Wrestling
Please indicate your character's prowess in wrestling so I have an idea how to write this. I've added Matrim to make it a clean 8 wrestlers. Here's the order
Garstan v Stigend Matrim v Crabannan Dan v Harreld Aethelstan v Osmund Two of these initial rounds are easy, since Crabannan has a bum leg and Harreld has a huge advantage on Dan ... once he can get his hands on him. ![]() The winner of G v S will face the winner of M v C, and D v H will face A v O; then the finish round will be the between the winners of the those two rounds. |

I think Garstan and Stigend would be fairly evenly matched. Garstan being possibly a bit stronger but Stigend being a bit more agile.

Well, Dan could be okay against a normal person, but Harreld is super-strong, and giant compared to him.

![]() You imagine Harreld to look like that? Thankfully I don't. I feel so attached to Dan now I feel like saying "thanks for the encouragement!"

Well sort of. His hair needs to be longer and he needs a beard and to smile a lot more and then he reminds me of Harreld.

![]() Seriously though, there's a lot to be said for short fighters (look at the Dwarves for example). Being shorter means that you have a greater chance with having more agility and speed than the taller man. Also the taller man [Harreld] would be rather clumsy if Dan is quick enough. Can you tell who I'm rooting for yet! ![]()

Ok, I finally managed to post.
And just in case anybody wanted to know, I completely edited my last post (as in, not the one I just posted now).

Otherwise: Crabannan is a tall guy, and his strength is slightly above average. He has extensive experience in all kinds of combat, including wrestling, and this has made him skillful. In a fight, however, his natural fighting instincts tend to take over, and he can become incredibly fierce and tenacious, like a kind of battle-rage. He is more flexible than most people he knows. Strengths: -some strength -large frame -flexibility -experience -high intensity Weaknesses: -not compact strength, tall -undisciplined -only average agility/quickness -old wound might unexpectedly cause him problems

Let's use a tool similar to intelligence IQ. 10 = average, 18 = genius, 3 = severely lacking in smarts. So what is your character's strength, dexterity, and constitution rating, on a scale of 3 to 18? Here's Harreld: Str: 17 Dex: 13 Con: 15. Have fun. ![]() |

Crabannan:
Str: 15 Dex: 15 Con: 15 How does this look? Do I have the right idea, LMP?
