Arms Companion

Rolemaster 2nd Edition

by Sanford Berenberg

Arms Companion is the latest volume of optional material for Rolemaster. Its focus is the warrior—the sword-swinging, muscle-bound champion that so often saves the day and proves to be the backbone of the fantasy genre. The material in the Arms Companion will add versatility, depth, and even a few new abilities to this honorable (and, often, not-so-honorable) profession.

New options for combat maneuvers.

I loved the Rolemaster Companions. They gave you SO many supplemental rules, new character classes (battle-mage!), and items that you couldn't possibly use them all. But you could read them all. And this was a Shadow World book, which made it cooler.
