[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6627037, member: 92305"] [b]-- ASSHURI --[/b] The asshuri are the elite mercenary soldiers produced by the city states of the meadow shemites. A section of [b]Shem = Gateway To The South[/b] discusses these infamous warriors. One of the things the book says is that, upon killing 10 men, an asshuri is given a sword with an iron hawk on its pommel. After killing 20 men, an asshuri gains bronze hawk. After 100, the asshuri is awarded a golden hawk pommel. The sword commands respect among the assuri. When and ironman, bronzeman, or goldman speaks, even his superiors take note. I smiled when I read this because it fits nicely with the experience rules I created for the game. As written, experience is awarded totally at the whim of the GM. For my campaign, I devised some simple rules. Mainly: A foe is worth in XP his level multiplied by 100. A foe of 1st level is worth 1 x 100 = 100 XP. A foe of 2nd level is worth 200 XP. And, so on. I usually add in the foe's hit points as an adjustment. Thus, a 1st level foe with 7 hit points would be worth 107 XP. This makes for an easy rule. It basically says that a character of 2nd level has defeated 10 men to rise to that level of expertise. A character of 4th level has defeated 60 men (10 @ 1st, 20 @ 2nd, 30 @ 3rd). So, in my game... 2nd level asshuri are ironmen. Some are brassmen. Asshuri, 3rd-4th level are brassmen. 5th level asshuri (and above) are goldmen. [/QUOTE]
