If the number is higher than the ability it is a failure. EX: to check the sleight of hand skill you need to roll for dexterity, you have 3 points in sleight of hand and a 10 in Dexterity. You roll an 11 but because you have 3 points in sleight of hand it comes out to be a 8 and succeed.

  • 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.).

  • Military Technology in the 12Th Century
    Zurich Model United Nations MILITARY TECHNOLOGY IN THE 12TH CENTURY The following list is a compilation of various sources and is meant as a refer- ence guide. It does not need to be read entirely before the conference. The breakdown of centralized states after the fall of the Roman empire led a number of groups in Europe turning to large-scale pillaging as their primary source of income. Most notably the Vikings and Mongols. As these groups were usually small and needed to move fast, building fortifications was the most efficient way to provide refuge and protection. Leading to virtually all large cities having city walls. The fortifications evolved over the course of the middle ages and with it, the battle techniques and technology used to defend or siege heavy forts and castles. Designers of castles focused a lot on defending entrances and protecting gates with drawbridges, portcullises and barbicans as these were the usual week spots. A detailed ref- erence guide of various technologies and strategies is compiled on the following pages. Dur- ing the third crusade and before the invention of gunpowder the advantages and the balance of power and logistics usually favoured the defender. Another major advancement and change since the Roman empire was the invention of the stirrup around 600 A.D. (although wide use is only mentioned around 900 A.D.). The stirrup enabled armoured knights to ride war horses, creating a nearly unstoppable heavy cavalry for peasant draftees and lightly armoured foot soldiers. With the increased usage of heavy cav- alry, pike infantry became essential to the medieval army.

  • Sample File Gladius: Double-Edged Sword of Roman Design Between 65 and 70 Cm Long
    he sword has been an iconic weapon in role-playing games from the earliest days. Who Thasn’t played a game where at least one player played a character wielding a mighty sword — be it a simple longsword, heavy bastard sword, versatile short sword, massive two-handed sword, or dextrous rapier? Swords, in their many flavors and varieties have filled the pages of role-playing games, fantasy books, and other writings for generations. But when you play your games, whether set in far off fantasy lands or in Norman England, do your swords all look alike? What sets one longsword apart from another? Sure, they all do the same amount of damage, but what makes them special? Swords have been around in human history since the Bronze Age, or maybe even earlier. They reached their height of variety and versatility in the European Middle Ages and have found a place among the armies of the world, stretching across Europe, Africa, and Asia. In basic terms, a sword is a bladed (edged) weapon used for cutting and thrusting. The exact definition, style, and name depends on which age of history you are examining and the culture that created the weapon. From saifs, daos, khopesh, katanas, spatha, talwar, and Viking swords to Norman Longswords, Zweihanders, scimitars, rapiers, epee, and cavalry sabers, swords have found a place in our history. These weapons were all designed to meet a specific need for the wielder - whether functional or emotional or both. From purely utilitarian functionality to great works of art, swords run the gamut of form and function, which is probably why they are so important in role-playing games.

  • The Basics of Optimal Design and Construction in Western Style Swords By: Matthew Parkinson Falling Hammer Productions, LLC
    The Basics of Optimal Design and Construction in Western Style Swords By: Matthew Parkinson Falling Hammer Productions, LLC The goal of this text is to help explain the safety and performance issues inherent in European-style swords and how they can be solved through proper construction techniques and design. This text only applies to the design of straight, western-style swords and can not be applied to other styles of work such as sabers, rapiers, Eastern and Middle Eastern swords, etc. The most common safety issues lie in the tang and pommel of the sword. To be strong the tang needs to be as wide as possible and run the full length of the hilt. A thick tang adds strength and stiffness to the hilt and the added mass of a thick tang helps to balance the sword. The stiffness of a thick tang can also improve the harmonics of the sword by toning down some of the vibrations in the hilt. There should be a radius of at least 1/8” at the junction of the tang to the blade. This radius avoids the creation of a "Stress Riser", in engineering terms, a point where stress is concentrated. A squared off corner or one with a radius of less than 1/8" is more likely to crack and fail as damage due to shock and vibration accumulate in a small area. The next safety point is pommel attachment. There are three main attachment methods. The first and most traditional method is the piened pommel. On a sword with a piened pommel the tang passes all the way through the pommel and is either hammered down tight into the pommel or a piece called a “Pien Block” is placed over the end of the tang and the tang is hammered down over it.
