Ordonnance of Jean, Duke of Brittany, for the Arming the Common Men in his Duchy, made at Nantes, 20 March 1425 Those who know how to shoot a bow have: bow, quiver, capelline, knife, axe or lead mallet, and be armed with strong jacks equipped with laces, chains, or mail to protect the arms. And those who know not how to shoot a bow be armed with jacks and have capellines, knives, axes or vouges (long-bladed staff weapon) and, with this, pavises of aspen or other such suitable wood as can be found, and the pavises be long enough to cover (the bearer both) high and low. These pavises, harness, and equipment – and their makers – shall be (provided) at the expense of the powerful (i.e. noblemen) who are obliged to keep them in store and guarded in store so that they may aid them in time of need Source: Medieval Arms and Armour: A sourcebook Volume II

[thedawningofthehour]

guys what did we decide the purple glowy weapon that Donnie didn't take was called

[gynoidluddite]

As a result of a years old tumblr joke about trans lesbians and halberds, I have received a shirt as a gift from a friend that is just a long list of names of polearms on light blue. I own a halberd and recently bought a bardiche so I suppose I will just have to get every polearm on that list eventually.

I don't know how easy it's going to be to find a guisarme-voulge though.

[zerojanitor]

the older version of my oc design had a seldom-seen sword as their weapon of choice

but i decided to revisit the idea with a less-generic weapon and now i'm giving Zee the Lemming a Dr. Donez-style enchanted ice pick

[prokopetz]

Spellsword-type character, except they have weirdly specific requirements for which spells can be channelled through which kinds of weapons. There are sword spells, axe spells, spear spells, and at least one spell which can only be cast via a guisarme-voulge. It isn't even an attack.

[probablybadrpgideas]

Seeing as we're assuming TT is basically dnd today, apparently, lets check the most important metric:

Does TT adequately differentiate between a glaive-guisarme and a guisarme-voulge?

(i'm assuming by tt you mean ft since I can't think what tt would be)

Sadly neither made it to the RAW weapons list. I hang my head in shame

[playinghardtolistento]

what about a nice voulge

Favorite polearm?

Introducing The Menavlions, a band of rebels who spearheaded a rebellion against the Kingdom of Spades.

All are survivors of raids by the Spades Army and their Ace, and are taking care of refugees they have saved or escaped to them. They answer to no government and do not accept aid from the other Kingdoms, for they have a disdain for any form of royalty or authority due to their former experiences. They also have all donned new names, based on types of polearms.

(Detailed character explanations below the cut:)

Pike is the head the Menavlions, the one who started it all and considers themselves responsible for everyone else. Constantly angry, aggressive, and vengeful, but does show a soft side to his friends and the refugees. Having lost most of his family, he has become incredibly protective the Menavlion crew, people they now consider to be their new family, and he is more than willing to die for them. Trans male, he/him.

Fauchard, Pike's biological younger sibling, a youngin who's had aspirations to be a performer for the King and Queen, but ever since the latter's sudden reign of tyranny, and having one foot injured and ultimately amputated during their attempts of fleeing, those dreams were dashed and broken. But despite that, she is surprisingly optimistic and cheerful, serving as the light of inspiration and motivation for everyone else. But, she's no idiot. She simply believes that complaining about everything is not the way to go. Trans female, she/her.

Voulge, the self-titled rogue, has always excelled in sneaking about and knowing all the secret routes and hiding spots all over the kingdom, be they natural or self-made. Surprisingly (and disturbingly), they are very well-versed on human anatomy, especially weak points. They always act a bit devious and secretive, as if knowing more than they are letting on. Non-binary, they/them.

Sovnya, the tall towering wall of muscle, was a former soldier who joined because of a last minute change of heart. She actually had captured Pike, and was on the verge of killing him then and there, but after seeing his kept refugees, seeing starving children and elders, she felt a sudden flow of remorse, something she thought she had lost long ago. She's very quiet, almost mute, speaking only in short brief sentences. However, they almost always mean well, they just happen to be in a constant MASSIVE self conflict and doubt. She's also missing one arm after helping Pike and the others escape from Atrocitus. Has a Russian accent. She/her.

Corseque, a nervous wreck of a nurse who joined the cause after seeing too much pain and death, and thinking enough is enough. However, despite her medical expertise and knowledge, she is actually extremely squeamish to blood and gore, but what she couldn't stomach even less so was the suffering that happens around her. She has a fighting spirit, and is in a constant battle between her cowardice and her willpower. …sometimes though, you might find her having a breakdown… and even emptying the contents of her stomach from time to time in an unwilling vomit session. She/her.

Roncone, the Menavlion's spy, was, or is, a priest that tried to work for the King and Queen, but he seems to know something that the others don't, claiming it to be the reason behind his defiance to the monarchy. Powerless to do anything directly, he instead feeds crucial information to the Menavlions, be it plans for raids and attacks, the Ace of Spades' activity, or any civilians whose lives will be endangered and need saving. He/him.

Guisarme, an elderly man who's a skilled armorer, and once thought he was going to die then and there, but after being rescued by the Menavlions, he's since dedicated his life to their cause, and being a former blacksmith, he supplies them with much needed tools, weapons, and armor for any type of problem. He's a bit rustled at times, and may be hard to get the attention of due to his focus at work, sometimes resulting in a very startled response if pushed. He/him.

Trident, a fisherman who lost all of his beloved family, is the de facto chef for the rest of the group. Being rather jaded and traumatized from that whole ordeal, the food he makes tends to be bland and unenthusiastic, but no one can really complain as it's better than eating literally nothing but dirt and gravel. He sometimes apologizes for what he's made, but assures everyone that it's going to keep them going for a bit longer if need be. He/him.

Conversion Corner: Vampire Survivors Spells part 1

Glass Fandango

So recently I’ve gotten into a game called Vampire Survivors, which as the name suggests, pits a plethora of heroes against various monstrous minions where they have to survive as they search for one specific vampire that they are trying to slay. Progression in an individual mission is via experience gems that allow the player access to new weapons and passives, as well as improving the ones you already have. Meanwhile, outside of a session, the progression takes the form of unlocking new characters, new stages, new weapons into the general rotation, and new mechanics.

What this game lacks in the graphical department (sporting mostly 16-bit stylings), it makes up for in sheer robustness of the unlocks. (Still haven’t found that vampire though. They’ve found several other vampires thanks to crossover DLC, but not the vampire they’re looking for.)

With a sense of humor, heavy influence from Castlevania, and such a deep character and item pool, it only makes sense that there would be a plethora of weapons that either are or can be interpreted as spells in the game, so let’s take a look at this batch!

The Glass Fandango is a sort-range weapon favored by the seasonal spirit She-Moon Eeta. It resembles a spear or polearm with a glistening crystal head. When holding still, it slashes in multiple random directions in large triangular swipes or stabs. However, when moving, the rate of attack increases, and every strike fires in the direction of movement, causing it to deal heavy damage to whatever is in front of the wielder as they move.

Additionally, the Glass Fandango has special interactions, dealing extra damage to foes with the “frozen” condition as well as getting a massive boost to reach and area whenever the player picks up an orologion, a powerup that briefly freezes all enemies in time.

What’s more, the Glass Fandango can be evolved into the Celestial Voulge, which has the same attack pattern but can also freeze and crit enemies on it’s own, and causes orologions to also suck the frozen enemies towards the player for easy destruction.

While the full effects of the evolved version are beyond the scope of the conversion we’ll be doing today, the fact that the glass fandango has such power under the effects of a time-stopping item suggests to me that the crystal is neither glass nor ice, but frozen time itself (which is supported by She-Moon’s goal in her adventure mode “To End an Ice Age”, in which she seeks to end an eternal winter, thereby moving time forward.)

So without further ado, let’s see what I can come up with.

Lance of Time

School conjuration; Level cleric/oracle 7, magus 6, psychic 7, sorcerer/wizard 7

Casting

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, S

Effect

Range 0 ft.

Effect conjure a crystalline spear

Duration 1 min./level (D)

Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

Description

You conjure forth a crystalline weapon that appears to be made of ice or glass, but is in fact made of crystallized time. You may attack with the spear-like weapon, including making a full attack action. However, each attack must be against a different target during a full attack. The weapon uses your base attack bonus and your relevant spellcasting modifier to determine the weapons attack bonus, and the weapon deals 2d8 piercing damage or cold damage, your choice. Whenever you attack with this spell, whether it was a single or full attack, subtract 1 minute from the remaining duration.

Additionally, the weapon behave strangely when your own flow of time is changed. On any round that you are affected by a spell or other effect that affects your own personal time, or were affected by one in the last round in the case of instantaneous duration spells (such as haste, slow, time shudder, allies across time, temporal divergence, and so on), the weapon created by this spell gains reach and deals an additional d8 of damage.

Additionally, this spell allows you to deal damage to foes during the effects of a time stop spell you cast. It does not, however, allow you to act during a time stop spell or effect cast by another creature.

====

This was a fun spell to work on. I’m uncertain if the rare interaction with time stop is broken or not, but it’s definitely interesting. I’m eager to convert other such spells as the week progresses!

[sepyana]

Here is a way to cheese Richter right after unlocking the fight. You will need the 'Voulge' from the shop for this since it does dark damage and multi-hits.

Jump behind him with short hops every time he does a whip attack. You need to be fast because he can and does hit you from the back

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

I will die on this hill, the Laguz from Tellious should have had more body hair. I don't care if the GC/wii image compression would make those hair look worse. I want Hairy Mordcai, hairy Voulge, Hairy hunky laguz men.

[thedegu]

Let's make a dnd character together!
