Pardon the double-post, you can delete the one before..

This is from a forum-based free-form RPG I was starting up.. there was more to it but it got lost when the host showed how much of a scam it was.  The character and world were mostly based on QfG, as is rather obvious, but there's a few changes, like the Lancier Sword, which of course I'm not married to.

As you can see, in this, at some point along the way, the hero has been given a bad lot of luck and now he's more wanderer than hero -- or at least was, until he passed by a fimiliar face... the dryad.  And she has some plans for you.

What those plans are, or what may have given him his streak of bad luck are both things I'm trying to figure out, but I suddenly remembered about this place and figured maybe I'd propose this to you, the kind folk here.

Pardon my nitpicking, but the hilt is as long as the blade? Eh?

[Reish Vedaur]

Yep!  It's meant to double as a lance.

[Corsair5]

How the heck would you wield something that long unless you were on horseback?

[Reish Vedaur]

With both hands, in much the same way you weild an axe or sledgehammer.

[Corsair5]

Most axes and sledgehammers aren't 6 feet long. Not even a claymore was that long.

[Reish Vedaur]

Length in an item's description can be deceptive about its weight or girth.  The hilt really isn't thick or heavy, that's why there's a counterweight on the butt of the hilt; if you put a counterweight there, by the way, you actually have an advantage in leverage.

He has a point there. Some swords are perfectly balanced so they can be also thrown ad various demon-wizards.

[Reish Vedaur]

Yeah!! So pffffffffft!

Now, quit harping over this singular point lol.

[Silverbolt]

Basically, it's like a Half-Naginata...

[Reish Vedaur]

Close enough, lol.

[Silverbolt]

Hence the "basically"

Ok, back on topic.

[Reish Vedaur]

You know, it's just come to mind that in no time during the series do you ever really meet another student from the Famous Adventurers' Correspondance School.  Wouldn't it be great if a part of the plot revolved around him either doing things a little differently than you would like to have handled it, and you trying to either set him straight or outdo him or something along those lines?

EDIT!!!!

In fact!! That could be it!  Maybe you meet him in Hero6 and he tells you about all his exploits in the next game's place, and when you get there you find out that he really left the place in shambles and they don't trust anyone from the FACS anymore so they throw you out in disgrace!

HA! I'm brilliant! *boasts*

have another hero who's going around saving things faster than you can. and for the sake of what an amusing conversation it would make, make the other hero a woman
