Clubs and Maces/Hammers?

The weapon stats are simple enough to fudge what you need. As to importing stuff from BW, the weapon stats and damage system are completely incompatible between the two games.

Where’s the eye-rolley emoticon when you need it?

Here you go, Colin:

Mace/Club
+1D to Maneuver
+1D vs. Defend
Length: Normal

Heh, now I see what folks meant when they told me you were brusque. As for where the roll-eyes smilie is, it’s probably in the bin next to your general tact. :wink:

cheers!

Thanks, mate, much appreciated.

Take it easy and read that as friendly, man. It’s just New York friendly, which means that when you nitpick with your friends, they will roll their eyes at you. My brother rolled his eyes at me the other day when I explained how as near as I could tell, standing on another player’s shoulders was a perfectly legitimate tactic in basketball.

These boards really are pretty friendly, which means it’s safe to roll your eyes as long as the discussion isn’t already heated because we’re assumed to be friends (You’re a Mouse Guard player, right? So you’re very likely to be a good guy) and when your friends roll their eyes it’s a poke in the ribs and an acknowledgment of human foibles, not a hostile gesture.

Also, David’s non-comic Mouse Guard art includes a lot of stuff like riding ducks that may not ever make it into the comic, so pointing to non-comic art as support for a point about canon is a bit shaky.

What’s your rationale? I thought the axe stats were a good fit. A weapon that adds dice on Defend and Maneuver strikes me as quite agile. I don’t imagine a mace being that quick and versatile.

It’s adds a die against an opponent’s Defend, not your own. I guess it could probably be limited to just attacks when your opponent is defending (like the bow).

Or you could just go ahead and take the sword stats and call it a mace or hammer or whatever. :wink:

Ah, thanks for the reading help.

As to the Maneuver bonus, I thought it just cleaner than giving bonuses separately to Impede or Disarm, although looking at the list it doesn’t seem like non-ranged weapons besides the spear give a full maneuver bonus. In any case, don’t treat those stats as official in any way.

Don’t worry, I wasn’t really offended, hence the winking smilie. As an Englishman who also has a rep for being really friendly and polite, anything in the New York vein of communication would be considered brusque by me because it’s utterly alien to my own experiences and outlook. Doesn’t mean I’d be offended though (given my job and life experiences, it’d take a lot more than that to really bother me). If I thought Luke was honestly being a twit of the first magnitude, I wouldn’t have even responded; I would’ve simply walked, and certainly wouldn’t have bothered ribbing him in return, least of all in a joking manner. Hope that clarifies things. :slight_smile:

cheers!

Luke Crane is the Dr. House of RPG gaming.

Riding ducks? Fuck canon; man, I want riding ducks.
And obviously I want ducklances for use while riding ducks.

Hmmm, Ducklance… to the hacks forum!!1

I hear he chews dice constantly.

No, dice he throws out the window - it’s the lead figurines he chews constantly. That’s what makes him kuh-raaaaaaaazy!

Fanboys, fanboys, whatcha gonna do…

Please keep posts on topic!

Yeah, that would be my fault. As an Englishman who is frequently communicating in the Derek and Clive vein, I have trained BWHQ to expect certain things from Brits.

There will be future characters with both maces and hammers, so it’s something Luke and I can work in for the future

Thanks for the word on this, David.
