Looking to crowdsource a few interesting follower moves (a la perilous wilds) for a bare-knuckled half-orc dervish, a heavily armored dwarven tunnel guard and a polearm-wielding paladin of a sun goddess.
One of them (as determined by custom move via a love letter) will be accompanying my 8yr old’s Swordmage as we kick off our family Kingmaker DW style campaign this weekend… I am looking forward to reading your suggestions!
I don´t have any interesting ones but these are well within the tropes of the hobby:
Half-Orc: *Smash something or someone. Instinct: To look for trouble
Dwarf: *I got your back. Instinct: Oh that shiny gold
Paladin: *Charge into combat. Instinct: To judge

For the dervish:
