ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Um, has anyone else considered the fact that armor over bare skin/flesh/feathers/scales/whatever, or even over light fabric, must be quite uncomfortable? And walking on lava, which averages 750 oC but can reach 1250 oC, is not? My characters are too pure of heart to understand why they need to wear...

What under my characters armor?

Er my character?

Trolls and Hobbits fitting into the same armour Well a Hobbit will always fit inside a trolls armour :lol: How many children are we talking about? This post is also in the General Discussion section so I don't want to get spoily 8) Often I wonder how many Chihuahua dogs it would take to overpower, ...

Yeah horses are strong, but lets look at exactly what Strenght in ToME is. It give not only extra damage but if I'm correct, To-Hit benefits as well.

I like to think they have Troll like strength because they are all like conan, just massive, and also are rare as hens teeth. Like for every 1 RK there are 100,000+ regular humans.

I think Rohan Knights have the increased stats ( eg Str ) because they are the elite humans, the cream of the crop and all that. In my mind you can't but a fancy horse and become a Rohan Knight, you are born one. And to back this up they, like all good knights, have reduced intelligence compaired wi...

Regular Humans are the best, the rest are so uppity about their status Actually are there any "Regular" humans in LotR's? they all seem to come from somewhere. Perhaps regular means they do they jobs in society that are not rare like garbage men or secretaries, and thus they are just regul...
