Hi shadowdragonlord, my info is based upon the research I did for middle period norman castles/fortifications when designing my own for use in a AD&D style adventure (still have the floor plans). Plus crawling around every one I got near on my trips to the UK and France. daemonknight - We only offer opinions, you are the only one you must satisfy with your work. We can only guess at the context you are setting this in and interpret it in our own manners. As to amateur, newbie, veteren, whatever!, we are all here to learn and exchange ideas, tips and help. (even those of us who have succumbed to the darkside and work in other packages - grin) As I may have said before, I am looking forward to see where you go with this.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
