Um Ameriganastan you may need to edit your last post, Eric should have winked at Astra, unless you are breaking the fourth wall.

Right.

You younguns aren't prepared to try Eric's weed. The fact that he can talk after a few puffs is quite a feat.

Now to see what their reactions are upon discovering a darkness elemental and a daemoness in the group... and the potential for the matriarch of hell herself to show up and give Erosen a little pick-me-up pill. If you guys didn't believe him before when he mentioned that he received his abilities to speak from her before, then you'd likely believe it the second time around.

My guy will know about them as his senses are very attuned to elemental phenomena, he wont really react accept by moving a hand towards a weapon.

[The Grey Wolf]

"What's with the fascination with swords?"

Phallic connotations.

You wouldn't understand.

[Kassaran]

To be fair, swords were a weapon of nobility because nobility could afford to learn how to use them properly. To unskilled warriors and peasant armies, they're near useless and axes/hammers or any other hafted weapon or polearm is deadly enough for the purpose of inflicting your two cents before getting taken out in the fuckfest that were ancient battles.

Moving along, we come to my desire to have Erosen grab one of those swords, mostly because he'll likely understand by now that they attune to the natural element you have. In that case, Const, will it turn into a Nature Elemental's weapon rending it useless to him or will it attune to his current Dark Element?

They already ran into Lisoette but she's keeping her horns magically concealed and her wings and tail tucked in.

Well he doesn't have much Dark magic in him at the moment anyway for the blade to recognise, right?

Polearms were the weapon of choice. That increased striking distance was huge, especially against people on horseback. Guisarmes were quite nice in that regard due to the hook. Pretty much the only sword that was actually useful in real combat was the Scottish claymore, and that's because it wasn't like regular swords. It was long and blunt. They didn't bother sharpening it because there was no point. It didn't need to be sharp to smash polearms and crack skulls. If D&D were more realistic, the greatsword would do bludgeoning damage.

No one weapon was ever the best singularly, every weapon has pros and cons, except for the light saber as it is simply BA. Lol

U are both pretty, so drop it, please.

Rachael's problem with her sword-hate is that she doesn't realise Gaiaca runs on Rule of Cool, and that swords are just cooler than axes.

She might ne surprised when she sees what Rahdon can do with his swords and magic.
How would the attuned swprds react to Rahdon with his dual elements?

Especially snarky, talking swords that used to be angelles.

I hadn't put as much thought into how Metal enchantments would affect weapons. I suppose they'd make them super ultra sharp, perhaps. Earth gets lots of wee rocks to hover around the weapon and provide additional attack power or something. I'm not sure how to have them react in unison.

Oh yeah, I should have Aldry ask Eric about that. Everyone else could hear her, right?

[Ameriganastan]

[Kassaran]

Oh shit. Cool. Now we all can kind of talk to her and hear her?

Fair enough. On that note, how much longer until we remedy that issue by the way?

[Ameriganastan]

I figured that was obvious by now. But yes.

[Kassaran]

I didn't realize she was audible to all, I thought she was only audible to Eric. Well, she was at one point, right?

I don't think now's a good time to have his patron show up. You could ask Veryll where he put the corpses of the dark knights, then go leech off some dark magic from them and their weapons.

Oh yeah, I should have Aldry ask Eric about that. Everyone else could hear her, right?

Yeah.

Very well.

[Ameriganastan]

At one point, yeah. Then I got bored and decided to make her audible.

The sword is sharper and lighter, as well as being durround by the equvalent of many bits of obsidian. That sound ok, not that rahdon would use them anyways, he might reshape them into different weapons, but not much beyond that probably.

The cavalry saber is from the 19th century. It's not relevant to a discussion on Medieval combat.
The katana was the ultimate example of status symbol. In actual combat, it was next to worthless. The folded method of it's creation lead to it being sharp but very fragile. They could easily chip or snap. That's why samurai would usually use bows or polearms. Katanas would only come out in duels. They were like the Japanese equivalent of a jousting lance, basically.
The Vikings used pattern welding for decorative purposes, hence the name pattern welding.
