Warhammer - Bretonnia 1.6 (beta) out now!

As mention on Patreon, this ended up being a very quick update! I've not done a ton of changes since the book was in a pretty good place overall. Some of the bigger changes include removing the Templar Crusader which has been replaced by the Crusader's Vow. I've also removed the Mangonel since it was just a worse version of the Trebuchet which it could be proxied as anyway. I've also removed some of the less interesting special characters whose items and abilities have mostly been moved to the regular Bretonnian Magic Items so they can be built from regular Paladins if one wishes to.

As for new things, I've included a new Peasant Hero (Sergeant-At-Arms), a unit of Bidowers which isa skirmish unit with javelins or slings, made the Royal Pegasus a Monstrous Beast better fitting the new model, and two new Special Characters from the Old World (with Èlise now having her name spelled correctly). You also have a greatly expanded Lore of the Lady, lots of new magic items, and several new equipment options for several units. Hope you enjoy the updated, and many thanks for your support to both new and recurring Patreons!
