No worries, I am going to remake him a bit more skill focused...and repost.You are, but somehow, it looks like you've spent 12 points. Unless I've made some mistake.
I'm trying to do this in the character builder right now - currently at the spending previous experience section - but I can only bring Great Axe up to rank 2 before it disappears from my options.Your (Axes) skill pertains to ALL axes, including the Great Axe. It might be better, if you want to be better with just the Great Axe, to invest the XP in-game, because then, you can spend 10 xp to buy the Great Axe skill to rank 3...

Ah. Apologies. Got confused.That's why I said, In-Game XP. Which comes after we start the game.

Can you make a separate thread for character sheets? It would probably be easier than trying to find in them in OOC?
So basically, I can hold off on putting previous experience into weapons skills at character creation?That's why I said, In-Game XP. Which comes after we start the game.

Does it make sense to bring my Awareness and Insight up to 2? I know another PC has the former skill at that rank, and both the other PCs have the latter skill at rank 2.
It's not just them. Bardings have Great Bow and Spearthis is just a funny rant from a guy who has a Bachelors in history...the Elves of Lorian have two options for weapons...the best option is this one:
(Bows) 2, Spear 1, Dagger 1
YesCool. That should be my character complete then. Can I put him down as having a Great Axe on the sheet at the start?

If you are a trained archer...you have no business learning and also carrying around a SPEAR...that makes absolutely NO SENSE practically or historically...Dagger makes a lot of sense but I think most everyone gets Dagger 1...
Yeah my skinny elf is going to be carrying BOTH a GREAT BOW AND A SPEAR!?!?!? ummm...I do not think so...
I may just end up taking the other option (Sword 2, Bow 1, Dagger 1) particularly with a Barding wielding a Great Bow on our side... ;-)
Rant over.
Will take a look at him when I get back from work.Ok Red Shadow Claws , I have updated Calanhir on the character page, and added a bit more background. Please take a look at him and let me know what you think.
Uff, I wonder if they changed that in Second Edition? It seems kind of tedious.A bow isn't a melee weapon, while a spear can be used in both melee and be thrown.
Also, according to the rules, for someone to be in Rearward stance (to be able to fire a bow), you need at least two people in Forward, Open and/or Defensive stance (melee stances. And that's needed per archer. So, if two guys want to shoot bows, you need 4 guys, at least, in Melee.
And even then, you cannot fire a bow if you're outnumbered more than 2 to one.
I feel that what Eonivar was getting at was that - historically speaking - archers didn't tend to use spears as backup weapons.A bow isn't a melee weapon, while a spear can be used in both melee and be thrown.

They have not! You need two players in a melee stance to assume a rearward stance though hobbits have a cultural virtue such that they need only one other player in a melee stance to assume rearward.Uff, I wonder if they changed that in Second Edition? It seems kind of tedious.
I went sword for Calanhir (you can see his build on the character page)...so you are good, the Barding Great Bow abilities are really neat and I am excited to see them in action. I was considering Barding, but I like Tolkien elves...and have always wanted to write/RP/Roleplay one...thus CalanhirIf you want to go the swords route Eionvar that works too.
I will be away over Christmas, home again on the 30th.
