As soon as

ends
Which is unlikely to ever happen.
>>339826626
True, that would only happen with a katana.
> arrows cut through plate, chain, and leather like nothing
Stop this. A good set of chain mail cost as much as an average house does today; a set of plate even more so. Some soldier isn't going to blow all his money on chain if some random peasant could 360 no scope him from 200 yards away

Mounted crossbows with steel bolts though.
But those were seen as unsportsmanlike for a reason.

It's works a lot better with a good dungeon master making it sound like epic ettacks and dodges are taking place, than it does in a video game.

I'm making an rpg at the moment, mainly to play with friends
Currently armor can entirely block damage but it murders your agility/dodge rating as it should
However, blunt attacks deal half damage when blocked as a backup in case a shitty gm decides to have some 10 foot giant with quarter inch plate

What exactly is the intended effect of the arrowhead second from bottom? When is it best used?
>>339830886
>but it murders your agility/dodge rating as it should
Why should it?
Sure it's a bit unwieldy compared to wearing loose fitting clothing but if you as a footman was a tank with legs nobody would use it.
I mean, you should get a penalty but if it's realism or logic you want then it shouldn't be THAT big of a penalty.
>wants games restricted by realism
sounds fun

Well, there's not a single game where you can actually fight like that and it seems difficult to design a system that lets you and is still interesting.
>>339831494
You only get movement penalty if your strength isn't high enough to support it, a high dex will even increase your movespeed by up to two spaces
But your chance to dodge is going to be cut in half essentially
With what you said I'm going to fiddle with the penalties to have yo be mostly screwed agaisnt ranged attack, but still able to dodge melee attacksranged weapons usually get accuracy bonuses
>>339831351
I didn't even know you could do this.
>>339831351
Most likely for hunting small animals. Bigger arrowhead=more chance to hit small target.
Like you would use a shotgun to hunt birds, not a rifle.
That or for crippling things/cutting rope, but that's show to not be effective in the leas and it's doubtful it was actually used much for that.
>>339832106
I'm actually working on anSRPGwith mechanics like that. The way I intend to balance plate armour is having it make you mostly immune to cutting attacks and arrows. Blunt attacks would still cause damage, but they're more likely to stun than kill outright (with the stunning possibly opening up the opportunity for a proper killing attack via sword or dagger through the visor, armpit or ass), and certain attacks like lance charges and the beaks of warhammers and picks could kill outright, especially if they hit the head.
The drawbacks are that full plate is rare and expensive, and you're unlikely to have all your units wearing it, even if you wouldn't have a reason not to, and your plate guys could still get fucked if you put them into a situation where they're outnumbered sans backup or in range of enemy muskets or heavy crossbows.
If you're only controlling a single character as in most games, making plate realistic might get boring, unless it has a detailed wrestling system and you're fighting armoured dudes exclusively, or it's like a musou game where you just slaughter hordes of helpless peasant infantry, but I think it could work in a squad-level context.

what are these kinds of helmet/masks called? the ones with faces, I mean.
Googling, "face mask" surprisingly doesn't help.
