  • 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.).

  • Keltiké Makhaira. on a La Tène Type Sword from the Sanctuary of Nemea
    JAN KYSELA · STEPHANIE KIMMEY KELTIKÉ MAKHAIRA. ON A LA TÈNE TYPE SWORD FROM THE SANCTUARY OF NEMEA An iron sword (IL 296) was discovered in Well K14:4 in the sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea (today Archaia Nemea, Corinthia / GR) in 1978 (fg. 1, N). Although promptly published (Stephen G. Miller 1979; 2004) and displayed in the local archaeological museum, and known therefore for four decades now, it has received only very little attention so far (the only exception being a brief note in Baitinger 2011, 76). The present paper is an attempt to make up for this disinterest. DESCRIPTION The iron sword has a straight symmetrical two-edged blade tapering towards the point with some preserved wooden elements of the hilt (fg. 2). The measurements of the sword are as follows: overall L. c. 83 cm; blade L. c. 72 cm; blade W. at the hilt 4.9 cm; tang L. c. 11 cm; L. of the preserved wooden handle 6.5 cm; W. of the guard 5 cm; L. of rivets in the hilt 24 mm. The sword has not been weighed. The object was re- stored after its discovery; no information about the nature and extent of this intervention has been pre- served, however. It underwent a mechanical cleaning and was heavily restored with epoxy 1. A later and duly documented conservation in 2010 aimed mostly at the stabilisation of the object. The blade is bent but complete. In several spots (particularly in its upper fourth and towards its very end), the remains of iron sheet cling to the blade surface.

  • Cremations in the Bronze and the Early Iron Ages
    Symposium Proceedings CREMATIONS IN THE BRONZE AND THE EARLY IRON AGES Rhodes, 29 April – 2 May 1999 Organization: University of Crete 22nd EPCA Mediterranean Archaeological Society EDITING: NIKOLAOS CHR. STAMPOLIDIS ATHENS 2001 The custom of cremation and the Macedonians. Some thoughts on the occasion of the findings in the Aigai necropolis Aggeliki Kottaridi In the cemeteries of the Macedonians of the Early Iron Age (11th-7th c. BC) the usual burial practice is interment. This is also true of course for the area of Aigai. In the impressive cemetery of the tumuli1, which lies to the north of the ancient city, but also in the cemeteries of the satellite settlements2, the dead –rich and poor, men and Women- are interred. Cremations are eXtremely rare and the very feW eXamples that We knoW –they can be counted with the fingers of one hand- are humble funerary pyres of not important people3. Cremation as a Way of burying of the prominent people appears in the royal necropolis of the ancient Macedonian capital, for the first time and in a very impressive Way, in the Archaic times. It is very tempting to connect the appearance of this custom With the assuming of poWer by the Temenids, in the 7th c. BC; however, any such thought is for the moment no more than an attractive working hypothesis. To the southWest of the cemetery of the tumuli, Which is the core of the ancient necropolis, We investigated from 1994 to 1996 a particularly interesting cluster of tombs, apparently belonging to a very prominent family of Aigai4.

  • 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.

  • Since Time Immemorial, Mankind and the Gods of Antiquity Have Held an Uneasy Relationship. Plague, Famine, Natural Disaster-Thei
    Since time immemorial, mankind and the gods of antiquity have held an uneasy relationship. Plague, famine, natural disaster-their displeasure has been remembered in myth and legend for aeons. What is often less well recorded is the magnitude of their battle against the Titans, their progenitors and ancient foes. Whether the roiling bones of the earth or the frosted breath of ancient winter, each Titan in its greater aspect was a concept born at the beginning of all existence incarnated as a plane of existence driven by the urge to self-propagate limitlessly. More force of nature than sentient being, each Titan boasted a handful of avatars personifying certain overriding facets-each a powerful being on par with the greatest of gods, but similarly warped by their progenitor’s primal urges. In due time, the gods retreated from the world. With the advent of human civilisation came chains of Fate that threatened to set pantheons against each other, or through faith change them beyond all recognition. Safe in the Overworld, a plane of limitless potential from which all divine life springs, only seldomly do the gods now visit mankind in mortal guise. All that has changed with a single event: The escape of the Titans. Sundering their prison in the Underworld and damaging the realms of the dead, the Titans have reentered the Overworld for revenge and the reclamation of their rule. As war breaks out in the heavens, the Titans have begun seeding the world with their spawn. But the gods, compulsive meddlers themselves, have a recourse for such things.
