<intuitive: hunk ... Com higher than Cha>

This Northern red-haired barbarian is the strong arm of the two-hero team.
Taking special interest in languages, he can read and write all the major
ones of Nehwon and there is an 80% chance that he will understand any
obscure one is exposed to.

Graywand: He always carries a bastard sword (which he
always names Graywand)

Heartseeker: and a dirk (more short sword or poniard than anything else) he calls Heartseeker.

He sometimes fights with a hand axe, balanced for throwing, in his left hand. He is also adept with a long bow.
Fafhrd is able to climb walls and hide in shadows with a +20% over his usual thiefly base.

Coming from the frigid plains of the cold north, this barbarian hero is a hardy
soul who withstands hardships with a grim smile. He loves sailing,
as he went on many viking-like raids as a youth. It was in Lankhmar that he
met the Gray Mouser. This hero is very emotional and willing to believe in
wild tales and schemes far more readily than his shorter partner.
Fafhrd has even gone so far as to take up religion upon one occasion,
which was short lived but epic in the telling.

OUT ON A LIMB
'Important mistake'
Dear Editor,

I don’t mean to be picky, but I believe that this
is an important mistake. In TD #27, on page 29, in
your article “Giants in the Earth,” you said that
Fafhrd fights with Greywand in his right hand and
an axe in his left.

This is incorrect, as Fafhrd lost his left hand in
“Swords and Ice Magic.” (If you want to know
how, read the book.) In its stead, he wears a hook.
He also has adapted a long bow to fit into his
stump. This fact, however, makes him even more
awesome than ever.

I consulted with Mr. Schick on this and he
explained to me that Fafhrd listed in GITE represented
an “average” Fafhrd, as he appears
throughout the majority of the cycle. Certain other
characters, past and future, will be similar in that
regard.
