<t>Probably both in the reprint and errata. As for how it's to be changed, no idea on that one. I was one of the few who liked the barbarian as is (except for the name) so I generally didn't have too much to do with "fix the barbarian" threads. <br/> _________________<br/> Baron Greymoor<br/> Troll ...

<r>Based on the Crusader preview I'd say the Castellan's Guide to Arms & Armor will have at least some information on this. Otherwise, I've been doing things pretty much like Treebore mentioned. The info on Arms & Armor can be found here:<br/> <URL url="http://www.trolllord.com/cnc/8502.html...

So a medium sized character can either move 15 feet and attack or run head long into battle 30+ feet a...

I either use melded classes or create my own classes. But, most of the time, I can give a player what he wants by using "former professions" which are more or less secondary skills from 1e.
