Ironsoul Forgemaster

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Skilled smiths can produce weapons of steel, and some can create weapons incorporating both steel and magic, but only the ironsoul forgemaster can craft a weapon that combines these arts with the shaping of soul essence. An ironsoul forgemaster can produce a weapon that is physical, magical, and soulmelded all at the same time, and in his hands it becomes a potent armament indeed.

All ironsoul forgemasters are dwarven mastersmiths who possess skill at crafting arms and armor, but they are also great champions of the dwarven people. Resolute and determined, they serve as preservers of ancient lore, guardians of sacred places, teachers of craft and skill, and holy servants of the dwarf deities. Because they can forge and wield weapons of terrible power, they embody the dwarven belief that skill coupled with courage can defeat any foe.
