Roman Legionaries

[Little Faith]

I have two big problems with the Barb/Legionare role, and they are throwing mastery and 222 dex.  Argh @ that.

Me, I like the idea of a Berserker build.  Since you're going to be wearing armor more for the sake of theme and appearance, why not go down the path that ignores your defense rating?  That also ties in nicely with the allowed Shout skill as it is a synergy to Berserk.

It also works well with the Javelins, actually, as they will be the Legionary's leech source while the sword is their damage source.

You know what? I agree fully with you.


The concentrate thing was really just a (bad) thought habit. I also fully support that the legionaries have a few personal "differences" as long as they still use the same battlegear and overall tactics.


Actually the low defense/high block thing is historically accurate.

The banded mail of the romans was not the best kind of body armor the world has seen, they got their defense from their inpenetrable shield walls.

I also fully support the notion of making the standard bearer into a kind of Fire Druid artillerist as long as Volcano is not used.



BTW, this is one of the most fast growing threads I have ever seen in here.
