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.). -

The most often asked question is “Where do I start?” My answer is usually the same, buy some blades and learn to put handles on them. I have always felt there was too much emphasis put on the blade and not enough on the handle. The handle is, after all, half of the knife. I have always had a saying, you can take a $20.00 handle and a $200.00 blade and have a $20.00 knife when you are done; or you can take a $200.00 handle and a $20.00 blade and have a $20.00 knife when done. So, let me explain. The a piece of art, with flow and beauty, waiting to be picked up blade and the handle should have equal values in the knife, and caressed. O.K. enough of that, let’s get back to the handles. not monetary values, but workmanship values. If the blade When I first started making knives, I was getting blades, usually is perfect and you do a crappy job on the handle, the handle from older knives when the original handle had worn out or can de-value the blade; and the same goes if you have a great broken. -
Modeling of the BOF Tapping Process: the Reactions in the Ladle
ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Modeling of the BOF Tapping Process: The Reactions in the Ladle DALI YOU, CHRISTIAN BERNHARD, PETER MAYER, JOSEF FASCHING, GERALD KLOESCH, ROMAN RO¨ SSLER, and RAINER AMMER A tapping process model of the steel from the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) addressing the reactions in the ladle is proposed. In the model, the effective equilibrium reaction zone (EERZ) method is applied to describe the steel/slag interfacial reaction. The equilibrium reactions in the bulk steel (steel/inclusion/lining wear) and slag (liquid slag/slag additions/lining wear) are considered. The thermodynamic library—ChemApp is used to perform thermodynamic calculation. The process model includes most of the actions during the tapping process, such as the additions of ferroalloys and slag formers, carryover slag entrapment and air pick-up. After the calibration by the industrial measurements of two plants, the model is applied to study the influence of the amount of carryover slag. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11663-021-02153-2 Ó The Author(s) 2021 I.

Now at Instituto Politécnico Nacional-ESIQIE, Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Ed. 7, UPALM, Col. Lindavista, D.F. CP 07738 Mexico. (Received on September 27, 2011; accepted on November 24, 2011) A multiphase numerical analysis focused on flow dynamics and particle trajectories during steel tapping operations was developed. The numerical results indicate that lighter additions than steel (ferrosilicon and aluminum) are independent from bath level, fall height and flow dynamics of the melt. Neutral buoyant additions (Fe–Mn) are strongly dependent on fluid dynamics of the melt and bath height. Denser additions (like Fe–Nb) yields long residence time inside the melt before first emerging to the bath surface. However, when this ferroalloy is added at high bath levels, close to the end of tapping, the particles remain in the corner formed by the bottom and the wall of the ladle during long times prolonging their melting rates. -
