If you can get the dwarves onto the deck of a ship, they make great vikings, of the “we’re good guys for some reason, never mind what we do on our raids” variety.ĭragonborn: Dragonborn as vikings explains a few things. Maybe dwarves are just really good at facing their fear. This is a major disadvantage for going a-viking. They have beards, horned helmets, axes, and mead halls. In your campaign, do the barbarians of the frozen north have longships? If so, congratulations! You’re done.ĭwarves: Appearance- and culture-wise, dwarves are basically short vikings. In fact, the 5e PHB Barbarian illustration is a human viking. The ubiquitous human “barbarians of the frozen north” are very strong viking candidates. Humans: On Earth, the real vikings were all human, so humans get a big edge right off the bat. (To be a D&D viking you must wear horned helmets and raid in longships.) So who are the vikings in your D&D campaign? You didn’t… forget the vikings, did you? No worries! Come right this way, we’ll fix you right up.
It’s pretty much a requirement that your campaign world have a viking culture.
Hell, Basic D&D has a viking on the cover. Vikings are so D&D, because, you know, vikings are so metal, and metal is so D&D, and the transitive property.
