Take a look at the trident and spear for instance, same stats, different name. Nothing separates them, not really. Just flavor. The goal of Weapon Perks is to give the players additional reasons to pick a specific weapon. Weapons are more than just objects that adventurers carry to stab, slice, or break enemies with. In the proper hands of a master, they can be powerful tools to gain the upper hand against an enemy. A weapon perk is a special skill or technique that can be used with a specific weapon. This allows each weapon to feel unique among all of the options the adventurers have, and hopefully give them their own identity. All the weapon perks are part of the weapons, but requires that the creature be proficient with the weapon In order to execute the weapons perk. If a perk requires a creature to make a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + proficiency bonus + Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). As the Dungeon Master, it’s up to you if you wish to include these perks in your monsters. It can certainly give a simple Goblin and Kobold a bit of versatility and challenge the player characters. However, the goal is to make the players weapon choice feel like it matters.

The blacksmith would then grab a small nearby tool and launch it with great accuracy at the thief, often breaking a leg or other bones in their body, allowing them to be caught and turned over to the guards.

    Wildlands A Homebrew Setting and Conversion for This is Not a Test By: Mike R. and Jeff S. Summary: A fantasy conversion for This Is Not a Test, the premise is that a group of inventors created a powerful device known as the Mueller Gateway. It opened a portal into a parallel and unnatural realm known as the Immaterial. They hoped to harness the power of this realm, but instead were driven mad by exposure to it. They lost control of their device, and in doing so released a plague of interdimensional horrors into an area known as the Wildlands; the region they had set up their workshop. The Empire, fighting a war in the North with the barbaric Orc hordes, has been forced to turn to mercenaries to help quell the outbreak. The Emperor himself placed a bounty on each and every creature, to be paid upon proof of death. Now Mercenary Warbands roam the Wildlands, hunting the beasts and each other. You play as one of these Warbands, and your goal is simple: Hunt creatures, stop other Warbands from doing the same, and get paid. Rule Changes: The rules are basically the same with some minor variations Term and Name Changes: Robot = Golem Mutant = Touched Primitive = Common Support Weapon = Artillery Creature = Beast Warband = Company Modern = Uncommon Relic = Curio Heavy Improvised = Improvised Great Weapon Heavy Weapon = Great Weapon Light Improvised = Improvised Hand Weapon Light Weapon = Hand Weapon Small Blade = Dagger Mauler = Halberd Slaughter Blade = Falchion Maw-Maw’s Pry Bar = The Spirit of the Knight Exemplar Bow = Short Bow Black Powder

  • 5 Abkhazia: Living with Insecurity
    5 Abkhazia: Living with insecurity Maxim Gvindzhiya Destroyed building in Sukhum(i) PHOTO: ANNA MATVEEVA Summary When conflict with Georgian forces broke out in August 1992, many Abkhaz were armed only with hunting rifles, though more advanced weapons were soon acquired from Russian troops, either by negotiation or unilateral seizure. The SALW used were mostly of Soviet/Russian origin. Since the conflict ended in 1993, SALW have remained widespread. The local population still feels insecure, and in such circumstances, people are reluctant to hand in their weapons. Tension is particularly high in the Gal(i) region, which lies on the de facto Abkhaz border that forms a ceasefire line with Georgia proper. The government of the unrecognised Republic of Abkhazia has had some success in regulating SALW proliferation. Legal arms sales are better controlled, and the MOI keeps a register of all individuals who possess arms. Legislation has been passed on the possession and trafficking of firearms. However, whenever tension escalates at the border, guns again become more visible in society. 2 THE CAUCASUS: ARMED AND DIVIDED · ABKHAZIA Traditional gun A close affinity with guns and pastoral gun possession, especially in the mountain culture areas, is rooted in the cultural traditions of the Abkhaz. In the past, an Abkhaz man typically provided his family with food by hunting, fishing or farming and these trad- itions remain strong. Today, coupled with the impact of the war, the Abkhaz attitude to weapons is still largely governed by tradition. Traditional Abkhaz culture stresses the importance of firearms in society, and these ideas are instilled in the Abkhaz from birth.

  • Exploring New Technologies for Hunting Review and Recommendations December 2017
    DRAFT 12/11/2017 EXPLORING NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR HUNTING REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS DECEMBER 2017 A white paper analyzing the history of fair chase hunting and traditional hunting ethics in North America, a framework for examining certain technologies and where they fit into the spectrum of hunting tools, techniques and tactics Wyoming Game and Fish Department Committee Members Aaron Kerr Dustin Shorma Dustin Kirsch Irah Leonetti Tara Hodges Nick Roberts Jeff Short Joe Sandrini EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hunting equipment technology has advanced greatly over the past few decades and continues to expand at a rapid rate. This change in hunting technology has led to concerns from wildlife management professionals, the hunting public, legislators and other interested parties regarding maintenance of fair chase and ethical hunting practices. In August, 2017, a Wyoming Game and Fish Department committee was established to examine various pieces of high-tech equipment available for hunting and suggest ways to address them in relation to fair chase and ethical hunting. The committee was also tasked with looking at ways to analyze potential future technological developments within the same arena. The assembled committee discussed and outlined the history of fair chase hunting and traditional hunting ethics in North America and developed a framework for examining certain technologies and where they fit into the spectrum of hunting tools, techniques, and tactics. The framework divides fair chase into two categories for consideration, one related to an animal’s ability to avoid detection and the other concerned with the animal's ability to elude harvest if detected. The first category is subdivided into traditional and modern methods of detecting game, and the second is delineated by distances a hunter must stalk within to make a reasonable attempt at a quick and humane kill.

PETERMAN-10 (DO NOT DELETE) 7/2/2014 5:25 PM SECOND AMENDMENT DECISION RULES, NON-LETHAL WEAPONS, AND SELF- DEFENSE General public debate about the Second Amendment has focused almost exclusively on the regulation of firearms. After Heller and McDonald, the scope of the Second Amendment’s protection has been hotly contested. One area of the Second Amendment that has been less discussed is the decisional rules that would govern non-firearms and levels of protection based on location. This Comment proposes two Second Amendment Constitutional decisional rules. Broadly, this Comment suggests that the “common use” test for “arms” should be modified for the development of new arms, such as non-lethal weapons, that are subject to the Second Amendment. The proposed “common use for the self-defense purpose” test attempts to add more precision by tying the weapon to the individual right to self-defense.

  • Hunting Paths in the Amazon: Technics and Ontogenesis Among the Panará
    Dossier Technique, power, transformation - Environments and territories Hunting paths in the Amazon: technics and ontogenesis among the Panará Fabiano Campelo Bechelany 1 1 Universidade Federal do Sul e Sudeste do Pará, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais do Araguaia-Tocantins, Marabá/PA, Brasil Abstract This paper presents a description of hunting and an analysis of its technical relations among the Panará, an indigenous group which inhabits southern Amazonia. The paper is focused around two genetic processes of hunting: the individuation of the hunter and the constitution of a hunting territory. In this sense, it approaches the constitution of the hunter as person in relation with his weaponry, a technical object that is the mediator between the hunter’s action and the prey; afterwards, it approaches the forms of environment that emerges from the movement across the forest and through the production of hunting paths where the prey is encountered. The analysis of these aspects allows us to get insight of the hunting activity from the point of view of its actions, materials and interactions with the environment, from the analysis of technical elements which are socially relevant and construct important modes of relation between Panará and their territory.
