The only other reference I can think of is the Matriarchy of Pelatan from the Master Set Map. I think Bruce Heard was the one who suggested there might be Amazons (Culture or class) in that part of Mystara.agathokles wrote:No, as far as I am aware there's no Amazon class or even monster in BECMI. Probably the Amazon went out of fashion sometimes between 1979 and 1983![]()
Note that the Warrior Maidens of Madarua in B4 are sort-of Amazons, but they are (mostly) classed as Fighters, so it is possible that there was a time of class deflaction in the early times of BECMI where people did not make up new classes for everything. This obviously ended at some point when specialist priests and other classes were introduced, but at that time Amazons were probably really out of fashion
I also thought like you that Amazons might be more of a 1970s concept, but Amazons do turn up in AD&D 2nd Edition as a Kit in the Complete Figther's Handbook (and I think other handbooks too?).
If you look at the list of classes in Agathokles' original post though, the vast majority of classes are actually non-human races.
In a system with broad generalized classes such as BECMI, is there really room for an Amazon class though? Not saying there shouldn't be a class like that, but what makes Amazons different from female Fighters?
