So, Mr.@Peik, you may PM me or something whenever you're free to start this collab

Also, @Scout, more interactions between Elmera and Jorwen are needed. They got off on the wrong foot, but only time will well if they'll stay on it.

@Leidenschaft Agreed! I like the back and forth... Maybe they'll be that pair that has to fight it out before they come to an agreement. Or, find common ground. For now. I like the dynamic. It feels natural.

Also, I'm terribly sorry for this weekend, folks. The flight was uncomfortable, but I'm home now.

@gcold So... Hypothetically speaking... If we wanted to change our character's main choice of weapon(s), could we?

Not the G-Man, but I would figure that if a character can get their hands on their sought-after weapon type and have at least Novice-level skill in using said weapon type, they could swap in and out without much hassle.

It depends. Please, PM me or post here what you were thinking of. If a person uses one type of weapon throughout their entire career as a fighter, they will favor it in lieu of others. A warrior is a pragmatist, I guess, what works and has kept them alive will always be good enough and picking up a sword after only ever using an axe will present just another learning curve to conquer, for example.

At least a tier below Expert level skill could warrant the character from swapping the two weapon types. You'll see Jorwen bring out his seax and shield in lieu of his sword if he thinks it'll be appropriate, but only because he's good enough with both weapons to trust himself doing so.

The problem is Leif. Or at least his choice of weapon that I made for him. I don't like two-handed weapons to begin with, and I find it difficult to write about him fighting in battle. Didn't really see a need to PM, not trying to hide anything. But I'm thinking, have him downgrade to a set of daggers, and go two-handed, or use a dagger as his primary weapon, and keep a one-handed sword for back-up. Thoughts?

That would limit Leif a lot. A knife is deadly but its almost impossible to use in a pitched battle due to its obvious limitations. An axe and a knife is a formidable duo if in the right hands though. Plus, two handed weapons are swag. Only dumb peasants don't know how to half-sword and all the cool ways to use a sword. But if you must have Leif use some other type of weapon, it should make sense for a person to choose it. A knife is really only useful if you're in arms reach of another person.

Pulling a knife while having an arming sword as back-up is backwards to me.

A shield really is a game changer. A one handed weapon being wielded by someone is about 1/5th as effective (in real combat terms) as someone else wielding the same thing with a shield. That might be a good compromise. It makes Axes much more effective too, since they're often more of a powerhouse/cleave kind of weapon where a sword is more versatile.

Those big ass rawhide shields that the Norse used are so cleverly designed that it makes me want to marry one. Seriously, look up Roland Warzecha's seminar on the sword and shield.
