Briefly describe your Boulderstone here! Mine is:

Bronok Boulderstone; Itinerant Clan Warchief
Barbarian & Bard, with a level or two of Druid or Ranger down the road. Built to tank and tell the stories of Clan to anyone who might offer a lead on Gnorla's whereabouts. Bronok is occaisionally accompanied by Jak Boulderstone, his personal bodyguard (barbarian/ranger) played by my young cousin, Jacob.

Secale Boulderstone; Rye Farmer

Herbalist & Alleged Wizard who knows all there is to know about rye and many other plants. He hasn't developed any real wizard powers yet but there are stories about him going around. It's probably the ergotism (eating and drinking products made from ergot fungus-infected rye can cause both physical and mental harm, including convulsions, miscarriage, necrosis of digits, and hallucinations. Being good, hardy Dwarves...er cursed Giants, Boulderstones mostly suffer from the hallucinations which might explain a lot about them :)) going around that's making other Boulderstones think he's a wizard. Secale kind of likes the attention and does little to discourage it.

With all the drinking of Rye Shine going on, somebody has to raise the rye first, so that's what Secale does. He lives in the most fertile area of a large holler where he has a family with lots of children. His sons help him farm the rye and to defend the farm from enemies. His daughters and his wife make and sell rye bread as well as brewing up some of the best Rye Shine around. Those girls also chop the wood needed to keep the 'still fires burning so they are nearly as handy with an axe as their brothers are and are not to be messed with unless you want a good fight. He and his family are all chaotic good, as far as he knows. Some of the kids can be a little more chaotic than they maybe should be sometimes. He sometimes wonders if his wife isn't leaning a bit towards chaotic evil too :).

Sometimes, Secale and some of his older kin get a little bored with being on the farm all the time, and go off on adventures. Every Boulderstone enjoys a little monster killing now and then. Might even find somethin about Gnorla and gain more renown in the clan too. They take along plenty of good homemade rye bread and some of their best 'shine too. Never know when you'll run into someone who hasn't tried it yet, so you gotta be ready with samples for the new customers.

My early thoughts -
As I'm going for naming all my PFS characters after musicans - Goldfrapp the Nekkid Taldoran Trebuchet is really a female techno signer, Nitzer Ebb my 1st level Monk is well - a Godhead, and now with Clan Boulderstone I'm going to be using Mithoyn as the name. Mithoyan is a Sweadish death metal band and although they're singing in English, it's difficult to understand them (via YouTube), and as such I'll be playing a Barbarian to fit, I'll likely have some sort of speech impediment - like I have to yell and bang my head in the air. But I think that I'm going to be Chaotic Loyal and not so much on the good side - alas my fellow Boulderstone's, Taldorans (as I see it), and party members will see the loyal side.
That's the starting ideal that I have going for me. I'll work on it a bit more, but as with being a metal band, I like the idea of being a bard and singing their songs. I'll have to read the lyrics a bit more.
Be Well.

I'm glad you like it Doug! I'll keep refining and adding to the idea as I go along. Secale and his kin might start showing up in all kinds of games. Wanna take a swig of some Rye Shine? It'll bring in the New Year right :)

I have created a Boulderstone using D&D Insiders Character Creator. He came out "House-Ruled" but I couldn't seem to make him quite the Boulderstone he should be without doing so. He's still Level 1 though.

Here's a brief summary of him:
Secale Boulderstone Junior (AKA Junior Boulderstone)
20 year-old eldest son of Secale the Rye Farmer. Level 1 Barbarian. 3ft 5in 140 lbs. Chaotic Good.
HP 30, Str 18, Con 15, Dex 12, Int 4, Wis 6, Cha 11. Healing surges/day 10.
AC 15, Fort 16, Ref 10, Will 10. Speed 5. Passive Insight and Perception of 8.
Low Light Vision. Hide Armour.
Weapons: Scythe - two handed ATT 6 vs AC 2d4+4; Warhammer 1d10+4;
Throwing Hammer ATT 6 vs AC 1d6+4; Greatclub - two handed ATT 6 vs AC 2d4+4.
Always brings along an ample supply of Rye Shine where ever he goes.
Feat: Dodge Giants +1 to AC & Reflex. Whirling Slayer, Rage Strike, Rampage.
Knows Common, Dwarven and Giant. Skills: 3 Nature, 3 Atheletics, 8 Endurance, 3 Heal.
Junior Boulderstone has his mother's fierce temper but his father's love of nature and really strong Rye Shine. He is very loyal to friends. He goes a little crazy when fighting, so it's best to steer clear of him, especially when he's wielding his scythe and throwing hammers. Some say he's a bit 'touched in the head' even for a Boulderstone. Has many Dwarven friends and drinking buddies but don't call him a dwarf if you value your life. Has no adventuring experience yet, but has killed lots of game and predators on the farm. Years of using hammers, axes and scythes for farming has made him adept at using them for work as well as "play".

Maybe you'll see Junior Boulderstone in a D&D adventure soon.
