The main reason so many calvalry were chosen is that most of the regular Karrnathi military are calvalry.  (Royal Knight and Dragoon units mostly)   As for the tower shield proficiencies, just assume they had shield focus instead of tower shield proficiency.  I'm having a fair amount of RL trouble lately, so I'm still going to be quite limited on my posting.  (I promise I'll come back to it though; I haven't been able to get into the mood to run my face to face games either, mostly falling back on boardgames)<br/><br/>So please, nobody worry about me abandoning the game!     (sorry for the inconvenience, but you know the entire just getting back to school thing)
