Tal Arimite Knife Fighters

Page history last edited by Kirk 15 years, 8 months ago

Because of a focus on the Arimite Revenant, the Arimite Knife Fighter got the short end of the stick in the 5th Edition. Here is a review of the two and some suggested changes. These will get the starting character closer to the template shown in the 4th Edition. Please add your thoughts and questions.

=================================================

Revised 5th Edition Arimite Knife Fighter:

Spare Points 0 2 2 6 6

Age - 14 16 20 24

Remaining differences:

- lack of Mounted Combat (buy "Out of Path" for 6 points?)

- DEX is 2, not 3

- CON is 1, not 2

- PER is 2, not 1

- RC and CR are 4, not 5

This seems reasonably close while maintaining some balance with the Revenant template and keeping parity with the Danuvians (who also are down 1 click in CR and plenty more in RC). What do you think?
