>There is no such thing as Dex weapons.

An AR-15 has a kick like a handicapped kitten, can be fired by a 6 year old girl who wants to be just like her daddy, and will also absolutely blow the fuck out of anyone that happens to be on the front end of it depending entirely on how well it's aimed. The bullet either glances or hits one of your rolling blobs of ass fat and does 1 damage or it detonates one of your vital organs and then causes them to gyser out of the exit wound and does your entire HP, unless it hits you in the face, that's a critical hit so it does twice your entire HP just to add insult to injury by insisting you have a closed casket funeral.

>>What is a rapier?

A large, relatively heavy sword which required considerable strength to use effectively. Seriously, rapiers weighed at least as much as other one-handed swords, had longer blades which made them more difficult to control if you had weak wrists and generally needed even more strength than most weapons to use effectively.

>>51130530
>>51130530

Actually...

>The king of Nerluc had attacked the Tarasque with knights and catapults to no avail. But Saint Martha found the beast and charmed it with hymns and prayers, and led back the tamed Tarasque to the city. The people, terrified by the monster, attacked it when it drew nigh. The monster offered no resistance and died there. Martha then preached to the people and converted many of them to Christianity. Sorry for what they had done to the tamed monster, the newly Christianized townspeople changed the town's name to Tarascon.

But it came from Galatia, nowdays Turkey, so the joke falls flat. Too bad.

>>51129117
>There is no such thing as Dex weapons.

>what is gun

>>51130732
The difficulty of using a rapier is that you have the weight of a two-handed sword used with one hand in positions where upper body muscles can't work at their optimum. They are exceptionally easy to control due to weight distribution relative to the handle, and frighteningly fast.

>Female martials
You really need to qualify this better. It's really uncommon as standard operating procedure standing armies, but those are pretty exceptional and recent. And the front isn't usually that far from home in a premodern setting.

Barbarians lugged women and kids and goats and all their shit to the front because they settled as they went. Camp followers handled logistics and field engineering voluntarily or otherwise, and would be pressed into actual combat service in an emergency. Civilians in a town getting sacked would fight, women included. Naval history has ample records of women tagging along for personal reasons and becoming fairly martial at sea -sometimes above the board (only the captain's wife knows how to navigate now that the captain's dead) and sometimes less so (dude who dropped from the rigging six years into their service had tits, or an old woman is claiming military benefits). The last is where we have some of the better documented examples of careerism among "female martials," because it's late enough that we have access to records but early enough that women wouldn't universally get caught in a medical exam or some shit. Also, granted it's hard to get a bead on how common this is both because the confirmed stories were popular enough to be overblown in their time and because presumably not everyone who snuck aboard got caught, got reported once caught, or claimed benefits.

There's really no such thing as a Str weapon either. If it's heavy/badly balanced enough to be hard to pick up and swing, you're either incredibly out of shape or it's kind of a shit weapon.

Dio is an immortal vampire, why do you think they named an anime vampire after him?

>>51131254
The pre-Muslim Arab myths usually have a bit of that in them. Prostitute bares her breasts, unicorn (smaller, more goatlike, had another name I don't remember) suckles milk, she grabs it by the horn and men kill it. The "tamed man" thing is kind of a common myth in the ancient near east. Gilgamesh has Enkidu being tamed by a prostitute as well.

Christian myths give us the virgin, treat her as some kind of Mary analogue, and treat the unicorn's death as a Christ analogue.

>I assassinated an incompetent and tyrannical king, stabilized a nation in the aftermath of a devastating war, built numerous universities and hospitals to usher my nation into a golden age, and helped reign in the excesses of the aristocracy. I only really did those things because I want power and respect and people are less likely to revolt if you treat them well.

>I assassinated the rightful king and all of his sons, marrying his eldest daughter and sending the rest to become nuns. I started a costly war and ceased investing in infrastructure to fund those wars. The lack of investment led to revolts and spreading of plague which I responded to violently and ruthlessly to halt the spread of the plague and prevent any future rebellions. I did this because I believed that the world would be better off if both our kingdoms were united under the same ruler.

The point is that there is no such thing as a dex weapon. Pretty much all weapons require relatively high strength to use effectively. A strength 7 pussy wouldn't be able to stab someone to death effectively no matter how fast he is and drawing a longbow made for war requires massive amounts of strength, far more than your average jackass.

The point is that what people commonly think of as finesse weapons actually require considerable strength to use effectively.

>>51132109
>So the former is evil and the latter is good?

one just has a better outcome.

>>51132166

>>51132109
>So the former is evil and the latter is good?
I'm sure if you look around you'll find plenty of Hollywood movies where that's exactly the case, only they'll make sure to paint the latter in a better light where the "rightful king" would be a tyrant and the eldest daughter would be in love with hero and the second kingdom will also be cartoonishly evil.

>>51132166
But all weapons also take finesse to use effectively. It doesn't matter how strong you are if you don't have any balance and can't take a step without falling over.

To be an effective fighter requires both dexterity (which isn't speed as much as it is balance, hand-eye coordination and control over your muscle groups) and strength (which also makes you faster).

In general, separating weapons into Str and Dex groups is retarded, since all weapons require both. That's why I like systems where Str defines damage and Dex defines to-hit chance.

Your newness is quaint and it makes me feel comfy

>There is no such thing as Dex weapons.

The fuck? In reality the it's almost exclusively the opposite. Have ever seen an actual battleaxe? It's a tiny little joke of a weapon that's a light as possible for, you guess it, speed and dexterity.

Who won on the medieval battlefield, the strong peasantry or the highly trained professionals who honed their fighting skills and speed (read; dexterity)? When using a sword is it better to properly align to an edgy using your dexterity then to hit on the flat of a blade?

Hell even bows aren't really strength weapons beyond needing X amount of physical strength to draw the bowstring. It's not like you can poor extra strength into it to make it shoot harder, the strength of the bow is limited by the draw-weight and the rest is your aim. Literally a dex weapon.

Even two handed longswords are mostly about skill, dexterity, and practiced grace. Have you ever even seen medieval fighting manuals? That shit is as kung fu as any martial art with its locking elbows and sliding your blade around on the enemy's to keep his cutting line away from you and your cutting line closer to him.

The only real 'strength' weapons there are would be a gigantic war hammer, maybe. But in my games because I like clear character choices and distinguished I don't care about realism as much so two handers are strength (including longbows) and one handers are dex (including shortbow- weak enough drawstring that even a women could draw)

If you do your game in any way differently, you are literally retarded and doing it very, very wrong. Fuck you OP.

Peasents who spend all day lifting gigantic sacks of grain and rocks, climbing up and down ladders and plucking haybales, peasants who physically grab and flip over sheep to sheer them aren't stronger then nobility who live most of their lives in a castle learning how to swing swords around?

Oops, silly me. Guess I didn't know that doing physically demanding activities doesn't actually make you stronger, my mistake.

Two swords of equal lentgh being wielded isn't fantasy. Two axes and such, only in viking chronicles that also have fantastical elements.

About fighting women, this might be of interest:

" I typically suggest a tapering bastard sword for my novice female students... I also find my female students enjoy study of the spear or long staff, it being an equalizing weapon which requires more precision than strength... However, each person must always choose the tool they feel best fits their disposition as a fighter... the historical source manuals are more than clear that skill transcends strength alone and skill is a matter of several blending factors that are independent of gender."

No, all should be dex weapons and all have strength requirement. Even knifes and daggers. You can use the weapon with less strenght than the required, but you get massive penalties. Amongst other effects, using two hands (if possible) reduces the requirement.

>Common misconception: Kantian morality is even vaguely valid.

No, it is internally consistent and his conclusions follow logically from his axioms, and is therefore, by definition, perfectly valid. There's a reason he's still entry-level reading for undergraduate philosophy courses, and I'll give you a hint: it's not as an example of shoddy logic.

If think he's wrong, say that, don't use a word that doesn't apply.

>>51144826
At least they didn't try to build a nation by dropping more bombs on it than everybody together dropped all over the world during WW2.

Japan had that coming being shits after WWI, and weak government.

>>51144864

>>51144872

He's beginner-tier philosophy because his system of morality is as black and white as they come, and the basis of a huge number of modern philosophers' work. Being unfamiliar with his work and trying to study later philosophers is a hiding to nothing, so he gets introduced alongside Plato and Aristotle.

His writing isn't easy, in fact like most German translations it's clunky and hard to focus through, but most courses just pick out the important excerpts in manageable portions and use them as readings.

His logic is basically faultless, which is part of the reason his work was so important, and hence why I was a bit triggered by anon claiming his morality isn't valid. It may be wrong or misguided, which is apparently anon's opinion, but it is one of the most impeccably valid moral systems around.

>>51144924
Morality isn't really black and white, which is where Kant's flaw seems to be from what you've said, if I'm wrong, correct me.

Congratulations, you are a fucking moron. You are so fucking stupid that retards look smugly upon you and think, "What a fucking mongoloid."

Look up Great helms. Look up Corinthian helms. Look up Sallet helms. Look up dozens of infantry helms that were most certainly not meant to have a visor up while on foot and fighting with people.

And after you do that, go fuck yourself with a rusty table saw.

>>51144941

Nah, and of course most people and probably most philosophers would agree with you. However, there's a big difference between a flawed belief and an invalid argument.

See, Kant made a convincing, logically sound and (importantly) logically valid argument for a pretty black-and-white moral system, which is why he is so well-regarded. He was persuasive in claiming that reason gives rise to morality, rather than vice versa, and that actually represented a complete reversal of the accepted formula (first proposed by Aristotle, to give you an idea of how ingrained it was by Kant's time).

Philosophy should be a compulsory course at a tertiary level, because even in the first months it forces you to take your personal moral values and question their consistency - I don't want to start throwing around buzzwords but I'm sure you can imagine the kind of campus resident who would benefit from being required to apply internally-consistent logic to their own sense of morality.

>>51145040
So I got it right? Yeah, I know the kind of people who could do with that. Lacking a lot of formal education on my part, it seems to me reason is the only place morality could have arisen from, even most religious moral codes have semi consistent reasoning.

>>51145086

Yes, you got it right, sorry I wasn't clear about that at all.

But of course, as you've said, it also seems self-evident that reason gives rise to morality, rather than that goodness gives rise to ratonality. So on some level, you instinctively agree with Kant, but don't believe the issue to be black-and-white.

That's the kind of thing that makes this stuff so fascinating, and precisely why Kant is a great introductory figure despite his heavy writing.

Tbh there would had been nothing wrong with nips getting to experience little of bit of their own medicine.

>>51148092
That is a pretty big sword.

A katana
Weight: 1.1-1.3 kg
Length: 60-73 cm
So possibly less than 2/3rds as long and only slightly heavier. Lets compare how heavy each would feel by looking at the moment caused when carrying a sword by the handle. For simplicity we will say all of the weight is in the blade.

A katana weighs 1.3 kg and is 73 cm long. While the weight is distributed we can simplify it to be the same as putting all the weight in the center of the blade. So in effect we have 1.3 kg 36.5 cm from the hand. 1.3*9.81*0.365=4.65 N/M So in effect the weight you are feeling from the blade is the same as a 4.65 newton force (because kg is mass not weight) 1 meter from your hand. Doing the same with a rapier we have 1*9.81*0.52=5.10 N/M.

The end result is that when comparing the two weapons a rapier which is a one handed weapon will actually feel heavier than a katana which is a two handed weapon. Even assuming the rapier has a proportionally heavier handle the two weapons would at least feel similar in heaviness but again the rapier is one handed.

All weapons are actually based on human dexterity, strength isn't really a factor in their use, save bows and even then it's more dexterity and strength than strength alone,for instance a Greatsword in D&D would weigh less than 3kg in reality, they were not slow weapons.

>>51155931
I said in reality, games sometimes have backwards ass logic, most man-portable firearms do not require strength to use, and those few that do, usually require that they be mounted on the ground, removing most strength from the equation, nobody cares about your PC particularly because nowhere in there does that story refute my point.

False. D&D is realistic. See Goblin Slayer. He can silently kill screaming enemies just fine, hammer pegs into rocks & no one hears. It's very realistic because he does it in a cave where sound echoes & thus no one can hear. My faggot GM once said that it isn't & that realistically he'd get heard but he's the same idiot who thinks stabbing yourself with an infected dagger to scare enemies has consequences.

Double side swords was more of a dexterity thing.Giacomo di Grassi says in the beginning it's not a battlefield thing/

However, two swords of equal length were used in combat, particularly in Asia, though they were more short sword length to make them more manageable.

I seriously hope you don't do this.

Anyways, warrior women were a thing, but were relatively rare. The famous warrior women became famous because they were exceptional and shouldn't really be used as the norm.
