Re: Artillery!!! Mardok how cool. I have built catapults and ballistas. The ballista really have no reciol as their mass is much more than the shot. Lord Ghee

Re: Artillery!!! This is a quick answer. Ballistas can range from the size of a large crossbow to 2 ton monsters like the one on ebay. (http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=152467) right after the roman empire the Byzantines developed a giant bow that did the job of the ballista but was easier to produce and keep it had a bow of 8 feet and a draw of 6 and shot large bolts. The same is true with each of these weapons the trebuchet could be a 12 ft arm powered by 4 men pulling ropes to a 40 foot arm that threw a 300 pound stone. And if you put wheels on it, it travels in place which extents the range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwolf, This is a great site. http://www.trebuchet.com/ The cannon are a different problem. Early they are bigger and get smaller every 50 years or so. In use they usually recoil their length or about. So an early one that is an 18 lb. And is 12 foot long would recoil 12 feet I can get more info but I will nee to dig out a book. Hope this helps Lord Ghee

Re: How many arrows can an arrow maker make? so as a start One day to gather the correct wood and size it from the area. One day to fire straighten the arrows. bundle the arrows and allow to dry 1 to 6 months (1 month in desert heat to 6 months in European north climes). one day to peel off bark and fire staighen again. (lath will help hear?) one day to trim to length and add arrow heads (need saw and arrow heads) one day to fletch shafts (need glue and thread and feathers) If one has a lab then you can do eighty arrows a month your self what is intresting 6 people working together will only put out 480 a month with a 6 day week. (so doing one thing must speed that up maybe 50% more? Lord Ghee

Re: How many arrows can an arrow maker make? A Family in England made the family fortune on suppling King John crossbow Quarrels during the Baron's war. the number I remember is 1,000,000 bolts. Seiges seem to have eaten up a lot of ammo. thanks for the help. Lord Ghee

A player in my game shot off his load of arrows in an encounter. this follows player: " I make more arrow tonight" Gm: " what?, you do not have any blanks" player:"that OK I have the bower skill and I go out and cut up some trees and make arrows" Gm: " that like weeks and the wood needs to be season and (realizing that game time was not the time) never mind' Player ' I need season wood. OK I can cut up a staff and GM: "we will worry about it later" So what dose it take to make an arrow and a bow spell out in steps and time The player will argue with me so help Lord Ghee
