Cool resource, though I prefer Kinsella's translation. (More earthy, didn't
leave out the smutty
parts).

What? The site I mentioned doesn't _have_ the smutty parts? Well ain't _that_ a kick in the head.Especially seeing as how the whole culture turns on the 3Fs; Feasting, Fighting, & Fornicating.
I would've suggested the Kinsella version myself (though I definately _don't_ consider it to be "beautifully illustrated" as it is often the rap associated with the book's illustrations), but I had found an easily accessable WWWeb version, so suggested it instead.
As for Cuchulainn's Warping Feat, I don't see a problem with it being
_too_ chaotic for the Orlanthi; just rename it Orlanth's Fury or something,
and _POW!_
When the Character's hair stands on end, blood shoots from the top of his
skull, his muscles all turn and warp, hundreds drop dead at the sight of him,
hundreds more drop dead at the sound of his war cry, and he rides into battle
on the haft of one of his own thrown spears as it thunks into an enemy, I
know _I_ wouldn't want to be among the opposition; -3 mod for attacking
multiple opponents or not <g>
