I am not a fan of the elf really. Too many upsides and no real downsides unless it starts raining holy water. They may get the boot. I like what the halfling and dwarf bring so may still include those.

Good comments so far thanks!

Well I personally don't mind using humans only. I just wonder what should replace the elf, dwarf, halfling classes.

For instance, I could call a dwarf a miner or barbarian and have the same stats and rules. I read somewhere that a player on these boards was going to use the halfling and have them represented in game as human midgets. The midget "class" would utilize the halfling rules.

I want to replace the fantasy races with some Appropriate counterparts or classes that are human only. Any ideas?

I'm just wondering what people are doing to replace the high fantasy race/class combos of elf, dwarf and halfling for historical scenarios like Better Than Any Man.

Are people even including historical counterparts?

Hello,

I picked this game up after reading the reviews and thoroughly enjoy the rules. I've played since the early 80s and this is a nice new take on things.

Cheers all!
