Additionally, you also have what they call Perfect Rolls. When you roll the highest value on a dice you add a standard +7 to the result.

This brings me to a couple of interesting points about Burrows & Badgers. The game can be very deadly!

You will choose how to arm them from an extensive armoury as well as a massive list of additional equipment. This was possibly the best bit of the warband creation process for me as it was great looking through all the items and deciding how to add a bit more spice to my characters.
