Lets have a thread on big weapons. Any systems where this is possible? Do you prefer a "realistic" approach or do you prefer anime shenanigans? Are PCs even allowed to use large weapons on foot, for that matter?
possible in almost any system. it's called a strength check
>>97096682I hate it. Maybe because I didn't grow up watching anime as a kid but that sort of thing just seems way too silly for me.
>>97096682Sure, there are rules for using objects of any size in my system.
>>97096682Should have the option in any game that assumes the PCs are going to be fighting monsters the size of a house. Otherwise you're just fighting a dragon with what amounts to a toothpick. In any other context is just feels sort of extraneous.
>>97096682Fixed.
Why would anyone use ludicrously sized swords if not going for an anime/jrpg feel? I mean, I can't think of any in western fantasy. The most is perhaps Warcraft's war hammers, but I bet it's more of a case of not doing math than wanting REALLY big weapons.
>>97097497because it's cool you lame faggot
>>97097497>>97097219Western Europeans thought huge swords were cool enough to spend shitloads of money having them built.
>>97097497It's a practical weapon for anyone who's abnormally strong, and anime/jrpg heroes often have higher stats than western fantasy heroes.
>>97097497In a horror campaign, it could accentuate the feel of being powerless against an inhumanly strong killer
