My guess is that Ahmed is in fact a bard with Weapon Focus (Scimitar) and Skill Focus (Ride). This is why:* Ahmed possess bardic knowledge as shown in the scene he deducts that the bear-people probably lives in caves. He is also very curios and stops to investigate most things.* Ahmed learns languages awfully fast. (Bards have Speak Other Language as class skill)* Ahmed says in the narrative in the beginning that he was a poet in his home country.* Even though bards don't get scimitar as weapon proficiency you might argue that since they get longsword it is suitable for a person of his culture to learn scimitar instead.* Ahmed is good at diplomacy as he knows exactly what he need to do to be acknowledged by the vikings.* Ahmed promises to write down the story of Buliwyf.The rest of the warriors are difficult to make out and those not mentioned specifically are probably barbarians with ranks in Profession (sailor) instead of Craft.Buliwyf (the leader): Fighter as you said. Perhaps a level of expert too as he seems fairly educated.Herger the Joyous (the blonde): Rogue. He defeats his opponent in the duel after pulling off a successful bluff (feint) and follows up with a sneak attack beheading him. Knows latin.Helfdane the LargeRoneth the HorsemanRethel the ArcherSkeld the Superstitious (tattooed face)Weath the MusicianEgdtho the Silent: Ranger (Fights with two weapons and prefers to sit in a furn rather than the guard tower.)Halga the WiseHyglak the QuarrelsomeHaltaf the Boy: Is just a boy. ½ level warrior?Ragnar the DourThe vikings have an edge on the wendols in battle therefore I don't thing they are much more than warriors. It doesn't seem to suit them to have developed into a character class.</blockquote>
