Are whips melee or ranged weapons?

They're relee weapons.
>>

Hey is it pronounced MEE-LEE or MAY-LAY or MAY-LEE or MEE-LAY?

Or MEH-LEH?
>>
>>44336869
Which one sounds the most french?

>>44336839
Long range melee with some penalties at close range.
>>
>>44336839
What bonuses do they have against undead?
>>
>>44336902
Like a spear, except instead of beating a dude with the pole when he gets close you're trying to garrote him.
>>
>>44336944
Or hitting him with the pommel.
>>
>>44336869
I trust the announcer in Super Smash Bros. on this one, because he's also the announcer in Bill Nye the Science Guy, and that never steered me wrong.
>>
>>44336869
Proper way to say it is May-Lay AFAIK.
However, I still use Melee sometimes because it's more comfortable to combine with my native language.
>>
>>44336839
Ranged melee weapons
>>
Melee weapon with reach. Or if you're playing fate, 1 zone or some thing like that.

Don't worry anon, I get it.

It's a reach weapon, fuckwit
>>
>>44336936
The vampire killer is more of a spiked chain to be honest.
>>
>>44337297
It's more of a really long flail and is even called the morningstar in 2.

Cool whip, bro but check this out
>>
>>44337490
I should have had a bladed whip, yeah. And a mirror whip. But technically that's a sword.
>>
>>44337528
It's much closer to a whip in usage and functionality.

Normal swordfighting techniques would be fucking useless with an urumi. Whip techniques, quite a bit closer.

>Are flails melee or ranged weapons?

You could have said javelin or pilum instead, but no, you had to be a retard who asked if a weapon, that people held in their hands, and never let go of, in order to physically strike another human being, with the weapon firmly in their hand, connecting the two people during point of contact, is a melee weapon or not.

You know, part of me wants to set up my will so that my bones are used to fashion weapons after I'm dead.

I wonder if you could build a decent gun out of human bones?
>>
>>44337759
You could settle for pistol grips, like how they make them out of ivory and such.
>>
>>44337759
Why wait until you die? Just have some surgically removed and then you can them yourself.
>>
>>44338459
I'm sure not everything could be metal, but I'd wonder just how much you could do as bone. Certainly more than just the grips, I would think.

Fancy seeing you here, Akantor. Have you played MHX yet?

I think whips count as melee, they never leave the hand of the user and don't have any sort of projectile, but they're definitely a long range attack, like a polearm.
>>
>>44336839
If you throw or shoot it it's range, if you hold it meelee, its pretty fucking simple.
>>
>>44338898
You can get them to make inlays of your bone into wooden rifle stocks.
>>
>>44336839
Melee weapon with reach.

Like rope-darts or long polearms.
>>
>>44336839
Long melee
