I've always been a fan of anime series, Claymore favourite being Berserk. I tend to focus a lot on the pacing Claymore the built tension when I watch anime, and Berserk is The master of pacing. Another thing I tend to focus on Claymore character development and overall sentimentality of the show. Many anime characters are quite over-the-top, a major let-down for me. As are many scenes in anime. Claymore succeeds on most levels. The pacing is some of the greatest I've ever seen, and the inclusion of ranked characters just adds to the excitement. It's Claymore interesting to see who's got the higher rank. Furthermore, you really start caring for the characters and picking out your favorites mine being no. The show only fails on a few levels. You're in Claymore a lot of melodramatic scenes, and the protagonist's male friend, Rocky, is just another annoying Claymore who cries more than good is. It's Claymore worse than so many other animes and gets better halfway through. The second, and final, major letdown is Claymore anti-climatic ending. There is an Claymore battle, but the way it ends after the battle is simply not good enough. It feels unfinished, ill and way too sentimental and moral for a show of this kind it might have something to do with the continuing issues of the manga. However, you're in for a treat. And you're not going to Claymore to put this show Claymore, before it's ended. Looking for something Claymore watch? Choose an adventure below and discover your next favorite movie or TV show.

Claymore - Wikipedia The former is characterised as having a cross hilt Claymore forward-sloping quillons with quatrefoil terminations and was in use from the 15th to 17th centuries. The word claymore was first Claymore in reference to swords in the Claymore century in Scotland and parts of England to refer to basket-hilted swords. After the Acts of Union in when Scottish and English regiments were integrated together, the swords were seen as a mark of distinction Claymore Scottish officers over Claymore more slender sabres used by Claymore English contemporaries: a symbol of physical strength and prowess, and a link to the historic Highland way of Claymore. Countering this view, Claymore Wagner Claymore Christopher Thompson argue that the term "claymore" was applied first to the basket-hilted broadsword, and then to all Scottish Claymore. They provide quotations that are earlier than those given above in support of its Claymore to refer to a basket-hilted broadsword and targe: "a strong handsome target, with a sharp pointed steel, of above half an ell in length, screw'd into the navel of it, on his left arm, a sturdy claymore by his side" pamphlet. They Claymore note its use as a battle-cry Claymore early as According Claymore the Gaelic Dictionary by R. The two-handed claymore Claymore a large sword used in the late Medieval and early modern periods. It was used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from circa to It was somewhat longer than other two-handed swords of the era. The English did use swords similar to the Claymore during the renaissance called Claymore greatsword. The lobed pommels on earlier swords were inspired by the Viking style. The spatulate swellings were later frequently made in a quatrefoil design. For instance, in Thomas Pennant described a sword seen on his visit to Raasay as: "an unwieldy weapon, two inches broad, doubly edged; the length of the blade three feet seven inches; of the Claymore, fourteen inches; of a Claymore transverse guard, one foot; the weight six pounds and a half. It is believed Claymore have been wielded by a member of Clan Maxwell circa the 15th century. Fairly uniform in style, the sword was Claymore with a wheel pommel often capped by a crescent-shaped nut and a guard with straight, forward-sloping arms ending in quatrefoilsand langets running Claymore the centre of the blade from the guard. It had a crossguard that consisted of two Claymore arms and two large, round, concave plates that protected the foregrip. It was so named because the round guards resembled an open clam.

  • 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 HISTORY of the RAPIER the Culture and Construction of the Renaissance Weapon
    THE HISTORY OF THE RAPIER The Culture and Construction of the Renaissance Weapon An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Robert Correa Andrew Daudelin Mark Fitzgibbon Eric Ostrom 15 October 2013 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Mr. Tom H. Thomsen Abstract At the end of the Middle Ages, weapons began to be used not only on the battlefield, but for civilian use as well. The rapier became the essential self-defense weapon of the “Renaissance man.” This project explores the evolution and manufacture of the rapier through history. This cut-and-thrust sword was manufactured by artisans who had to develop new methods of crafting metal in order to make the thin, light blade both durable and ductile. To study this process, a rapier was constructed using classical methods. Upon the completion of the replica, its material properties were studied using a surface microscope. The project also included contributing to the WPI Arms and Armor website. ii Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Professor Diana Lados and Mr. Tom Thomsen for creating the Evolution of Arms and Armor Interactive Qualifying Project. Their guidance and assistance were invaluable throughout the project experience. A huge thanks also to Josh Swalec and Ferromorphics Blacksmithing. The expertise of Mr. Swalec and others at Ferromorphics was key to learning smithing techniques and using them to construct a replica of a rapier in the Renaissance style. Mr. Swalec opened the doors of his shop to us and was welcoming every step of the way.

  • Types of Chinese Swords There Are Generally Five Types of Swords in Chinese History, They Are Jian, Zhanmadao, Liuyedao, Wodao and Yanmaodao
    Types of Chinese Swords There are generally five types of swords in Chinese history, they are Jian, Zhanmadao, Liuyedao, Wodao and Yanmaodao. The jian is a double-edged straight sword used during the last 2,500 years in China. The first Chinese sources that mention the jian date to the 7th century BC during the Spring and Autumn Period;one of the earliest specimens being the Sword of Goujian. Historical one-handed versions have blades varying from 45 to 80 cm (17.7 to 31.5 inches) in length. The weight of an average sword of 70- centimeter (28-inch) blade-length would be in a range of approximately 700 to 900 grams (1.5 to 2 pounds). There are also larger two-handed versions used for training by many styles of Chinese martial arts. The zhanmadao is a saber with a single long broad blade, and a long handle suitable for two-handed use. Dating to 1072, it was used as an anti-cavalry weapon. This is mentioned in the "Wu Jing Zong Yao Song Military Manual" from 1072. Surviving examples include a sword that might resemble a nagamaki in construction; it had a wrapped handle 37 cm long making it easy to grip with two hands. The blade was 114 centimetres long and very straight with a slight curve in the last half. The liuye dao, or "willow leaf saber", is a type of Dao that was commonly used as a military sidearm for both cavalry and infantry during the Ming and Qing dynasties. This weapon features a moderate curve along the length of the blade.

In The Eye Of The Selector: Ancient-Style Prose Anthologies In Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) China Abstract The rapid growth of woodblock printing in sixteenth-century China not only transformed wenzhang (“literature”) as a category of knowledge, it also transformed the communities in which knowledge of wenzhang circulated. Twentieth-century scholarship described this event as an expansion of the non-elite reading public coinciding with the ascent of vernacular fiction and performance literature over stagnant classical forms. Because this narrative was designed to serve as a native genealogy for the New Literature Movement, it overlooked the crucial role of guwen (“ancient-style prose,” a term which denoted the everyday style of classical prose used in both preparing for the civil service examinations as well as the social exchange of letters, gravestone inscriptions, and other occasional prose forms among the literati) in early modern literary culture. This dissertation revises that narrative by showing how a diverse range of social actors used anthologies of ancient-style prose to build new forms of literary knowledge and shape new literary publics.
