We did have a player once who carried a polearm, a great-axe, a large shield, a war hammer, and a crossbow. He was a dwarf so he was strong to enough, but ... you can't "sling" a halberd over your shoulder. This would probably work. Great idea!<br />I also like the castle picture. If I ever make another castle I'll definitely add cross beams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-12277224579401681662010-03-24T15:33:39.965-04:002010-03-24T15:33:39.965-04:00Why would I pick up a whole new game for a sequenc...Why would I pick up a whole new game for a sequence of 3 numbers that I already have?Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-29585996718798370462010-03-24T14:37:57.308-04:002010-03-24T14:37:57.308-04:00For Encumbrance, you should take a look at Mazes &...For Encumbrance, you should take a look at Mazes & Minotaurs-a free RPG you can download.

As much as you want, and let fantasy fill in the joints like magical bondo! <br /><br />Killing dragons? You got plenty of real world animals you can extrapolate from, same as with fantastical chimerae. <br /><br />A little bit of realism is like the Mass component Einstien's equation, with E being the resulting power of imagintion!BigFellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052419088140204154noreply@blogger.com
