Two Weapons / Multiple Attack

[Choinski, Burton]

||>I use a general rule of thumb of 1 phase to reload bows.

||1 phase (3 seconds) or one Turn (12 Seconds)?


I meant just what I said...one phase. Learn the terminology, man! :}
Yes, 3 seconds (one phase) to reload a bow.

||I actully meant 3 max per turn. Which is less than what you said which
would be at 4 shots per turn.

Okay, which only puts you 50% above in firepower then what I use (I can't
remember what the books have for bows...it may be 1 per phase for all I
know).

||Hahaha. That would be a silly sight, you're right, but I think 3 shots per
turn at 6D10 is about equal to a large Barbarian using the modified two
handed weapon skill (sb*wsb) with multiple attack, or an assassin that
wields 2 weapons and blows in an incredable amount of damage. It crreates a
nice balance of warrior characters.

The advantage that bows have is stand-off damage capacity.  If you run your
dumb creature encounters like dumb creatures, they will just charge and take
it.

I honestly don't think the added complexity is really needed.  Missile
weapons are quite deadly as it is.


||>Technically, you should subtract 11 from the stats (2d10 average = 11).
Are
||>these adds in ADDITION to the ones on the table (i.e. you double the
racial

||>modifier)

||You may be right about 11, perhaps I will study that one out.

||Nope, not in addition. They act as a replacement for the first four
(physical) characteristics.

Unless I am missing something, the physical stats in the book should be
based on a roll of 11, plus the racial modifiers in book 1.
