note 1: i was going to put an option for no weapon, instead wielding magic but i feel like that option would be too appetising and i do want weapon stats!!!

note 2: i KNOW maces & morningstars are not the same (same with spear & javelin) but there's so many weapons and they are similar enough ok !!!

note 3: tell me what you would name your weapon >:0

EDIT HI FOLKS who reblogged or voted in this this silly post i made in 3 minutes! over 30k votes (!!) means that if just over a tenth of people who voted donated $5 to this (vetted, donation protected) fundraiser, maryam and her family would meet their goal TODAY. i've been following this one through operation olive branch for months, and donations have stagnated. please consider giving what you have.

Was armour really as useless as it is in fantasy?

Remember, if armour was easily pierced, it wouldn’t be worth the cost and weight, but if it was NEVER pierced, it wouldn’t have been worth the effort and cost of making and training with weapons. The truth must always lie somewhere in the middle.

But for fiction, sometimes the story is more important!

The whole greatsword scabbard discourse gets me because, like, we know the answer to this one. We've got primary sources talking about it. The answer to "how do you carry a weapon that's more than a yard or so long" is:

If you don't think you'll need it on short notice and you're lucky enough to have access to a wagon or other means of transport, you don't carry it at all – you stick it in the wagon.

If you do think you'll need it on short notice or you don't have a wagon, you just carry it in your hands everywhere you go and constantly complain about how dumb and awkward that is, unless you're a professional mercenary and/or independently wealthy, in which case you hire a guy to follow you around carrying it in his hands everywhere you go and he complains about how dumb and awkward that is (though probably not while you're listening).

Yummy sweet weapons

In a way, fighting up close and personal, getting physical with your enemy and dancing with death is probably worse than just shooting something from a distance

So that style of fighting might push some people to be more civilized and not resort to violence if they can avoid it

Although it will be preferable to some, as people like all sorts of things, unfortunately including hurting people

Idk man but his triggered something in me about human nature and how something made for or related to violence can be more or less “civilized”

obi-wan kenobi’s spiel about a ‘civilised weapon’ to luke was actually obes trying to gas up his kyber crystal after years of leaving it in a sandy old box with only anakin’s crystal for company, buried out in the desert

obi-wan is like ‘I’m sorry baby you’re the specialest most sexy weapon in the galaxy! I promise! blasters suck, and they’re ugly; I didn’t even like using them for the last ten years, I sweaaaaar’
