the shield dwarf clans learned long ago that only proud fools who are more concerned for their egos than their craft turn away promising apprentices, even those of other races. If you aren\u2019t a dwarf, however, you have taken a solemn oath never to take on an apprentice in the craft: it is not for non-dwarves to pass on the skills of Moradin\u2019s favored children. You would have no difficulty, however, finding a dwarf master who was willing to receive potential apprentices who came with your recommendation.[\/in][\/quote]\r\n[h1]Features[\/h1]\r\n[li][b]Respect of the Stout Folk[\/b][\/li]\r\nAs well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.\r\n[h1]Suggested Motivations[\/h1]\r\nUse the tables for the guild artisan background below as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying the entries when appropriate to suit your identity as a clan crafter. (For instance, consider the words \u201cguild\u201d and \u201cclan\u201d to be interchangeable.)\r\n[in]Your bond is almost certainly related to the master or the clan that taught you, or else to the work that you produce. Your ideal might have to do with maintaining the high quality of your work or preserving the dwarven traditions of craftsmanship.[\/in]\r\n[spoiler][table][tr][th]d8[\/th][th]Personality Trait[\/th][\/tr][tr][td]1[\/td][td]I'm full of witty aphorisms and have a proverb for every occasion.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]2[\/td][td]I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing right.
