Ooooo... I'll look into this one. This looks right up my alley.

I love the idea of specific weapon types having additional characteristics for characters trained in that skill, like a Bowie knife having a bonus to disarm (for characters attempting the feat/skill/whatever). It allows players to really explore the history of the weapons. And you found a typo in a Castles & Crusades book? I am _shocked_ I tell you. _SHOCKED!_ 😅

Great video. I have the original Adventurer's Armory, and the damages seemed off in that book as well. I use other books--notably the Gygax World Building series--for weapon damages. Or I just change the damage for players (always higher). Otherwise, the Adventurers' Armory is a great book to help players unfamiliar with armor and weaponry. I think with the Gygax books, those also serve a similar purpose, and I use those (as a CK) because there are a lot of other information and tables as well.

Thanks. Nice video!! Yeah -- I question those damages -- and some of those are so weak -- why even use some of these weapons if they do 1d3 for example? It'l like 80% of the weapons aren't worth even getting. Love that every weapon is illustrated though. Yeah -- this book is worth it for the pictures and the description text -- but yeah not sure I would bother with trying to differentiate what damage different maces do for example. If you do then like you said why not just use the mace(s) that do the most damage?

Really looking forward to this coming out! To be honest though, I'm not much of a fan of the cover art. I hope this is just a place holder for the cover.

did this end up on backerkit (or will it)?

Glad I skipped this one. Way more detail than I need. Plenty of weapons in the ABP.
