[QUOTE="Imperialus, post: 3448272, member: 893"] OH! If there is space I'd love a historical campaign. Sign me up for a fighter type. One suggestion, at least if you can get your hands on it might be to use the combat rules from A Game Of Thrones D20. basically combat is an opposed roll with the attacker rolling D20+str+BAB and the defender rolling D20+Dex+Shield. If the attacker hits, then the armour DR is subtracted from the damage roll. As for weapons and armour, most of what you have looks good, some name changes are all you'd really need. Personally I'd change the following Long Sword = Xiphos Saber = Makhaira Scimitar = Kopis Short Sword = Gladius or (a short version of the Xiphos developed by the Spartans that I can't remember the name of) Spear = Doru (or the spear used by the Roman Triarii that again I can't remember the name of) long spear = Sarissa Javalin = Pilum Those are the big ones... I'm at school right now so I don't have access to my books but I'll thumb through them once I get home There is also a sort of laminated armour used by the greeks after bronze began to go out of fasion but I can't remember it either.
