I recall a camp fire story I heard of a work around to this rule (at a campout after many drinks). The person requiring the repair would lay down and the fighter would begin repairing the armor. The person wearing the armor would yell and hollar as though someone was hitting them with a hammer (whic...

Constructed this in that same fashion http://www.darkon.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=272 Rolled on the core before it hit check in. I am working on another designed based off of Edhellens axes, essentially the same idea, but instead of doing the wrap around the core itself, you build a thin c...

But one can one expect from a "warrior" that can't even be depended on to maintain a base allegiance to a country? Perhaps you should have taken more time to choose your words before allowing them to dribble onto your bib. I have fought with one country since arriving at the shores of Dar...

Perhaps it would have been different had King Cailen taken his crown in the ring, as did the others that preceded him. Perhaps I could have overlooked his devotion to a deity diametrically opposed to mine own. Sadly, we will never know. Things are such as they shall remain, and we merely respond to...

I had heard at one point that we used to have events featuring cardboard shields.

Are there any plans in the next year to have an event day with them?

It cannot be too hard to construct a safe to play with shield out of cardboard. Sounds pretty fun as well.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

My apologies for having to leave before your crowning. Unfourtunately a new house and school had to come first.

"Ravenswrath deals magic white damage, however, in the hands of a Fighter, the axe destroys shields with three direct blows (two for bucklers) and allows its wielder to stand tall against giant-sized players and creatures. Any class capable of using white axes may use Ravenswrath." RavensW...

Calien: P.s. if you allow one handed axes to break shields even in 5+ swings ... I would hate to see the result shields would start being usless how many fights have you been in that you managed to block or hit the other players shield with a one hand weapon ... it would become like a drum feast mo...

!!! Like the reduction proposal, this will only apply if shield break becomes a fighter/cav ability!!! I was thinking this could be done in the following fashion: 1 handed Axes(White) Will cause a shield or buckler to break in five solid hits. A shield previously struck by a single handed axe will s...

Well then, guess I will withdraw this suggestion.

Awesome friggin event! To my knowledge everyone was taking their shots and everything went smoothly. It was great seeing so many people out there for the war and even better trying to hit them with my spear I wanted to thank everyone for fighting hard and not taking the results too seriously. And I ...

This isn't wrong. Plenty of countries reach out to mercs in times of war. This is a win win. We get more people on the field for the crown war and introduce a bunch more players who already enjoy foam fighting to our game.

[quote="HRH Malkin] To put it a different way... Why should we wear surcoats, or wear armbands when armor is hidden? These are mechanics that we force to be visible... yet for some reason people seem to feel that knowing the guy can break your shield should be a secret...? That logic makes zero...

So you want to add some of the issues we have with armor in our current system to shields?? We could always parallel Inox's armor proposal. Shield have 4 hit points. Bucklers have 2 hit points. One handed axes deal 1 pt to shields 2 handed axes deal 2 pt to shields. Calien, I am not trying to turn ...

I want to agree that allowing us to wear shields on our backs wouldn't be abused, but then I remember buckler armor...

Fingers, I read the following: "Shields that fasten to the arm, leaving the hand free, are called bucklers." "this includes mages shields; if they follow the specifications, outlined in the rulebook, for bucklers" (pg 19) As such: If the mage has not strapped the shield to his/he...

Branching off of the other sb topic to avoid any confusion in that thread. !!!!!This would be proposed only if shield breaking is approved as a fighter/cavalier ability rather than a weapon attribute.!!!!! I would like to help bring more shield breaking to darkon by extending shielding breaking to o...

I don't see why bucklers would have the same ability to withstand these weapons. How does the following sound: Shields - Four hits to break from a white weapon (swords excluded) in the hands of a fighter - Two hits to break from a black weapon (swords excluded) in the hands of a fighter Bucklers - T...

I dunno, makes sense to me

I don't think I want to see anymore types of headband armor either way

I agree that white axes should be added to the list of weapons a fighter can use to shield break. Maybe we could have it break in four instead of three or something to weaken it a little. It would give the single handed axe more purpose and allow fighters on the shield wall to be more effective with...

Are you talking about something like a "Monk Spade"?

So if I am reading this right, if I capture a person during the battle it might still count.....

Cool!

Thank you for the prompt reply
