Dwarven starting area

Post by Tobias » Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:54 pm

Looking at the dwarvn starting area and the surrounding zone all items are sized small. Since they are put at medium perhaps that can be changed so they will have properly fitting armour and weapons for sale. :P

The keeper of the store there sells all medium-sized objects. So too the objects dropped by the rats and other critters. Which objects did you find that were sized small?

Hmm after looking at a couple pieces I realized the staff is meant to be small. For some reason I thought it would naturally be medium but I wasn't thinking quarter staff means not a full stave for medium sized creatures! Sorry man.

"Quarterstaff" doesn't mean it's small -- a quarterstaff is still as tall as a man, and definitely wouldn't be a small sized weapon.

Well. You are both correct in this case and there is an issue.

There are two quarterstaves available in the starter area, an half-length (designed for small races) and a full length variety. The former (a half-length wooden quarterstaff) was sold in Mithral Hall's midden pits because I overlooked the size change for dwarves in FK when I was updating the training file; it is supposed to be sized small, but it should not be sold there. I have corrected that pending an update of the game.

I believe the old half-length wooden quarterstaff functioned as a one-handed staff weapon; is this no longer the case? Or was it always size small and I just didn't realize?

The latter, I believe.
