CODE makes my computer go cross eyed, windows and scroll bars all over the place. Also sorted out most of my initial questions. It looks like to have one more skill point left. I'll probably allow you to take K/nature and K/local as background skills (1:1).Why the level in barbarian? It almost seem to work against the sorcerer level. Barbarians wade in, sorcerers hang back. The armour will give you a significant chance at spell failure. Is it just the skills? More importantly however, I'd like to tie the barbarian level into the setting. The people of the Old World don't really have a barbarian culture in the sense of raging warriors. As mentioned, the eastern raiders do. Humm. I had a barbarian once. Left his homeland to serve in the Barbarian Guard of another Kingdom, like his father and older brother had before him. This might work. [idea]Some of the Kings and Earls keep a retinue of barbarians as an personal retinue, guard. Like the Romans did. Arn left his homeland and joined one of these groups before his sorcerous abilities began to mainfest themselves. He was forced to leave (before or after being discovered?). Only problem was, his people hate sorcerers more than the Old Worlders. This option leaves open the possibility of 'connections in high(ish) places'. Also the possibilty of bitterness.[/idea]The longspear and shield also seems a little odd. You can't use both at the same time. The lonmgspear does give you reach though.Anyways, let me know what you think. For my own record keeping, I usually convert your character sheets to my own - this way everthing is the same at this end. You don't have to use it. It also helps me get my head around them. I've posted 'Jack' as I have him at the moment.
