To build upon the Pied Piper idea, it is a master bard leading away the infernal children from the village of Hamelin, preventing their transformation into devils. Or how about the Bluebeard tale made stranger? In truth it is a doppelganger wizard slaying young maidens. He uses magic to hide the truth in the room, but something is still awry.
Why couldn't a polearm have a strap on it that was meant to allow it be slung over the back of someone?Try getting into melee or drawing arrows with 5-7' of stick jutting above your head, then get back to me. Exactly. I've walked around with replica pole arms. First, it's a matter of it catching on things. Ever tried to walk through the woods with one of these things held laterally? It gets caught. That's not the real problem though. Your companions are at risk of getting cut, whapped or sliced by your pole arm if it's sticking out to either side of you. It's not practical. Now that said, I've allowed people to put these things in gloves of storing and whatnot. If the PC wants to spend money so it doesn't get in his way? Cool by me. |
