Embracing something of the Slayer from The World That Was, Cubicle 7 talk about another of the archetypes that will be available to players in the Age Of Sigmar Roleplaying Game, the Doomseeker.

Doomseekers work in Age Of Sigmar much as they did in the Old World, Duardin who have broken oaths or sworn themselves to a life of brutal hardship for some misdeed in their previous life. No-one truly knows what the reason behind a Doomseeker choosing this life is since it is a closely guarded secret.

The only time where their old life may come to the fore is in the day-to-day dealings of you and your group. Perhaps the Doomseeker might (as the article suggests) haggle like a skilled merchant or play an instrument like a talented musician. Either way, whilst those old skills are still fresh in their mind, the Doomeseeker's quest is to find a righteous and worthy fate at the hands of ever-larger foes.

A Path Of Atonement

These Doomseekers are now bent on destruction and death, throwing themselves with reckless abandon into the fiercest of fights in hopes of atoning for their past. As a story hook, this is already an enticing one as you balance the survival of your comrades against your own goal.

Of course, you've also got the links to your past to deal with and it could provide you with interesting stories to tell. Perhaps the group will find their way to a Duardin Fyreslayer stronghold and encounter those from the Doomseekers past?

I have always been fascinated with Slayers and Doomseekers since Gotrek & Felix (and of course my own love of Dwarves in general) and I think it would be great to see what nuanced stories you could tell about these wild berserkers.

Would you play a Doomseeker?
