I was thinking.... What if during a modern-setting campaign, if somebody chooses cavalier (preferably musketeer), could he use a motorcycle, bike, or a ATV as his "steed"? If so, would there be any benefits or penalties?

Please read before you reply: If you follow my posts, you know I enjoy adding new weapons into the game (like the Claymore and the irish blackthorn). If you follow these posts, you probably know I have made a post in the past about baseball bats...

Thats a fine class and all, but it seems to only qualify as an airbender. I could use that, but I also need stuff on firebenders, earthbenders and waterbenders.

I always assumed rapiers were piercing and slashing, but after checking up on it, you are right about that, but it only proves what I was saying. A rapier is a blade, but it isn't used to slash and hack, its thrusted, piercing your enemy. Like I said, if its over a long (over a quarter and a...

Hey, I've been wanting to have an avatar themed setting in my group for a while. The only thing holding me back is that I can't find classes that fit the benders from the show. Is there any sources on how to treat anything similar? Preferably from paizo or another similar company. I heard...

To me, piercing is only piercing if its at a small point. A typical arrow is a piercing arrow, bu if you had one with the guillotine end, thats slashing, because its in a bigger area. Thats how I would treat it in-game and how I would think of it irl.

We all have good points here, but I think this video will give us more knowledge onto this subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cJ-EhLjjxI

Well, I never considered making it a personal weapon, let's try to imagine that. But lets remember, my party is not made up of unrealistic comic book characters, so that's definitely a no-go. This weapon is surely not for personal use, as Derren pointed out, it is usually horse drawn, it's...

Ok, I thought up some rules on how a gatling gun might work in Pathfinder for your wild west campaigns and what not. Gatling gun: Deals 1d10 damage capacity: 1d12+ Rules: A gatling gun uses a chain fed ammunition supply, requiring the user to crank the lever to shoot the gun. There are...

Personally I thought that was overly harsh, I don't see why a slashing arrow would actually lose accuracy, I haven't ever shot one before, I could find a video for reference. I also don't see how it would lose its effectiveness? What advantage does piercing have over slashing?

What about making a custom arrow? They have a few arrow types I know of, even smoke arrows, why not make your own? Guillotine arrow: An arrow made for slicing damage, in the shape of a guillotine as its head. Acts in every way as a common arrow but trades piercing damage for slicing damage...

I know, I made a custom weapon :Claymore with the same thing on it, it also had blocking.

I see, I guess most of that's mostly hype then. Didn't expect "Hype" to be a thing in the blacksmithing community. I still feel its the superior sword, but I know now that's its purely an opinion of taste now. I did have an idea for a homebrew though. Shouldn't a katana use your dex modifier...

I see, since you do this for a living I don almost always take your word for it, it was just in this case that it didn't match my previous research on the subject, though you have more credentials than me so I stand by. I have been studying blacksmithing as a hobby lately, and I use my...

Really? I heard that beaches of pure iron were available to them? I don't know much about the quality of iron sand, all I know is that it is available in Japan.

It is sharper, the steel is tempered so the edge of the blade is harder, and harder steel is the sharper an edge it can keep. It's the same concept as a titanium knife can be sharper than one made of bronze. I have put a good amount of time studying Katanas, as they are my favorite of weapons...

Just my opinion I guess. The blade is sharper (The edge of a sword is made from hard steel while the back of the sword is made of soft steel), uses dexterity rather than strength to use, it's curve allows it to be more likely to start with little touching you at first making the the force of...

I just looked it up in my Ultimate equipment, and it says it does d8, I thought it did d10, same as a bastard sword. I know the bastard sword is bigger than the katana, but I always thought the katana was more "deadlier", and I know the katana has "Deadly" special ability, but that only comes...
