12/12/8 fighters weren't frowned on, but most everyone had played a dozen of 
them in Melee/DT/etc. For roleplaying, we wanted interesting. Speaking of 
whip specialists, I had a whip specialist name Indy J. Bartok, a medieval 
scholar, obviously patterned after Indiana Jones. We had a arquebusier, a 
boomerangist, an animal handler with a dozen trained animals (probably the 
most deadly fighter in the bunch), a knight, a thief with lots of feminine wiles 
(yes, we even had women gamers), an ex-pirate crossbowman, someone 
who boxed with two cestii and a martial artist (not all of these at the same 
time). Gods, we had fun. We also had the best GM ever, Bill Seurer. He even 
made AD&D a fun roleplaying experience (where I had my one and only 
AD&D character - a druid with a trained rhinocerus with an enchanted horn -- 
the rhino had the horn, dammit, not the druid... though the rhino wasn't Bill's 
fault, he was co-GMing with someone else).
