Wherein your humble scribe presents yet another Barbarians of Lemuria character he put together as an NPC for use in his own (highly-derivative) Kaalmuria setting. More will follow at highly irregular intervals.
From the frozen wastes of Geirbjornhal comes Stig Damsgaard, fierce warrior of the wilds. Captured and enslaved by the forces of Warlord Krug Jas when he was a young man defending his village, Stig soon proved to his captors that his innate ferocity could be put to better use in their army where, at the very least, he would be killing their enemies rather than their slave masters. While serving his new master Stig developed an interest in the songs and poems of the peoples he helped the Warlord conquer. Along the way he has mastered several different folk instruments and intends to learn more still.

Once more: another fine creation friend, pao.
Is “born to climb” a boon from BoL or one of your own creation? I’m away from my books (stuck very, very late at work) and can’t remember.
Either way it’s a good boon- i’ve been thinking of coming up with a list of my own, setting specific
Thanks, amigo!
And I’m away from my books right now, too. But I’m fairly certain I created that one for my setting, to give folks a chance at the whole Conan-esque “born in a land of cliffs” and therefore being good a climbing schtick.
That’s one of the great things about BoL to me – the ease with which one can implement new boons for those kinds of things. If you do whip up more boons for your setting, please do post ’em at your blog. I’d love to see them!
