Re: Run and Shoot action

+2 to hit modifier works.. Run 5 inches forward, shoot, run 5 inches to left, right...backwards etc... I’d counter point with why would charge and shoot only have a -1 then? Both involve rapid movement why should not charging have a greater penalty? Because you can change direction after youv'e sho...

Re: Run and Shoot action

I'd suggest a pretty hefty penalty on the roll (say plus 2, rather than plus 1) to represent shooting 'on the move' if you were to add it.

OK, I've spotted a flaw.

According to the latest muster flowcharts, both Chimaeras and Manticores can only be mustered by a Flesh Drune or by Alix, unless they're bound to a goad drune. So I don't think this works (although I'd very happily be told otherwise).

In the 2nd ed. musters, a giant is now 450 gold. Vastly less than it used to be and, so, something that could be included in more lists.

Re: Sáthach and Gairlom

Actually, upon further reflection, I think this is all moot anyway. With an authority of 82 (one higher than a Mormaer), Sáthach can only ever be an individual in an Albainn army anyway. A pity, I rather liked the idea of the Skye warrior-guru lending her expertise to a bunch of Pictish highlanders.
