A lesson he will remember for the rest of his life, for sure.

Most people fail to realize this kid just had his dad get killed during the warg attack

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sad.. now he lost his dad and sword.

Was the sword his dad's?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Doesn't matter. Got an extra sword.

you know whats better than 2 swords... Hey Gimli! Let me see your ax.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Wait, I thought lances beat swords, and swords beat axes?

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but you know what beats all three: two swords and an axe.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Guess what beats that? A Balrog.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

Ooh. Good reference! Nice!

Maybe it's a Swordbreaker axe, turn the triangle on its head.

Mans been holding onto it since back in the Prologue, probably has some Durability left.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

And my axe! Wait 🤔

He needs to put points into two handed fighting though. Otherwise he'll have a -6/-4 attack modifier. If he does though he should be able to reduce it to -2/0, negating it almost entirely.

Aragorn has points in everything. He has been a ranger for 85 years.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

I'm going to be that person but what system/edition/game are you talking about? Points sounds like 2nd edition with the way they do specializations, the penalties sound like 3.5 or Pathfinder, -6/-4 isn't one of the possible penalties though (and it would be listed -4/-6), two handed is usually a term to describe a two handed weapon not two weapons

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Absolutely.

I've always thought those rules were mostly inspired by Aaragorn, of course. I think he's also why we keep getting a 'ranger' class that never works quite right if balanced, or is overpowered.
