I was asking to see if there was any feedback on it before putting it there.

(Comment edited - I got your PC confused with Othniel's for a moment)

I thought your PC looked good myself! Since you raised Awareness, your PC could be a good Lookout (or Huntsman of course!), in terms of Travel roles, but once everyone has a PC up, we can all discuss.

Quick question, did Bill say the starting date of the campaign? Is it 2955?

Nice @Hamarr like your PC's picture. It's fun to see how different the characters are.

Btw, your character sheet isn't viewable/publicly viewable, I think...

Cool, thank you! I'll put it in the other thread.

Two things:

1) Your avatar is the same as Othniel. You two might want to work that out to avoid confusion.

2) When posting a hyperlink, make sure to use the tool inside the Forum Post Full Editor, as your character sheet's link is cut-off!

Character sheet set to shareable. Should be viewable now.

I have a question about the Cultural Reward "Glinting Spear". The handbook states the following:
Horse Lords of Rohan wrote:The Rohirrim wield tall spears of ash, topped with sharp heads of cold steel. Some have been brought out of the North by those riders who first followed Eorl, their hafts cut from the trees of the ancient Greenwood.

When you use a Glinting Spear to charge your enemies you get a +4 to your Injury rating.
Is this reward applicable to normal Spears, Great Spears or both?

I would personally like to use this Cultural Reward as a (two handed) Great Spear, but I am not sure if its allowed. The accompanying text make it seem so since the spears are 'tall', 'their hafts cut from the trees of the ancient Greenwood' and 'brought out of the North by those who first followed Eorl'.

I would like to know because I need to change my Cultural Reward if it is not allowed.
