Re: [dq-rules] Approval of Draft Procedure

Hello--


I've taken out just the weapons tables (including the descriptions, notes, and Experience Points tables) and put them into a text file on the dq-rules Files section, in the Drafts folder:
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dq-rules/files/drafts/cwt.txt)
That's good. The text file mess actually bugged me enough that I edited a version yesterday which has all the separation done by spaces instead of tabs, and it was indeed the tabs that were messing everything up previously. Happily, we will now need no more than one text file version in that respect. I also uncovered a couple of mistakes I'd missed previously, as well as noticed two things I needed to change. Those were: Longsword now weighs the same as the broadsword, 3 instead of 5, and chain weighs 4 instead of 5. I'm also thinking of adding the Flamberge note to the Khopesh, as it has a baldde that cannot be normally scabbarded (not fully anyway, unless the scabbard is ridiculously wide). 



This file omits the Martial Arts rules, the shields rules and the armor rules from the original draft.  I think that each of these should be covered separately.  I think we should put each of these out as separate files for discussion and comment before they are ready for final draft configuration.
I've come to that conclusion as well. I can make the modifications to all of the files, separate the armor and shield stuff out to their own respective files, which will also clear up some of the formatting. As the complete file stands right now, the weapon notes section being after the armor and shields is out of place, but it's that way because I originally wanted all the tables in sequence. 


 I think that these are close, but there are more new assumptions and changes in the armor and shields, and there should be more discussion about these, in my opinion, before we move ahead on those.  I've see(and even helped work on one version of) Martial Arts rules as a Skill.  I think this one should draw together other drafts and be further discussed before a final draft is ready.
I completely agree with you on this. I still hope that even though we do this piecemeal, the CWT can be approved more or less as a whole so that we have a comprehensive list of combat equipment when all is said and done, however long that takes.
