Was just thinking about how much I am going to miss Zalanthan Dwaves after this incarnation of the game ends.
I've talked to a lot of people who have said they've never played a dwarf and don't think they could deal with the whole focus thing.
My hopes are that every player will try them at least once before they are gone for good, and one of the hardest parts of playing a dwarf IS having a good focus that is neither too limiting nor too easy, so hopefully you will find one here that might suit your fancy.

Goal : 101 Dwarven Foci
Rules: Each post must contain ONE focus, no more, no less.
             (Even if you leave comments on another, you still have to leave one of your own.)

And there was some dwarf smoking spice, and I thought that was so scandalous because I'd only been playing in 'nak.

Dwarves won't be a playable race in Armageddon Reborn.  We, as players, have no idea when the first game will end and the second begin.  Could be three months, could be thirty years.

Also.. you forgot to leave a focus. :D

#23) Open the first Half-Giant only shop and corner the market.

Epicurean dwarves:


To discover all the seasonings of the world.

To find the one drink that is the perfect accompaniment for roasted scrab head.

To gather a collection of every cooking utensil possible to get in the known.

Sometimes, posts like this are not the best. Kind of depressing when other people also suggest the same cool idea you thought of,
and make you worry about whether someone does your idea for your future dwarf character first. Especially if its something you have
been thinking of for a long time, and dreaming about playing in the future.  :(

There is nothing new under the sun.

I still have a pretty rocking dwarf focus I plan on completing if the game continues to run for the forseeable future. Threads like this are great, because it gives me an idea on how to tweak a focus already done before.

Dwarven Focus ALPHA PRIME:

Become an honorary member of a Desert Elf Tribe.
Quote from: IAmJacksOpinion on May 20, 2013, 11:16:52 PM
Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

#33) Spend as much (total) sid as possible over lifetime.
Evolution ends when stupidity is no longer fatal."

There were three unnumbered, so:

#37 Assassinate Highlord Quinton Tektolnes

#38 Learn to ride Carru
You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany.  Except for maybe Allanak."

Learn to bake quirri-biscuits

I've come to the conclusion that relaxing is not the lack of doing anything, but doing something that comes easily to you.

A quirri can have kittens in the grill, but that don't make 'em travel cakes.

No one on staff is just waiting for the opportunity to get revenge on someone who killed one of their characters years ago.

Except me. I remember every death. And I am coming for you bastards.

Focus: Be the first dwarf ever to have no focus.
Child, child, if you come to this doomed house, what is to save you?

A voice whispers, "Read the tales upon the walls."

One I always liked was a dwarf with the focus of becoming a banshee. The only problem being that he would have to die first. Now, this would accomplish his focus at the moment of death, but then he couldn't be a banshee because his focus was accomplished. So what happens then?
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


BE a silt-horror  ( okay... this one is obviously a joke... but still  :-\ )

Find a decently sized patch of land -outside- of the Known World and build a city.

His Foci would then change to become a real dwarf. It's a horriable cycle.

Foci: Has awsome Mudsexx with two templars, from both cities. AT THE SAME TIME!
