  • Velata Kitchenware FAQ
    Velata Kitchenware FAQ CERAMIC KNIVES Why use Velata Ceramic Knives? Velata Ceramic Knives are perfect for slicing, dicing and chopping your favorite fruits, vegetables and boneless meats and fish. Velata Ceramic Knives: • Are crafted from innovative ceramic materials which can be sharpened to a finer point — and stay sharper longer — than • steel knives. • Do not leave a metallic taste or smell or discolor food. • Feature ergonomic, lightweight plastic handles for precise control. • Are perfectly balanced and uniquely designed to keep the blade from touching the counter when lying on their side. Ceramic knives are intended to complement, but not replace, your steel knives, which should still be used for boning, carving, prying or cutting hard cheeses and frozen foods. What are Velata Ceramic Knives made of? They are made of Zirconium Oxide. Are ceramic knives more likely to break? What if I drop them? Ceramic knives are very durable; however, you can chip the edge if you cut into bones. You can also break the tip or snap the handle if you use it to pry or twist. Damage can occur if a ceramic knife is dropped on a hard surface. How do you clean ceramic knives? Are they dishwasher-safe? Ceramic knives should be hand-washed and wiped dry with a soft cloth. For blade discoloration, use a mild bleach solution on the blade only. We do not recommend placing ceramic knives in the dishwasher. What are the uses for each of the Velata Ceramic Knives? • Nakiri Knife: Slice and dice the most delicate vegetables without damaging their texture.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).
