I disliked not being allowed to play my classes as they are normally played:
Allow throwers to use a shield, thats what throwing is about, not long range artillery or short range full pt knive spamming. Got full pt? Well, you are going to destroy the enemy shield fast if you use real stuff, and not just spam darts/knives.
And horse ranged should be looked into again, too. Horse throwing sees no light against horse archery without shields. Also, the "no killing of the horse" rule may fit to the jousting tournament, but not here. Thats what horse ranged is about, killing horses. Atleast if you kill the horse of a thrower, I think he gets more deadly anyways, giving yourself a disadvantage.
(totaly am a sore loser if I can only use half my char, I know :p)
