Hi, so I'm not 100% sure what I want to play yet, though if possible a dwarf of some description is a strong contender. Either that or a Breelander.

I believe that wbweather wants to keep the game to all Rohirrim because he's using the Oath's campaign book, and it wants us to all be home grown Rohir, with possibly one Gondorian exception. So....

I think I'm going to try for a hunter type, beast-lore outrider that hunts trophy animals, orcs, and anything else like that.

This is what happens when someone doesn't read the opening post correctly :?

I guess I'll take a look at the options for the Horsey Peoples..

OK, I think I'm going to go with the Man of Harrowdale, trying to escape a Curse or dark past. Will have to work that out.

I plan to have him be a Scout (Explore), but he probably won't be very good at it on the first adventure; will upgrade it as soon as we get XP/AP though (favoured skill).

Quick question though, @wbweather Instead of the normal cultural weapon Sword 2, can I switch that out for Long Sword 2? I've never had a character that wielded a sword 2-handed before...

My sheet so far

Looking at being a reckless hunter type, he seeks the next dell, the next hunt, breaks out into song, doesn't really understand restraint or stealth. Why would you need such things! Ride! Rider to glory!

I made a new tab for the Sheets called "Horses" guess what's on there?

I can share the tab you folks, I'm adding it to my base sheet so if you haven't started on the sheet yet I can give you a new blank with it.
