  • 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.).

  • Choosing Butterfly Swords by Jeffrey D
    Choosing Butterfly Swords By Jeffrey D. Modell, Esq. and Aaron Cantrell September 6, 2013 Many Chinese martial arts use “Butterfly Swords,” but they are the jewel of the Wing Chun system. Practitioners who reach their level of study are expected to practice intensely, thoughtfully and achieve an understanding that recursively improves their empty hand abilities. Butterfly Swords are a variety of Chinese saber with only one edge sharpened, a blade wider than that of the typical two- edged long sword and a specializeD-Guard. The single edge and wide blade categorize them firmly as “Dao” (“Do” in Cantonese), a term that commonly means knife. Below are a few different words you may want to take note of for the purposes of this article: Hudiedao – Butterfly Swords or Butterfly Knives Baat Jaam Do (& variations on spelling) – Wing Chun Butterfly Swords/Knives (Eight Slash/Cut Swords/Knives) Butterfly swords and especially Baat Jaam Do (“BJD”) are not a one size fits all item. Each style and lineage emphasizes different techniques. The swords must be designed to accommodate and facilitate those movements. Some schools require a weapon based on tradition regardless of whether or not it is appropriate for today’s usage. Individuals develop personal preferences, and each set of swords would ideally be fitted to the specific person’s body. There are a lot of low quality swords on the market. They are not, and do not behave, like the true weapons they seek to imitate. To gain proficiency and understanding of Wing Chun movements, you need BJD that have the weight and feel of the weapons your techniques are designed for.
