End Of All Things Pub - OOC Thread

Swords get dull without technique. I am guessing that Centurion's chara is a novice swordsman in his early twenties unless he puts him up as being a projidy.
 
Also, don't let your guy get in close quarters with Eric xD  That is basically his specialty, because he has actually has legitimate training doing with swords and such.

Ummm, but you don't control the natural process of fire? Fire needs fuel. Apartments are huge=loads of fuel=no control. Fire is reckless, and would be an awful weapon except for sadistic pricks TBH


HEMA isn't unarmed combat. It's medieval european weapon combat. Eric is way too scared to attack a zombie barefisted.

Fire also needs to spread through contact mostly to get hot enough. So just don't burn down anything to close to other things. Also my character is a sadistic prick I had that in his personality ??
 
No. He's not a prodigy. He's just been training since fifteen is, and it says nineteen on his profile. I would say adept, but nowhere near master.

Swords don't need to be sharp to brake the skull of an unarmored opponent. Unlike humans who bleed to death the only way to kill a zombie is to brake the skull. My character carries a mace on him because its more effective then a sword but the sword is an easy backstory thing
 
No. You need to destroy the brain, and I actually do HEMA, and a dull sword is shit for many things. A dull sword isn't useful, and often times maces were made of cast iron so one could repair them easily.

Well if you hit a zombie hard enough to brake the skull odds are you hit it hard enough to kill the thing since the skull will go brittle after a while. And I never said it was extremely useful only they didn't need to be sharp to brake the skull of unarmored opponents (I'm talking more of the larger ones such as greatswords and the heavier one handed ones rather then ones like katanas or foils)
 
The heavier swords still only weigh 5 lbs max. I still get what you're saying, but you're wrong. It'll fracture, sure, but it isn't breaking any skulls.
 
Well I be dammed they did weigh little... Any respect I had for knights now goes down a bit... I thought they weighed so much more... But I know the claymore is more then enough to brake a skull in half blunt. The amount of force that thing makes at the middle of that 5.5 pound hunk of steel is amazing
 
True. It's all subjective really, as I'm not really a user of larger swords. Still, you have to respect those knights for fighting for like 12 hours on end sometimes.

Lol I never said I didn't respect them just that my respect for them went down a bit... I respect the longbowmen more. They had to practice so long for there craft and didn't gain the same capture immunity of the knights (who got Ransomed)
 
Don't like the crossbow over the longbow, took less time to train so that's good, but longbowmen had better rate of fire, range, and sometimes penetration if they were English longbowmen
 
The longbowmen took lifetimes to train, and so it was economically more advantageous to use crossbows, and I like the way they look better.
 
Ya but remember the English longbowmen would always utterly destroy the French crossbowmen with every engagement. Not to mention the longbow had less upkeep and was easy to maintain since it didn't have any mechanisms to fire like the crossbow had. (In one battle the French lost because an early battle drizzle left there crossbow men unable to shoot far enough to hit the English archers. While the English were able to replace the strings with ease.)
 
ah... saw that a few years ago in greatest warriors or whatever that show was called.


edit: I atleast I think that's what i remember.

Yes, but money talks, and the crossbow won out. Then muskets won out, etc. The heavy crossbow rivaled longbows as well.

Ya but the last ever kill by a bow in battle was a long bow. Poor poor Nazis never heard it coming XP. Also the rate of fire would still let them win in the case of blocks of troops (say 120 crossbow men vs 120 longbowmen. Also the heavy crossbow took even longer to reload)
