Re: The Book of Cathar Spearmen
The Cathars are definitely good, but they aren't the best thing in the game. A rank is where they should be, A+ is where the truly broken things reside.
I made a post a few pages back describing what I think would have been a more thematic version of Braced Spear. The idea was that a braced spear should be more effective against bigger things, and the power should reflect that. So the D20 rolls became; Small a 20, Medium 18 - 20, Large 16 - 20, Huge 14 - 20. Anything that's huge is going to have the life to tank a few hits, and it helps keep them from being as annoyingly powerful against the vast majority of melee squads. You can of course tweak these numbers as needed to bring them to whatever balance you see fit.
