Loved the charm guide. -BogMod

Myr, I'd just like to thank you for your Power Combat guides and your Custom Charm guidelines, those documents really helped me focus Dawn Fist style into something I think fits well both thematically and mechanically. Any chance I can hear some of your thought on Arbalests? ~ BrigandRansom
