I think more knights died of thirst than combat. |
Bec de Corbin: This is a 6-foot-long pole axe with
a hammer head attached to the top. Opposite the hammer head is a fluke, beak or
pick and mounted on top is a spike. The bec de corbin was designed for rending,
tearing, and piercing armor to more effectively injure well armored opponents.
It weighs about 4lbs and overall length (with spike) is about 7 feet. This is a
common weapon for medieval Europe. (I don't know why this text is in white.)
Type: Polearm; Weight: 4 lbs; Length: 7 ft; Attack Type: Blunt, pierce; Cost: 12gp;
Damage Simple: 1d6; Damage Advanced: 1d6; Durability: 20; Breakage: 5
Range: 0ft; Special: Reach, rend armor, pierce armor; Strength to Wield: 9; Defense: 1
I am not certain that all that information will make it to the final draft. Not sure if it is necessary. I will note that there is a column Simple Damage. The simple damage column is the baseline this is all you really need to know to use this weapon, the rest one can take or leave. A picture will be included for each weapon so that it is easier to visualize the character.
Comments
for everyone, but some ((myself included)) would like the
option for the added crunch.
Any chance you can add a detail for each item that says the approximate year it was introduced? This would really help with managing campaigns that are, say, Early Medieval rather than Early Renaissance. Thanks!
