I remember a dwarf in a campaign once. He was Ex-Lone Star turned Private
Investigator. Almost no chrome installed. I cant remember what his name
was when it started but we all ended up calling him Sam (Sam Spade) He had
this Trench coat (cut for a dwarf of course) and was pretty intense. What
made him memorable was that 1. He was VERY sensitive about his height.
Someone in the group made the comment that it would be easier for him to
look under desks. It got bad from then on.

and

2. He did it all in a Foghorn Leghorn like voice "You, Ah say, you bettah
put that gun down boy"
