[QUOTE="Radaceus, post: 7438092, member: 6796086"] woohoo i get a roll for gold, always nice! thanks! updated, kept the warhammer ( had forgotten to edit the background :) ), probably good to have a blunt weapon around just in case... on the aside, I really like the retainer thing (Rorik), recently during a huge debate between my RL group regarding 1e/2e vs 5e (BTW, 5e is the future get use to it grognards!), we were discussing how the Gygaxian system we have been playing at for 35+ years has gone awry, in that we dont do the henchmen, nor acquire the lord/sage keep/tower etc as per the old rules when you got to level 9ish...granted we very rarely got/get to level 9ish in our 1e/2e games... and that modern RPG ( PF/D&D mainly) is all about epic levels , and how it is difficult to justify PCs playing at gods when you dril down into the nuts and bolts of it ( you can only save the world from world ending BBEG/dilema's once maybe twice in a lifetime?) ...anyhow, rambling, but my point is, somethign which was lost is the idea that higher level characters become the lords, and then PCs move on playing the henchmen ( true Gygaxian system) and the higher levels played at a D&D version of Axis and Allies.
