like your thinking old boy :lol:

 

[prophet118]

heheh, my thinking is always key to my victory....thats a very unceltic like fighting style though

ive seen braveheart, ive seen mass scale war scenes..lol

its all chaos...

 

[toothill man]

must amit the celtics (unless the fir domain) never were a very organised bunch far more suited too one on one combat and combat among tribal champions :twisted:

 

[prophet118]

hehe yup...

but since the comic make such an emphasis on this (i guess), its a useful topic..lol

 

[toothill man]

the best bit about the sites is that it gives a good style for unarmed combat 8)

 

[prophet118]

yeh... which is something that tends to be a bit dry in 3rd ed games... course... having the feats help... some

 

[toothill man]

will get round too making feats but have alot more too do before that you know the feeling old boy :roll:

 

[prophet118]

definately do...lmao

but one should never underestimate unarmed combat feat... good feat..

i made a character a few months ago for baseline D&D, an attempt to make a monkish like character, without playing a monk..

made a 3rd level fighter... gave him some fairly cool feats from the base book... things like unarmed combat, deflect arrows (i think), combat reflexes, and i do beleive i was well on my way to giving him weapon specialization unarmed, and i think he even had stunning fist..

the point to the character was to really just have a brawler..lol

I've always been a fan of Celtic fighting tactics. Very Straight forward and to the point.
