I’ll try to edit my post to give long life to the Swordhawk, but it hasn’t been successful in the past. I’ll probably remove detect life in the process.
Somebody emailed me (named Mike) about me critiquing something they were writing about awnshegh. However, if you mail through Birthright.net, your return address comes out as arjan, whose name I don’t believe is Mike, but could be.
I personally would prefer to see more awnshegh with lower levels (8-11). I hate the concept of demi-god NPC enemies. The truly impressive bad guys are the lower level guys who are crafty enough to survive a beating and just strong enough to give a good fight.
I’m one of the few that prefers lower-level campaigns. I prefer the focus be on role-playing to the chaos of high-level gurus romping and stomping where-ever they please.
I too believe there should be some lower level awnshegh. The Swordhawk is an 18th level fighter and the second most important Awnshegh in Brechtur (following the Gorgon). Perhaps there should be some unlanded awnshegh created, not as far into their transformations.
