Both of these are accurate. Painting maille is an effective way to protect against rust, and the morgan bible falchions certainly existed as some queer cleavers.

>gives black people a racial bonus to spear throwing in his games

Actually, Darklings have a +0 racial mod to strength, and spear-type melee weapons have their damage based on strength (or rather penalized if Str is below a given cutoff), meaning they have equal spear-chucking ability to Thulean natives and are at a disadvatage compared to God-fathered (+1 STR) and Fairlings (+2 STR). This is all assuming the characters are male, female racial mods are different.

You know I'm surprised "racial realist" types wouldn't at least divide africa into blacks and egyptians if only to deny the blacks the "we wuz kangz" rhetoric.

>>52798510
To be fair, the game is supposed to be played in white lands. Any blacks would be foreigners.

>>52798510
>>52798551
Except there are two types of Arbi (Africans), Darklings and Weaklings (presumably standard Nego and Pygmy subtypes of the Negroid grouping), with Khemetians (Egypt in Egyptian was Khemet) being a separate race, and representing Middle Eastern and Semitic peoples more generally. Also, the subvivisions in the not!Europeans are just for those who are half-elf or half-divine, with Fairlings being Neanderthals.

Sure, we have concrete information about modern history, but the further back you go the harder it is to verify what is authentic and what is correct. Just because someone makes a record of events doesn't mean that those records are objective or they might even be bullshit. People in the past made up dumb shit as well and also constructed junk.

dnd great swords are historical longswords.

dnd longswords are made up elvish weapons that don't actually exist in real life.

at least that's how i come to terms with it. 5e gave longswords the versatile trait, so i guess they're saying they're hand and a half swords.

but whatever, in history swords weren't really as standardized as dnd. it was either long, normal, or something single edged. typically the single edged blades are the ones with standardized names, and that's usually just based on the local word for single edged sword anyway.
