I would like to have my players use Weapon Groups from UA instead of weapon profs.
To add some flavour I have started to work on regional weapon groups for my campaign. Does anybody have any ideas comments. I am thinking that the Great Kingdom = Germany, Greyhawk = Venice/Genoa, and maybe the Scarlet Brotherhood = Spain with the inquisition in charge.
Weapon Groups:
Regional
Olman – Jungle based on Aztec weapons
