Maybe a better term would have been "literary inspiration". Thanks for the citation. 

I don't intend to house-rule anything, but was curious. I'm also wondering how AD&D 1e represented berserkers, and think (?) OD&D just gave them (variously) +2 HD/# of attacks, or +2 to hit (depending on Chainmail or Alternative combat system), and fighting until killed or they had killed their foes.

I don't know about you, but even conceiving of such an endeavor qualifies as unlazy. Thank you! 

Excellent, thanks!

I'm in for one 

Interesting idea. I'm not familiar with the stories (I'm sure I read them long ago...), so what is Tsan-Chan like?

Just to be clear, I'm not being a diva with the whole "this is the last version" thing. My current job just doesn't leave me much free time, which is why it took so long to finish this.

No worries at all, I was riffing on Jeff's (presumably) joking about a Hyperborea 4th edition. What free time we have should be ours to decide what to do with, and your efforts to help us with our Hyperborean games are greatly appreciated.

Probably precisely where the idea belongs, as an "official" change. 

OK, but we're running into space concerns with all the skills and feats and skill/feat synergies. 
 

True...maybe adopt an all-digital model, and game-as-a-service at that point? What could go wrong?

I actually played one for a bit, but I hardly ever pay attention to how something plays, except in the sense of "does this class fit what I think the class name implies?". In that sense the scout did, and I had fun with it. And if a player wanted to use a whip I'd probably let them swap out a different weapon (just so there's no argument about getting a free weapon proficiency from anyone else in the game).

Agree, just extrapolate from AD&D.

I looked, and I have Khai of Khem: it's now on the short list to try next.
