If My questions have been asked, pls direct me to the thread. (Newbie)
I have serious reservations about allowing the Orc Hornbow & Butchering Axe from this book into Golarion. Were they written to be part of Golarion or just campaigns that also use Orc?
If allowed in Golarion, why? They set the new standard, upon which other weapons will be built, just like the mistakes made in 3 & 3.5. Larger weapons and better dmg. does not a better campaign make. I have already house ruled these weapons.
Allowed in Golarion:
1. Orc Hornbow be reduced to D10/x3 D8/x3 for small
2. Butchering Axe be reduced to 2D6/x4 D10/x4 for small
Reducing these to weapons places them still as Exotic Weapons per the rules of creation, and also does not break a damage threshold that has been set for Medium characters for some time as 2D6 / D12.
The Strength requirement does attempt to deal w/ imbalancing, but I believe not enough. My power-mad group are finding some interesting ways to get them on character builds, and I had to stop the madness.
Any assistance would be welcomed, Thank you. G.
