With appropriate roleplay of course.

Focus: "Become (in)famous" by getting at least 2/3s of the tavern board posts to involve you, without you posting a single one.

Guild: Merchant

"I have seen him show most of the attributes one expects of a noble: courtesy, kindness, and honor.  I would also say he is one of the most bloodthirsty bastards I have ever met."

Point: Allanak

Focus: Destroy Allanak

(probably already been tried)

Watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi (YouTube link)

It is the story of an 85 year old itamae who owns and works at a tiny sushi bar in an office buildings basement next to a subway station. It has 3 Michelin Stars because of his focus "To become a sushi master"

This guy is a dwarf, he is even bald. Watching this movie has made me understand how a dwarf focus should be played.

Point: Tuluk

Guild: merchant

Focus: make the perfect travel cake

This tastes like ordinary meat.
There is nothing left now.

Guild: Any to Start

Point: Allanak

Focus: Become a Templar! Although this is a focus that probably could never be achieved for a dwarf. My co-worker who use to play 3 years ago and just got back into the game, and also just recently introduced me to ARM, had a dwarf with this focus.

Even though that -is- never gonna happen.. I think RPing such a focus would be hilarious indeed.

Have to deal with the competition.

In seriousness, someone should probably submit a request about crazily overpriced items, and I'm lazy. The braies just seem to keep popping up on the GDB lately.
