  • 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.

    The Quarter-staff after Joseph Swetnam, 1617 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License. Note: the following is based on a transcript of Joseph Swetnam’s ‘The Schoole of the Noble and Worthy Science of Defence’ hosted at www.thearma.org. Some spelling has been modernised and minor edits made for readability. Any errors are entirely my own - William Carew, November 2012. Introductory remarks The first chapter shows what weapons are chiefly to be learned, with many other principal notes worthy of observation. Because old weapons lie rusty in a corner, and every man desires the newest fashion of weapons, especially if they seem to be more danger to the enemy than the old, therefore it is my intention and purpose at this time to express and set down both the true and false play principally of the rapier and dagger, and staff, for I hold that the skill of these two weapons are chiefly and necessary of every man to be learned, for to have the use of a rapier to ride with, and staff to walk on foot with, for those whom have the skill of these two weapons may safely encounter against any man having any other weapon whatsoever, as hereafter you shall be sufficiently satisfied... The Quarter-staff Keep the point of your staff right in your enemy’s face, holding one hand at the very butt end of the staff, and the other a foot and a half distant, looking over your staff with both your eyes and your feet at one and a half distance apart, or thereabouts, according to this picture, always standing cross with your enemy, I mean, if his right hand and foot be foremost, let yours be so likewise, and if his left hand and foot be foremost, then make you your change and cross with him also.
