[QUOTE="Videssian, post: 1158715, member: 1990"] A lot of good points have been made.. and Riva is sure eager to teach those dastardly goblins a lesson for that ambush of theirs.. But I have a question about the "ballista".. What stats are you using for the ballista? How much damage does it do, how is it reloaded, how quickly can it be reloaded, and what strength does it take to use? How quickly can it be fired? How heavy is the whole apparatus? Since a pair of winches (if I recall correctly) are being used, and goblins are (usually) much weaker than 10 Str, how long would it actually take to prep it for fire? And more importantly, who taught them how? How heavy is it? Does it have wheels to help them reposition? Riva wonders if he has finally found a missile weapon worthy of his use? *grins* Is this technically just a large sized crossbow on a tripod? We know it fires standard javelins, though the damage is greater... (yes, I am a dwarf, and this is my portable artillery!) *laughs* [/QUOTE]
