Yoyoman996 i thought he loves deep penetration more

i thimk he is flexible enough to not restrict him self to just one option

every time he mentions the butt I instantaneously like the video now.

i miss his howevers ;(

however, butt

Not a lot anymore

FACT.

While your example follows the spirit of the law, I would argue, the text says that one should say "Bäm!" whilst hitting something with a Zweihänder.

" Oh fuck ? ", or, " Is that one of my limbs ? "

Grammatically, Zweihänder can mean somebody with two hands.

matt in particular loves the but and u know why... this was a terrible review.. admit it...

That's why we love him

TheBasjenator this is so good lol

Everything in D&D is largely an abstraction anyway. It was never designed to be a combat simulator. So long as it's real enough/ players can suspend disbelief enough to stay immersed I wouldn't worry about realism too much.

As a matter of fact I just got back from a Pathfinder session in which my big, strong fighter character was dealing nonlethal damage to some opponents. In-universe I imagined it exactly like the "pommel strike" Matt demonstrated in this video (although whether or not such a strike would be "non-lethal" in reality is up for debate, of course).

I may be taking things too far when I am factoring in geophysics and various forms of republics/monarchies/theocracies. And realistic swords.

Check out cogent roleplay (you can just google it), it is a game developed by Shad (another "medieval" KZfaqr) and his brother and it is downloadable for free. And since it is developed by Shad it is more true to reality (in terms of fighting) than the DnD. Also, it is a lot simpler to use. They don't have any levels, classes or hit points and replace them with more realistic things.

00Trademark00 I'll definitely check this out.

Does he like it? Does it itch?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

scholagladiatoria Can you tell me please where did you buy these amazing two handed longsword?

@@nathanbosley76 excellent for deep Penetration Good effect with the butt Perfect for finishing rightly.

I was thinking that

We called them "Parierhaken", meaning parrying hooks. They were primarily used as a means of catching the handle of a pole-arm whilst allowing one to stab the wielder in safety, regardless of if the lifted or kept their polearm there. They were great weapons against pikes as a result, whilst also being able to act in the role of pikes themselves, as well as the fact that they were essentially _the_ dueling greatsword, mainly due to their versatility and the number of different styles the beautiful weapon allowed.

of course

am17frans It depends on the context. ;)

Generally speaking, yes.

No. But it's fun. So, yes.

Just as much as thrusts and the butt meaning of course.

MOLON LABE!

Please recommend me a book!

Did you end up finishing it?

@@TheAntonio6579 Work in progress. This comment was made way early in the process. I'm at the point where I'm planning the main story lines to a degree, I don't want to make anything concrete. Also I've been writing couple of short stories about the world, mostly to flesh out the characters for myself. I'm not probably gonna publish those in any form since I'm not really happy with them, or I might rewrite them a tad longer. Anyways, the point of those is just to make the characters real for me. It's quite a slow process, and the actual world building is in a beginning phase. I'm not a actual writer at all, this is just a hobby and a passion project for me. Sadly it means that I have to work and I have other real life responsibilities and hobbies. This means I don't really have as much time for the project as I would want to spend on it, but I'm keeping it rolling so it doesn't completely stagnate. So if my situation chances or if I get really inspired I have that going.

@@Pyllymysli Thanks for your comments. I am the same as you, so its always interesting to see how others are doing it. I am also not a writer, its a hobby and I hope to produce my work by the time I grow old. Its a lifelong process for me.

That idea sounds amazing- I've been trying (and failing) to draw out a similar setting as a graphic novel/manga. Hema got my brain juices going and now I'm writing depression😂 If you ever put out a sample of your work, please let me know, I'm really interested in how your project is going

Kvadron he could, but I dunno if he’s into macebell workouts

Wt rings you got bithc you don't know how to do giant dad if you think he gets 24 strength git gud then you can talk.

24 strg? Go for 50 and doubleweild the Zweyhanders, thats the true way of using it!

Of course! And to draw blood with if the weapon is unsheathed and not used to kill.

Lugs should be in the flats of blade too, to plug BLOOD GROOVES. Swordsmith's mistake.

I'm not going to be funny, but(t) isn't there a case that the lugs serve as a extra hand protection, a mini cossguard for where you using the blund part of the blade above the hilt?

HoNose Muppet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A murder stroke would put proportionally more force on the metal of the guard. The guard isn't overbuilt compared to a longsword so I reckon it could damage the guard.

Not to mention that if he two-hands he can't be parried.

+ over 9000 knockback

What are you, casual?

well you can still throw the whole sword pommel first

Yes and they did. It's shown in period art and in one treatise (Fiore dei Liberi - Getty version)

Matthew St. Cyr there are records that during a battle in the First Crusade a detachment of Knights formed a circular shieldwall, using their lances as pikes whilst the archers in the center kept shooting at the enemy. Supposedly they managed to last for 7 hours before another Crusader host came and saved them

scholagladiatoria That's interesting, and, as far as I know, has not been used in movies, when it seems so obvious. "(director voice) So this knight gets knocked off his horse in the middle of the big battle. But he's still alive! He keeps fighting, using his lance as a spear."

@@dragon12234 Sorry for resurrecting this old thread after so long, but if I could get a source on that I would very much enjoy it. Not trying to fact check you, just happens to be that this type of history is my absolute favorite to read about. I've tried finding something about this incident but to no avail. Cheers mate.

Halberd. Pollaxe is more of an individual combat weapon. Minor detail, but since this channel is all about those... :)

There are several treatises detailing the use of these swords in single combat. See DiGrassi for example.

in single combat yes, where you can manage to hold a distance to maximize the effects of the sword, but in a battle situation where you can't necessarily hold the advantage of the zweihander i guess dagger and short sword is a better option! If not, why they were wearing them?

basically yes, in a battle situation where you can't swing the zweihander for reasons you wouldn't just use it in close combat, you'd drop it for the short sword you are already carrying no?

sorry but in swiss italian poleaxe and halberd are the same thing

Also a delight to listen to, if you don't kill me with this sword you sure as hell would kill me with kindness! :D

It's a two-handed weapon.. you would need an assistant to hold the sword while you unscrewed it.

Not really, they're not so heavy you can't hold it in one hand. Matt has a video where he actively uses it one handed, just to show that it is possible.

If you could afford a Zweihander, then you would have an assistant for pommel throwing. There are treatises to back this up, which Matt will find, as there are none in the Shoreham-by-Sea library, which is otherwise excellent.

You could throw the pommel But you would have to throw the rest of the sword too

Heh, I though this was a speciality in Czech to have the same word for a scabbard and for a vagina but apparently German is just as perverted :-)

Thankfully, Trademark! I was bothering none gets it..

You do know the Latin word for scabbard is "vagina" right?

Well, the Romans are also perverted then! :-)

vaginas are everywhere.. life is great

A gun.

William Dracul a regular weapon of course. because their increased strength would allow them to use normal weapons even faster and more effectively without any of the negative effects.

Yes, but what I mean is: A longsword? Sword and shield? Spear and shield? A greatsword/montante? Rapier and dagger? That kind of thing. Obviously they would excel with any kind of weapon, but, which would benefite them most thanks to their increased physical capabilities? And yes, it's a gundpowder-free setting, no guns. I know it's a joke, and I know nuclear submarine with 8 ICBMs loaded with 1 Mt nuclear warheads each beat "guns".

William Dracul You're talking almost as if there's an "ultimate weapon" built specifically for said characters. In reality it'd be no different from real life- it would all boil down to skill, training and preference. One vampire in a fantasy setting might really like his swords while another vampire in the same setting might be a beast with axes. There's really no answer to your question, it all depends on the characters themselves.

Camelslayer yup.
