| Modest Proposals |
So, I’ve been trying to think of a way to reduce the dominance of d12 weapons.
Rule Proposal: Non-Piercing 2H Weapons are at -2 to hit when fighting adjacent to an ally or solid obstacle. Probably taking it too far, but I could also see it as a cumulative -1 instead. Additionally, instead of a general rule, I could see it as a weapon trait to limit the negative to the bigger d12 weapons.
Background: I was thinking about a David Gemmel book I read a few years back (Stormrider?), and they describe how the claymore causes the natives to fight as individuals because they have to stand so far apart versus the short swords allowing their enemy to fight side by side. I thought this could be a pretty good explanation for reduce accuracy of larger weapons being swung around when in many scenarios it just wouldn’t be possible.
