EN Arsenal: It's ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

[JoeGKushner]

You get started on that, and I'll make sure that between Hound and I we come up with some original material. Heck, if you have an idea for a basic concept of prestige class or feat chains or magic items, let us know, and we'll work on it!

And here's the material!

But don't worry, I'm sure that polearms will get their own book in the series in time.

Books! Plural!

I wanna see an EN Arsenal: Guisarme-Voulge, and an EN Arsenal: Fauchard-Fork, and an EN Arsenal: Bill-Guisarme!

And let's not forget the Lucerne Hammer!

[HellHound]

Alright. Hypersmurf, I'm glad to see you volunteering to write FOUR whole books for the series.

email me for the password into the Arsenal writers' forum for more instructions, your due date on E.N.Arsenal - Guisarme-Voulge is July 29th. I'll give you some breathing time after that as the artist won't have the Fouchard-Fork illos ready until August 12th, so that's your deadline for Fouchard-Fork and Bill-Guisarme.

Then you can have until September 1st to finish the Lucerne Hammer.

Thanks!

Spears is curently covering (correct me if I'm wrong, Joe) Spears from Short to Long as well as javelins and atlatls. I don't believe it will be covering lances as lances open up a whole other jar of beans with jousting and so on.

Correct, I'm only doing longish pointy things you can jab at stuff or throw at stuff. My only crossover into polearm territory is that spears can be set against a charge and I'll have some material on that which will probably end up in the polearm book once someone gets around to it.

Wouldnt En Arsenal: Polearms be a better name for that book?

I could drift into polearms but lances seems far afield. It's a strictly mounted weapon. See there three are things you can do with long pointy weapons. You can charge with them, Receive charges with them, or Throw them at folk and then rush up and attack with a melee weapon. I'm focused on the weapons that are thrown with a little talk about receiving charges. Polearms are fully the charge receiving weapons but they also assume formations. You don't go out on the field as the sole guisarme-glaive wielder. You bring along 20 of your fellow guisarme-glaivers to help you stop a cavalry charge. It's the reliance on groups part that I'm not doing. And Lances (those "charge with" weapons) are a completely different discipline.

Also I've been naming the book ENArsenal: Spears and Javelins. Not just ENA:Spears. Tacking on javelins should inform the buyer that I'm dealing with the shorter long pointy weapons.

Arsenal: Spiked Chain comment:

It's pretty typical for spells that might be necromancy, if in question, to be necromancy. In that vein, it seems like Vertebrate Chain should be a necromancy spell.

Not that it matters for any reason that I can think of, except, perhaps, for necromancy specialists.
