Default Re: [Basic] Realistic Low Tech Challengers

Haven't had time to read it all, but two things I noticed while scanning it:

1) Roman Legionnaire should have higher HT on average, hiking and other endurance activities are what they did. I would expect the average Legionnaire to be more fit than HT10 with the fit advantage. They also should probably be stronger than ST11, they did train with double weight gladii and scutums.

2) English Longbowmen should be stronger than ST11, at least in the arms. War bows started at 80 lbs and English bows were often much heavier. There are very few people who can pull that kind of weight and it requires extensive training and continuous upkeep.
