Hi Peter,
>Non combat types have to line up in front of the Godar with his big pot of
>woad to get the swirling magical runes and picturespainted over their
body -
>heavily tattoos huscarls and the like have them already!
> I don't think non-combatants wear woad
Soz for any confusion - I wasn't refering to non-combatants but fyrdmen - farmers and the like who fight for the clan but are not full time combat types....
>Come on, Barntari like boasting as much as the warriors, they
>just boast about different things....
but I dont see them wearing big agressive scary tattoos everywhere (BTW I know that "scary" is a culture thing but through most cultures in history - in particular the Germano-Celtic Heortling model, they seem to have been used as such - certainly scared the be-Mercury out of the Romans...)
