I see the whole thing is becoming complicated again:
Again, There should only be one standard bearer and one leader. Come on, we are talking about a unit of MAX 8 men and preferrably 6.
Secondly, I don't know about the idea of having aura spouting legionaries. In my opinion auras in this variant can only be explained as a leadership thing and having multiple auras flying about would obscure who is the leader of the outfit.
Also I think there should be some tactical considerations in the centurion's choice of auras. (Does this situation require Might, Concentration or Defiance, Hmm.)
The reason I chose barbs for the legionaries is that that class has the most relevant skills, Throwing Mastery, Concentration. A single point in berzerk could help against any physical immunes that might show up.
The addition of a mojomancer (a necromancer who only uses curses) can be debated. Should he replace the original centurion as a tactical commander (points out weaknesses in enemy forces), or the standard bearer (strikes fear into the heart of the enemies of Rome).
Personally I am still all for the druid for his reference to the great she-wolf who nurtured Romulus and Remus.
As I see it following setups are up to debate:
4 Legionaries: Should they be vindicator (Smite) paladins with little or no aura use, but with javelins or should they be concentration barbarians with Throwing and Sword Mastery?
1 Centurion: Should he be an aura paladin or a mojomancer (curse necromancer).
1 standard bearer: Should he be an aura paladin a gutted summoner druid or a mojomancer.
My own assessment is:
Legionaries: Concentration barbarians.
Centurion: Aura paladin, perhaps with a bit of Smite.
Standard Bearer: Gutted Summoner druid with a staff. His role is more symbolic than anything. He is a bit like a king in a chess game.
