Roman Legionaries

[Little Faith]

I chose barbarians for the ordinary legionaires because they can use most of their skill points without touching "forbidden stuff". Skills such as Sword Mastery, Throwing Mastery, Concentration and such are all pretty much in character. Still they don't look exactly "roman".

I do agree that paladins would look greater, but of relevant skills they really only have Smite and perhaps Zeal and then the resist auras for passives. I also rule out Holy Shield because it destroys the roman "shield wall" look.

I chose a druid for the standard bearer simply for his ability to wear wolf pelts. I think a long staff looks a bit like a roman standard with some imagination. Perhaps he should be able to summon some wolves when alone and in extreme danger. A spirit pet would be a good representation for the psychological effects the standard bearer might have.


And yes, I am on Europe.
