Lastly, Skallagrim the Barbarian! I am thinking he has gotten a little neglected given that The Wizard obviously does his magic, The Elf has a gun and also acrobatics, the Dwarf can do ship repairing things and traps etc. So I am open to giving the Barbarian either some additional ability - some berserk frenzy, an extra attack action, ignoring one wounding damage blow per encounter, or a deathblow move etc. You can suggest a skill or background for him if you want. I was quite intrigued by the anon who chose this option
>>5486028 of the eloquent orator Barbarian lol who is either some sort of Skald or wants to give speeches, but you would probably need to upgrade the Charm -1 attribute of this hero first! What I can also say is that I would permit some of the attributes to be used in unconventional ways, eg Strength is not just punching and brawling, it is akin to "doing warrior things" so if a character were to give a martial speech before warriors on the eve of a battle, I could be persuaded to let you use Strength to roll instead of Charm in that situation etc. And the platypus skull talisman has also gone mostly unused, you can suggest an ability for that too...
In terms of swords, I found exact historical pictures of claymores (2nd from right, and farthest right is a more fantasy claymore one). There is of course always the option to choose !notConan sword hehe 2nd from left. If you have other ideas for an evocative two-handed sword, (eg Arabic or Asian? etc) please do suggest them. Another avenue I could do is provide something very exotic, like a Macuahuitl (Aztec two-handed obsidian baseball bat/club thing, basically a stone sword) or some weird African ceremonial throwing sword, Egyptian sickle khopesh etc. These can definitely work in my setting too!
>QM: write in your choice of the style of weapons etc or any other lifepath background items for the characters>write in any ideas for an additional ability or skill for the Barbarian >write-in any other (mundane) utilities/tools/items you might needThe style of the item you choose may affect the "look" of the world, enemies and also how npcs react and perceive the background of your character.
If you are fine with my default choices, I can just pick some and we can move to the next scenario. This is the last chance to equip before whatever lies ahead, so make sure you have what you need!
I will leave this choice open for a while, and prepare the next battlemap, thank you!
