> I thought of the death rune, because pretty much the only action Baroshi performed was to kill (Termain Osboropo), and after that he went on to fight (the maggot). In my eyes Harmony doesn't seem to fit.

Not *every* god who fought and killed in the Gods War has the Death Rune ;)

I was actually thinking of a more aggressive and "masculine" take on Harmony, which would work out as defensive and protective fighting powers or similar, rather than the "feminine" healing powers usually associated with the Rune among the Orlanthi. But you know, that rôle is possible via the Earth Rune, anyway... which is why I'm *still* in agreement with Jeff's opinion. ;)

> Having him only one rune would certainly solve the problem. I simply didn't think of that. So all of Baroshi's chaos fighting and chaos killing abilities (probably not much of it anyway) would derive from the earth rune? I didn't expect that to be possible.

See above for the Harmony suggestion -- it's only if you *really* wanted Baroshi to have two Runes that I would suggest it. Harmony does have an anti-Chaos aspect, as providing resistance to the internal corruption that Chaos can provide.
