Hammer and Anvil
Fighter
There are many different types of
Fighters, from the expert archer to
the general that guides his troops by
example, from the noble knight to the
brutish brawler.
The Hammer of Moradin is a dwarven
tradition of fighters that focuses on
resilience, the use of hammers and
also fighting the sworn enemies of the
dwarves: orcs, goblins, drows and
giants.
Hammer of Moradin
Within the halls of Citadel Adbar in the icy North,
an elite order of devoted warriors stands ready to
defend the dwarven people against the onslaught of
fell giants, dark elves, and goblinoids. Called the
Hammers of Moradin, they serve as Citadel Adbar’s
rallying point against the incursion of dark creatures
that haunt the North. The regular army, known as
the Iron Guard, defends the city capably, but the
hammers actively strike out against the monsters
farther afield, bringing the righteous fury of the Soul
Forger to their enemies’ very doorsteps. The
Hammer of Moradin specializes in the use of
hammers of all sorts, but are expert in the use of any
bludgeoning weapon.

Ancestral Enemies
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you
can add your proficiency bonus to weapon
damage. This feature works only against goblins,
hobgoblins, bugbears, orcs and worgs at 3rd level,
but will apply against other creatures as well at
later levels.
Activating this feature requires a bonus action,
and it lasts for 1 minute; you can use it twice, then
you must finish a long rest to regain its uses.
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
You can hit harder than ever, you can take hard
hits, and Moradin guides your thrown hammers
back to your hands.
Starting at 7th level, any damage you would
suffer is reduced by 1 (before applying any
resistance). Moreover, once per turn when you hit
with a bludgeoning weapon you deal an extra 1d6
bludgeoning damage.
In addition, any light hammer you throw can be
recalled back to your hand with a bonus action, if it
is within 30ft.
Courage of the Dark Tunnels
Delving deep into the underdark to fight the drow
and their minions requires unflinching courage and
determination.
Starting at 10th level, you and all allies within 10ft
can’t be frightened while you are conscious.
In addition, your Ancestral Enemies feature now
works also against drows, spiders, quaggoths and
driders.
Herald of the Earthquake
A well placed strike with a hammer against the
ground, backed by your muscles and the will of
Moradin himself, can shake the earth and topple
your enemies.
Starting at 15th level, you can strike the ground
with a warhammer or a maul as an action, forcing
any creature in a 60ft cone to fall prone unless
they succeed at a Strength saving throw
(DC=8+Constitution+proficiency bonus). If the
weapon is a +1 or better magical weapon, add the
enhancement bonus to the DC.
Strength of the Mountains
Not even the mighty giants can stand against the
mighty blows of your hammers, and you are as
immovable as the mountains themselves.
Starting at 18th level, you score critical hits with
light hammers, warhammers and mauls with a
natural roll of 19 or 20.
Moreover, you can’t be pushed, fall prone or be
moved from your position unless you want to.
In addition, your Ancestral Enemies feature now
works also against creatures of the Giant type.
