Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino Duration and intensity of training. I'm reading Killershrike's site right now and I think it has the answer: the standard infantryman wouldn't have +2 CSL's but knights and janissaries could. Gottfried so far - STR 20 DEX 15 CON 20 BODY 12 - 13 natural PD 6 natural ED 6 INT 10 EGO 12 PRE 12 SPD 4 OCV 6 DCV 6 REC 8 END 40 STUN 32 - 33 Language: German (idiomatic) Language: Turkish (fluent conv.)

Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino A few questions: 1. Should a great sword have a natural OCV bonus? Official charts say that it does, http://surbrook.devermore.net/herosource/fantasy_hero/europeweapons.html suggests otherwise. 2. What level of training would give a +2 for a certain type of combat?

Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino Thanks, that gives me a better frame for estimating Gottfried's abilities. So far, his physical ability levels resemble Bran Mak Morn's. STR 18 - 20 DEX 15 - 18 CON 19 - 20 BODY 12 - 14 natural PD 6 natural ED 6 INT 10 EGO 12 - 14 PRE 11 - 15 SPD 4 OCV 6 - 7 DCV 6 REC 8 END 38 - 40 STUN 31 - 34 Other things that Gottfried could have are 12 - 13 Riding, as seen from the way he escaped his pursuers, and Poor Income.

Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino STR 16 - 20: Gottfried seems to have strength proportionate to his large size. 20 could be plausible - he did cut off an armored warrior's arm in one swipe. DEX 15 - 19: Not heroically agile, but I get the idea that he's more mobile than his frame would suggest. His experience in Mohacs strengthens that impression, as well. CON 18 - 20 BODY 12 - 15 natural PD 6 - 7 natural ED 5 - 7 Gottfried has fought through and survived at least three major battles: Rhodes, Mohacs, and Vienna. INT 10 EGO ? : On one hand, his battle history suggests an above-average level of mental strength. On the other, he did get drawn into launching an ill-advised attack on the Turkish camp while drunk. There's at least one Complication, or something else, involved here. PRE 11 - 17: Although he has an imposing physical aura, he doesn't seem to have honed it to assert himself at the level that Red Sonya does. SPD 4 OCV 6 - 7 DCV 5 - 7 Possible skills +1 with HTH combat +2 with two-handed swords I can't tell if the CSLs are too low or just right. Gottfried uses the great sword well. Speculating beyond that becomes difficult.

Re: Character: Red Sonya of Rogatino Can this old thread be used to speculate about Gottfried's abilities? It could get the ball rolling towards a Hero conversion.
