[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 394834, member: 6533"] [b]Egpyt[/b] This is shaping up to be a very cool thread. I saw the earlier post on appropriate weapons and it got me to look up my Swashbuckling Adventures book. The following Prcs use fighting styles that might be appropriate to a culture with Egyptian weapons. The Archaeologist could fit if the name and purpose were changed to be more a caretaker of tombs than a raider Finnegan Boxer: this one's a little questionable I can't remember whether Egyptians were boxers or wrestlers Dobrynya Wrestler: Ditto with above Leegstra Berserker: for axe wielding barbarian mercenaries Buslayevich Bowman: for horse/camel/chariot riding archers Bernoulli Swordsmen Lord's Hand Lucani Swordsman Yael Swordsmen Vahiy Commander: though with emphasis on chariots rather than cavalry Sersemlik Swordsmen: use khopesh Daphan Swordsmen Corsair: religious fanatics are just a part of the mythos and good for the Apophis plot line you discussed Also I recommend the following White Wolf books: Any of the Mummy books The Silent Strider's tribe book: this one is very very very good Bastet and Mokole Changing Breed books These all give good ideas for Egypt flavored fantasy, cosmology, magic, and magic races. The second one also has a nice breakdown on Egyptian cultural attitudes generally. [/QUOTE]
