Re: (TFT) How often should TFT swords Break

[Hiryuu Chi <chiisai_ryuujin@yahoo.com>]

It's my understanding that the metal available during
the periods at which TFT is usually played simply
wasn't that good.

However, while I'd think you'd get a fair amount of
weapon snapping with knives, axe handles, ect, the
main problem with midevil european weapons as I
understand wasn't so much breakage as bending.  So I'd
probably have that happen more for great swords/broad
swords/ect.

If I was for realism, I'd probably have both 3 and 18
break/bend weapons, as 1 in 100 for combat
circumstances, or if combat really takes 5 hits per
death, 1/20 deaths, doesn't seem too unlikely.

However, therein lies the problem.  To me, realism
isn't nearly as important as what makes the game
interesting/fun, which varies among different groups.
I guess if one of these things is realism, though,
this still could be applicable.
