Gauntlets and Bows

[Boone]

Can a bow be fired while whereing a gauntlet ?

How about a spiked gauntlet?

 

[Mr Fidgit]

i don't see why not

(most of the medium and heavy armors come with gauntlets, and there's nothing saying they can't use a bow...)

i don't think the spikes would affect this either...(IMO)

 

[Sejs]

Yes.

What Mr Fidgit and Sejs said.

 

[Fade]

From a RL point of view, accurately firing a bow while wearing a lobstered gauntlet on the right hand would be very difficult, since you can grip the string as precisely.

 

[Sejs]

I totally concur, Fade. And that's exactly what the Armor Prof (med) and (heavy) are there to reflect ~ training that you've undergone to be able to work around that.

If you're not prof. with said armor you'll have the ACP as a penality to your attacks.

Agreed, and Sejs I think presents a very good argument. Of course, from a RL point of view, magic goes out of the window

 

[Fade]

That makes sense. So yes from both rules and 'real' perspective.
