Battleragers are dwarf followers of the gods of war and take the Path of the Battlerager. They specialize in wearing bulky, spiked armor and throwing themselves into combat, striking with their body itself and giving themselves over to the fury of battle. The close-combat battlerager style meant that all dwarves who practiced it must be immensely strong and durable. Battleragers usually focused only on what they needed to fight and survive; this led to individuals with poor personal hygeine.

 DWARVEN TRIBES OF BATTLERAGERS

battleragers are dwarf followers of the gods of war and take the Path of the Battlerager. They specialize in wearing bulky, spiked armor and throwing themselves into combat, striking with their body itself and giving themselves over to the fury of battle. 

Battlerager armor was usually thick and spiked. This armor is incorporated into the fighting style of the battlerager. Most battleragers cover their entire bodies in tattoos and symbols, any skin left bare will be covered in war paint before battle.

Beliefs

Battleragers worshiped the dwarven gods of war and many believed they channeled their god's spirit in battle. Battleragers were also under the impression that if they died in battle, their gods would resurrect them with increased strength. These beliefs allowed battleragers to fully immerse themselves into combat, as they had no fear of death.
