How much do you know about the origin of Spinecastle and the Battle of Shamblefield (Caldni Vir's Charge)? Well be prepared to learn a version of the truth with the newest installment of Cyndor's Improbable History. Be sure to read the commentary at the end for enlightening stuff about Barbarians as well.
Ha!
ReplyDeleteI remember hating the Barbarians from my DM's perch back in the day. But I couldn't remember why. I alway sthought it was those awful D12 hit points. Now I know the real reason! Thanks for the insight.
I agree, tom, but before researching this I thought it was much worse. I thought it was XP divided by 100 not 1000. That would've killed off an entire generation of Rhizians if so!
ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteI admit we played fast and loose with a lot of rules (and would do so again today if still playing), but the whole idea that one needed a separate 'class' to fill what I always thought was just a 'role-playing' choice, was rather galling. But that doesn't mean we were consistent either. I loved the Cavalier for some reason, and one could make an even better argument that it should have just been a fighter on a horse with a lance....
