I would be the hangman. If this is when decapitations were "in" and hanging wasn't I'd be the head chopper guy.


Oooh oooh ...
even better, I would be a trebuchet operator. That would be fricken awesome, launching huge boulders hundreds of feet and smashing them into walls and destroying stuff.


Also, On the side I would of course brew beer and mead.

I would be subjugated and worthy only for my abilities as a cook and squeezing children out from between my legs.

I suppose blacksmith would be cool. I'd miss the internet though, so I'd prefer not to live in the olden days.

going by runescape - I'd be a fisher + ranger.

although, I'd probably rather be a banker + gunsmith + bar tender.

There were no highways, you idiot. Dirt roads, maybe.. Romans were the first to use stone pavement for transportation, but it is not highway u think of..
I'd be a baker

Electro-magician. I'd use my knowledge of science and physics carefully to avoid getting branded a witch and I'd gain access to the greatest kings/emperors in service of their military.
