Bronze Age Barbarians
The pre-Roman era constructed weapons from an alloy of tin and copper called bronze. While this era produced philosophy, great architecture and other advances, militarily it is far behind the other Dark Ages. Barbarian cultures having this technology level are likely not to have iron available in their regions and must resort to inferior weaponry. All starting metal weapons are considered bronze for these characters.* Barbarians from this technology level are proficient in all of the following weapons: axe (battle, hand, great, throwing), bow (long and short), cestus*, club (normal and great), dagger, dart, javelin, lance (light), mace (all), quarterstaff, spears (all), sword (broad, khopesh,* short), trident and warhammer. In addition, Bronze Age barbarians are proficient in the following armours: scale, hide, studded leather, leather, padded and all shields. By choosing this technology level, you may choose two benefits of your choice from your native region’s benefits menu.
