Barak Shathur Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) The rules regarding parrying are a bit confusing. On the one hand, there is the Att/Def matrix which indicates a binary parrying system, on the other there is discussion of weapon damage being rolled against the parrying weapon's HP. The two are incompatible, how is it supposed to work? (nevermind, I figured it out) Edited January 15 by Barak Shathur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barak Shathur Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Unrelated question: what is a “sea axe”? Is it like a viking long axe? I sure hope they don’t mean a seax 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope they don’t mean a seax 😄 Kinda... it is a hangover from the original Elric! / Stormbringer text - which refers to a Sea Axe... as a smaller but still two handed axe, as opposed to the Lormyrean Axe (which is a BIG two handed axe). The illustration in SB5 suggests that a Sea Axe has a single bladed head, and the Lormyrean Axe is double bladed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who played StormBringer ot Elric! knows pretty well what those weapons name refer to. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just bringing back old memories. 😉 I was 12 when I first read SB, and it was the first game outside D&D I learned. I agree a more generic/descriptive name would be a better choice.
